Had an old friend over today who had never met Ms Triss. She fired up third try, the roads were dry, thought, why not? Top was up so it wasn't the full experience and we only went around the block a few times, but, it counts!

Made me think of this Countdown till Spring
 
Nice,I remember when they used to park a car on the ice in Tweed and sell tickets. I suspect you would break 100 environmental laws today.
 
It was a lovely day in SoCal today, so I took Ruby Redcar out for a spin around town. It was especially nice, since she was off the road about three months. A clutch problem, then the replacement pressure plate turned out to be defective, so I had to pull it apart again. All in order now, though.
 
glad she's sorted - now get out and drive for the rest of us!
 
About to head to the garage as I write to finally get back to Bugsy's front end reassembly. Been 2 1/2 weeks with not a spare hour. All jobs done, no honey do's this AM. Wife sleeping in, time to tackle wishbone and spindle reinstallation. Garage warming up from 32 degrees out right now. Hopefully at leat on side reassembled and completed. Temps into 50's by late in the week. Come on Spring.
 
I'll second that Jim. I got the Midget out a few days ago and drove it. Put some fresh gas in it, and it is all set for its spring tune up. I'm going to get the Sprite out today and see how it runs with its big new air filter. I'll put some fresh gas in it and clear a day on the calendar to do tune ups.
