Please do start that other thread. Is Knotts Berry Farm still a thing?

Meanwhile, as of today, the Carlisle Import and Performance Show is NOT CANCELED. I’ll post here immediately if or when that announcement comes.

Trying to behave as though I know it will happen, even though my brain says it’s unlikely. Please continue your house arrest.

Hey Gang

I wanted to revive this old post regarding a West Coast meet up. I had started to put something together but we lost momentum and then life got in the way…

As we’re all sitting at home on corona restriction, this might be a good time to revive the idea of a gathering. Besides, once again, Life has brought into focus the things that…[Read more]

Dear Friends

A couple years ago, I tried to get something going, here in California. There was just a little bit of interest, from some of our members, but then it fizzled out. I’d still Love to start a meet-up, out here, in the Land of Surf and Sun…Sure, it’d be slow to start but who knows what it could turn into…I’m open to any ideas and…[Read more]

Thanks to all but especially to Paul, who’s info got me past the “sticking point,” and just in time!  The repair guy is due at my house any minute to remove the damaged radiator shell and repair it. This will save him a lot of time and head scratching.

Well, I located the source of the play in my steering system. I had cross drilled the flanges of the new U-joints from Borgeson and bolted them fast to the shafts. Apparently bolts are a no-no. Spring pins seem to have tightened it up. Couple more items and we can take advantage of the unseasonable weather.

Thanks
