Well, I have been racking up the miles locally and have driven pretty far with no issues. I was really hoping I wouldn't have any problems when I went to the 45th Thursday night cruise. But as luck would have it, Murphy did strike!
I had a bolt come out of the brake sheild on the right spindle and allowed it to rub on the rotor. It made a horrible noise. I pulled over during the cruise but couldn't do anything on the side of the highway so I jumped back in line and cruised on in to Homewood. I managed to get a zip tie to hold it on for the cruise back to the hotel. I didn't have proper tools to pull the caliper and rotor at Homewood. So many people offered to help and loan tools etc, great bunch of people.
I found this video of the cars coming into Homewood on YouTube, at about a 1:45 my car goes by making the horrible noise.

this was the zip tie doing it's job, in fact I waited until I got home to fix it right. Zip Ties and duct tape and I can fix anything!
