Default Tim to the rescue!
As some of you know I had some issues with my car on my way to the Dragons Tail.
Here I am on my way to the Tail on Thursday when I decide to stop at Tapoco Lodge to see if any other CR.net members are there. I see Tim, he decides to check air pressures in our tires, and being low we drive back into Robbinsville, NC before we would hit the Gap. At 1 pm, as we are pulling into the gas station, my clutch refuses to disengage.
Thankfully Tim, looks under my car and realizes my clutch slave cylinder has gone bad. Here we are in a town of maybe 1000 people, and 2 mom & pop auto parts stores. Tim drives me to one, and low and behold, they ACTUALLY have the slave cylinder in stock. So, Tim (who came prepared with all the right tools) replaces my slave cylinder under an awning in pouring rain. =D> After bleeding the clutch forever, we finally get clutch pressure. I put the tire back on, take it off the jack, and try to back it out. NO CLUTCH AGAIN! #-o After hours of trying to bleed the clutch and anything else we could think of, it appears the master cylinder is now bad.
It's now almost 6 pm and none of the auto parts stores can get the part until Satuday. So, my friend Stan (he was the guy in the G6 at the pic) finds the part in Maggie Valley NC, picks it up Friday morning and drives 1 1/2 hours to bring the part. Tim comes back at noon with his tools. and I replace the master cylinder. Everything works great now and I want to thank Tim =D> for all the help and time he put in to get me going again. If I had not seen Tim, I would have been stuck somewhere on the Dragons Tail with no clutch. Thanks again!
Here's pics of Tim hard at work:

Those pics were when he first started, before it rained and a river ran down right where he was sitting.
