August 20th, 2011 Breakfast with Broncos in Colorado Springs

Postby 66and70Broncos » Sat Aug 20, 2011 3:39 pm

6 Broncos, 9 Enthusiasts, and 1 dog made it to Rudy's this morning for some great breakfast burritos. We ended up hanging around and talking for 1 1/2 hours or so and looking over different upgrades and mods. Had a great time. First time to Rudy's and I will be back soon. Andrew and I did some part trading afterwards and ended up running around town to trade some rockers and bikini top followed by a trip to Don's Bronco Paradise to browse his 75-100 or so Broncos. Wow...what a great place! I already love having the bikini top to keep the direct sunlight off.

It was great to meet some new Bronco enthusiasts...I'll be seeing you all again soon!

i didn't realize you guys were still doing this, i would've been there :(, i ended up pulling the petronix ignitor junk off of my truck, somehow some enough dirt got into the distributor to get caught between the ignition module and reluctor ring and destroyed them both, so i just put the spare points i had laying around back on it and now it runs better than it has in 4 years, i thought about going to duraspark, but i plan on doing the efi swap in the next 6months so i think i'll just hold off on that, i see some new rigs i haven't seen before, wish i could've been there, gary im assuming you got the fuel problem figured out, what'd you end up running for a fuel pump setup?

Awesome morning. The BBQ breakfast burritos (soft tacos, same thing) were great. Spicy sausage, bacon, eggs, pulled pork was a great combo. Tons of parking and tons of room sit and chat.

Chatting with other broncoholics was great.

Had a great time! Sorry I had to split early. Only had the babysitter for the morning.

Good to meet a few new guys and chat with some old friends!

Corey - sorry you didn't know. The thread got updated a couple times and the title was misleading. I thought about txt'ing you Sat. morning, but I just never had a good time running my son to the sitter, coming back to get the bronco and back out again.

I got some pictures as well, but probably noting that will add to this thread. Had a great time tho!

Oh, Gary hasn't had the time to address his fuel issues. Bronco does great around town. It's only on unlevel ground that he has trouble. But he'll get that sorted out soon!

Sorry about the confusion on the event thread title. Glad you guys still carried the torch and got together. Rudy's looks like a great place for Breakfasts. Thanks for the great pics - looks like a great time.

no worries, the ol' bronc got some much needed attention, being my daily driver it tends to get neglected, i also discovered my drivers floor pan is not in as fair of condition as it was about 4 years ago when i last saw it, im thinkin' i should probably put her down towards the end of winter and complete some of the serious repairs i've been putting off, and EFI and the custom dash i wanna build would be nice too! speaking of that im looking for a 88-93 fox body mustang to become my daily driver, if anybody knows of a decent one, has to be a 5.0 5spd, preferably a notchback, but im fine with a hatch too, and gary like i said, just lemme know when you need it and i'll come down and help ya with your rig
