Hi (again)! Returning after many years away...

[acg_93_ssei]

Greetings all. In a previous life (and I think in one of the predecessor Bonneville forums rather than this one), I was long-time member acg_ssei. I tried to register with that moniker here, but I think the forum might have inherited my old login ID tied to an old employer email address that I no longer have and cannot recover, so... whatever. I'll start over.

I still have my Beloved Bonneville™ SSEi, a 1993 in Bright White that I bought in 1996, now at somewhere around 125K. (It turned 100,000 miles on January 1, 2000, which seemed like a good day for it.) It had not been driven for many years following some major brake and electrical issues, but I resolved a few weeks back to get it back on the road, and have made much progress since then. I'll try to pick up on my technical posts where I left off many years ago.

Welcome back, I remember the name

Welcome back! Glad to see someone getting these old 90s cars back on the road instead of more into the junkyards.

Welcome back. Always happy to see another 92-99.

Thanks! I think I recognize a few other names here as well.

Speaking of "many years away," the spouse turned up an old calendar the other day that we had obviously saved as a kind of diary, because when you raise three kids you have a lot of stuff you need to keep track of. This calendar was from 2004.

Anyway, she pointed out one entry in my handwriting, for Sunday, May 23, 2004: "Bonneville Club: Lake Bluff" (IL). I have some vague recollection of it (and probably took photos, but that was in film days, so God knows where the negatives are now).

I think we either met at a restaurant for lunch, then all drove in a mini-convoy to someplace else, or did it the other way around: met someplace like a parking lot or easy-to-access-from-the-Interstate location, then all drove to the restaurant. Anyway, there was a restaurant, and a convoy. I think we had maybe 10 cars show up. It was fun.
