It's getting to be roadster time

I've got to get in the garage and get my car back together. It's been very nice here in central AR this week - sunny and 60's.
 
Sunny and 40s have got me thinking about it here in Utah....
 
Same weather in Louisiana. Going to take tthe TR3 to Henderson Tx. to some motorcycle races.

Might be a good idea to go to Henderson myself. Look for an old coot in a yellow TR6, unless the weatherman is all wrong and it turns out sunny, in which case I'll be on a bike of some sort.
 
I was in southern Arizona all last week, temps ranged from mid 60's to id 80's, and I didnt see one LBC, how disapointing.....
 
Geo,

I'm down in Green Valley every winter around this time. Grandma's 92 and still lives in her own house. I spent all last week driving my rental car imagining the top down. I'll try and remember to post ahead of time next year.

There's still snow all around here in N. Idaho, but the sun has been out, and I'm getting real itchy to fire up the TR6. Soon as all that freaking gravel and sand is off the roads...I'm doing it. Woops...can't forget about the **** insurance!

Came back to Wisconsin to 30 deg. and snow and slush. Roads still salty too. Gonna be another 30 days or more yet.

Steve and all the rest of you... If your travel plans put you in Southern AZ in the winter and you want to see LBCs on the road please let me know. Our local all-marque club has something going on almost every week-end this time of year. If we don't have an event scheduled... we can probably still come up with something.

I saw 100+ LBCs last Saturday alone as it was our annual Garage Tour -- everything from a Morris Minor with a Judson SuperCharger to a beautifully restored AC Ace.
 
Doesn't the State of Wisconsin use de-icer fluid on the roads by now? It's some kind of magnesium chloride formula, and it promotes rust like crazy. It's also a sticky, syrupy mess that gums up your brakes. Idaho uses lots of that s**t. I'm beginning to think regular salt is better. It might be at least 2 months before all the de-icer and gravel clears here.

We've got some neighbors that moved from WI last year. They seemed to have liked the winter we had - very mild. He's got a couple of buddies down from WI this week and they're out playing golf right now.

65F and sunny today, but my TR6 is still in the garage with the dash ripped out of it.
