ZCON 2015 Hookup

I've never heard beer called "parts" before, that's a good one. 

 

Did you place your order with the local QT?   

It can double as a beer (or in my case, soda) cooler.

I'll add a circuit to power the fan. The fan will circulate air over the ice, and the air coming out will keep the driver from dying.

Steve....Neat idea.....anxious to hear how it works. I always wanted to rig up a resovoir above an old radiator to put ice in, so when the ice slowly melted, it would run down through the radiator and then out the bottom (overboard) with a fan behind it to blow cool air (for my boat when we slept on it). It would work for campers also. Sorry 'bout the Commadores baseball.....so close to a repeat. See you in Memphis!

Picked up my trailer yesterday as it had just finished the manufacturing process.  This is going to be my Z's new mobile home.

 

First trip - Memphis!!  Looking forward to seeing all of you guys there.

I actually toyed with the idea of an intercooler buried under the ice, but I didn't want to spend too much time, energy and money on the project. 

 

As for the College World Series, the women's tennis team got the NCAA championship this year, and I think Vanderbilt is limited to a maximum of one championship per school year. Besides, lately, the baseball team doesn't rebuild. It reloads. They will have another chance soon enough.

I have some friends with Harleys, they have those nice trailers too.  Mount an air conditioner on top like an RV, have generators and an RV type toilet.  Put cabinets and a loveseat, AeroBed mattress. They stay in the trailers instead of hotels and love it.

Also the exhaust fan switch for those Mexican restaurant nights.

Hi all, doesn't look like I'll be able to make it this year.  Can some of you upload photos to our gallery?  I've created a category for the images, or you can simply upload them to your own album.

Have a great time and drink lots of water, I heard it's going to be a hot week.

Definately I'll post my pictures when I get home.  Mom's house/dog sitting and has to have my laptop while she's here, she stays online as much as her teenage granddaughters.  I'm going to get another memory stick for my old Sony.

 

Water's for flowers!

Mike, I'll be taking LOTS of photos. I'll probably put some on here, but all will end up in my Flickr account and on Fiddling with Z Cars.
