Oh so pretty!
 
I second what was mentioned earlier. That is one really nice TR3A. Great picture.
 
Isn't it great when you are in the best spot in the world at the right time and and at least for a moment ....everything is to perfection. You enjoy.
 
He made it, and though I didn't meet Frank on the side of the road, I did meet him on the side of the road. I met him (first) in this parking lot and again on Pier 21. Although hard to believe, his car looks better in real life than in pictures. We had a great show and the cars were impressive.

Here is a picture from the hotel window, days before the show.
 
I just bought a '72 TR6 a month ago, and registered a couple of weeks ago in this forum. I wish I had known about the event in Galveston. I live just 20 miles north, in League City!

I love the TR6. A friend of mine said that the exhaust note was worth half of the purchase price. :smile:

Jerry: Where did you go after dinner? Randy and I looked for you - we wanted to take some photos.

John: This is a really nice group of TR folks. Jerry, aka, Texas Knuckle Head and his wife came to our rescue when we lost all running lights (head lights and turn signals were OK) on a dinner run one night. They followed us all the way to the restaurant in Kemah. Some of the best Mexican food I have had in a long time! Someone else followed us back to the hotel. The following morning we discovered a blown fuse in the lighting circuit. This is the fuse that is hidden behind the instrument cluster.

WOW.

How did it run from PA? A dream in that "Perfect" 3, I bet, except the running light issue.

I'll have to think about a trip like that. When's the next big event and where?

More pics would be great.

Here's a link to our club website, if you click on Frank in the picture (or any other part of the picture!) you will get to see a few shots of the convention.

It was a lot of fun, I hope everyone else had a good time too - my only minor downside was not enough time to meet and talk with people and check out the cars because of volunteer duties. But I did get to meet sdmac7204, quite a nice guy, as well as Frank, also a great guy to hang with.
 
There was an amazing collection of beautiful cars there... Was great until it was time to come home.

You were gone by the time we got done eating. We went back to the hotel and to bed. The mornings came early, and like Randy, I had more to do than I could keep up with. Still, I wish we'd have had a picture taken. I didn't meet SD at all.

The pics on the web are great. I also didn't get the time I wanted to look at the cars, or talk to the owners. But I enjoyed every minute and hope to do it again. The cars and people were impressive.

Now to me a road trip is only fun if it has a challenge or two along the way! The lights sound about right. Glad to hear it went well and best of luck on the return!
