    I got the same thing, glad I'm not the only one! After several failed fixes, a coworker suggested installing something called the "K-Lite Mega Codec Pack" and it worked. http://download.cnet.com/K-Lite-Mega-Codec-Pack/3000-13632_4-10794603.html

    I am terribly sad to report that two small itinerant Wyomingites have met their demise this morning.

    I'm sure somebody has a better pic without a thumb, but this is the Beartooth Hwy. You can see it snaking around. I'm sure glad I got to drive it the next day (with the new alternator). https://picasaweb.google.com/sindyrdavis/Lotus7NorthernTourSummer201102?authkey=Gv1sRgCPOjq4vd47GoxQE&feat=email#5631676504998168386

    Well I'm back, as well. The trip home was uneventful for me. Thanks again to Gert for organizing it. Thanks to Skip and Tom for the trailer and Miata rides. And Gert, please thank your friends again for the rig parking. My camper did pick up some small furry Wyoming hitchhikers during the tour, whom I hope to murder shortly...

    I have some cell phone pics here, mostly from the car while driving... https://picasaweb.google.com/sindyrdavis/Lotus7NorthernTourSummer201102?authkey=Gv1sRgCPOjq4vd47GoxQE&feat=email

    I'm on my way, spending the evening at a cedar city rv park. I'm actually in a smallish (20'?) RV and 18' flatbed. Hope that's ok with the angels providing parking.

    Yep, like a city-scale Napoleon syndrome:) I was directed to the manager of a local Albertson's who was actually cool with me parking there if I called him when I got there. But it seemed a bit sketchy from a security standpoint. At this point I'm good with the Idaho Falls place, but Albertson's is my backup option.

    Wow, I don't know what to say... http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?=743264506

    On another subject, anybody else planning on stopping by Bonneville on the way back?

    The website says it's $10/night, with trailer that's probably $20/night. A little steep, but an option. The Idaho Falls place is $50 for the whole month.

    That would be great, but if it's a no-go I found an RV storage place in Idaho Falls. I called all over Jackson and came up empty.

    Looks like Storage Stables may be flaking on me. Anybody have any other leads for tow rig storage?

    Oops, missed it. Pdf sent. I guess I'll turn on email notification...

    Let me know if I missed anybody. I wish I didn't have to scan it; the maps lost a little legibility. But I lost some software in the last computer "upgrade".

    I compiled Gert's directions into book form if anybody is interested. It's a 4.2 MB pdf scan that won't seem to attach, so I would have to email it.

    I (carefully) welded some #6 threaded rod to the back and bolted to the stainless mesh with rubber washers and double-nutting. The mesh wobbles some (the 7 is surprisingly heavy) but I think it will hold. Yeah, I made the "442" frame. There's a build thread on the other forum. http://locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=98

    Mounted! I just polished it up with a buffing wheel and shot with clear engine enamel, which turned slightly yellow when I baked it.

    All fixed. A rubber thingy wedged in the throttle cam and degreaser goo in the spark plug wells.

    After no maintenance and no problems for years, after I decide to clean it up of course I’m having issues. First the alternator bearing went out, now this morning on the way to work I had a miss in the ignition and turned around to get it home. About halfway home the throttle stuck at 1/3 open and I had to turn the key on/off to regulate speed. FUN!

    Got the suspension parts plated and put back together, put on HTR200s (front) in place of the "bald-but-just-getting-good" RA1s, and everything's waxed and/or polished. Just about ready!

    Yeah I know but I start to get really paranoid about the weather, and getting flats, and I start checking for visible cords every drive before I get in the car, etc. I will run the fronts past the bars but I'm definitely changing them before the tour. Besides, it could be my imagination but they seem to tramline pretty bad once they become slicks.

    Wow, my RA1s only lasted about 6k on the front and 3.5k on the rear (to the wear bars). I suspect Little Tujunga tears them up pretty good. I'm giving up on fancy tires. I currently have BFG Radial TA 235s on the back and they give better traction than the 215 RA1s, by virtue of a lot of tread (and weight, but so what).

    You just missed one on Ebay last year in Florida... http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4902814-Find-of-the-Day-1957-Audi-DKW-Munga-Beach-Buggy-on-Crack

    Well I'm all set with the changes, except I can't seem to get a hold of the Ranchester place to cancel.
