Kerplop Report post Posted April 23, 2016 I can think of no better compliment from a fellow Lambo owner and enthusiast than someone to say, "Hey, I'd like to take my Lamborghini on a road trip to come see your Lamborghini project status." Ohlgren and I talked on the phone several times and talked about it for some time and we just now got around to it. He drove all the way down from washington with his Jalpa to come check out my Jalpa. Emissary also showed up in his 993 which is soon to be an RWB car. It was a ton of fun to meet up with some LP members. We went for a drive up to smith rock and hung out there and then went to lunch and back. A nice afternoon of car talk and good car people. It was an absolute pleasure to meet Ohlgren, he's a 100% class act and true enthusiast. Shitty selfie from Kerplop and Ohlgren. In the words of Emissary when the Jalpa flooded at Smith Rock and wouldn't start, "There's no greater example of an italian sports car moment than this right here." So I hopped out and directed traffic around us while he worked on getting the car started again. It was pretty comical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the light at the end of the tunnel phase. But I can tell you that there's been plenty of moments where I was feeling overwhelmed. Not so much anymore. Now I just can't wait for the engine to be done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohlgren Report post Posted April 25, 2016 I had a great time in Bend this last weekend. It was a great trip and so much fun exchanging car stories Saturday afternoon. Great to get an educational up close look at a Jalpa in mid restoration. We took the long way down, so the Jalpa covered over 400 miles during the weekend. It sure didn't like the altitude, but once I got closer to home, it settled down and idled more reasonably. Still too rich, but much more agreeable than in Bend. 3,600 feet makes a difference. Other than some tuning issues, the car behaved flawlessly. I will try to post a couple pics from the drive later today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohlgren Report post Posted April 26, 2016 Here are a couple from the road. I had big ambitions of filming the trip and shooting a ton of pics. Only got a few and these were my favorites. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had taken my camera along for some footage but the battery wasn't charged in time, my own darn fault. Regardless, was a pleasure to meet you and go have fun!
