... cool but glorious weather. Anybody else getting out?


Porsche 911 SC (1982) followed by a Porsche 911 C4S "993" (1997) followed by a Bug-eye Sprite (1959).
These videos almost always look better in full-screen mode at YouTube.
 
Took the Alfa and the Tr6 out for their bi-monthly runs. They ran perfectly. Drove around the Stamford reservoir and back home. You're lucky to have such smooth roads and such light traffic. Roads here are in terrible condition, bumpy, patched and many speed bumps. Either that or crowded parkways or the horror of I-95. You did a good job. How did you shoot this? I tried to do a video with my wife holding the Olympus M10 on the Triumph dashboard but it bounced all over the place. Did you use a Go-Pro?
 
inspiring. I've got a TR which has been driven for the last 12 years but sadly now has it's block sitting on my work bench. I'll be out there this morning.

Didn't use the GoPro (but have one). This was more spontaneous so I just used my phone... which makes for more difficult driving in spots. :p The best thing about using the phone is that one can compensate for being jostled about.

Looked like great roads to be driving on. Enjoyed the music and scenery.

Planning on driving to our club meeting on Saturday morning.

Those roads were made for driving!

Yes, they are very good (and some re-paved this year). Of course, we avoid poor roads... and at the turn-around point there was gravel.
 
I am working hard to get my sprite up and going by the spring with many changes. Your video inspired me to get the engine md trans I'm using pulled out of another car this weekend. When shes all finished (again) it'll be the first time shes been back on the road in many years!!! I cant wait. Excellent video!!!
