... and the cool cars are beginning to hit the road.
I thought about driving the Triumph to work today. It's supposed to be in the low 60s. instead I drove the van.
When I pulled in the lot there was a really nice TR4A IRS parked near where I park. BRG, chrome wires. Not a flaw to be seen. I need to meet the owner.
Heck, I may go home at lunch and drive the TR back.
Isn't it great when the weather finally changes.
 
It's not fair. We're having 2 days of nice (mid 50's) spring-like weather after the 20" of snow we got over the weekend. That means plenty of melting snow and worse, salt, all over the roads. Then we go right back into winter, from what I hear, just in time for the weekend. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
 
Man, I'm so jealous. Spring's still a ways away up here. We've still got the remnants of our nearly 2 foot weekend snowfall laying around. Supposed to hit 50 today though by some freak of nature, strange for February.
 
Well, north Alabama will be in the 60's tomorrow...may be time for a short top down drive!

Just wait until July and August, we'll see who's enjoying their TRs then..

I'm just wondering if I can make it up to Dallas for the VTR convention without melting.

Well, its not quite that dry here....went over to my MG Graveyard & buried my little Sonoma on the area I redid & spread new grass last Fall....had to go get the big Dodge to pull it out...now, gotta fill the ruts!
 
We're getting about 6" or so of "Spring coming" here today...then the cold hits! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/pukeface.gif Not fair at all! I want to be /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif
 
Well, for the third week in a row: Weekdays are warm and sunny, weekends turn into a deep-freeze. This weekend they're forcasting major sleet and freezing rain /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif I can't get any of my car or home-improvement projects finished at this rate! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif
 
Well, high 70s again today... haven't has a drop of rain in 4 months... haven't had a cold day in over a year. Droughts and Global Warming aren't good things but don't tell my TRs that.
 
i hope it's 140 degrees in arizona this summer! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/savewave.gif

Sure is. Snowed overnight, dark and raining this morning and a high of 34. 2 more months to go!
 
Geez, now I feel bad for bring it up. If it's any consolation we're due to get a "wintery mix of precipitation" all weekend.
 
I wish Spring was in the air around here. Instead it's 18 degrees with about 5 inches of snow on the ground. Temps are only forcasted to be in the 20's for the next few days. AARGH!!!
 
70 today in north alabama - took my Italian job out for a top down run!
 
Went for an hours drive this afternoon, top down weather 65 and cloudy. Thunderstorms tonight and rain for the weekend.
