Unfortanatly No Surge stands about 6’2″ there wasn’t enough room for his legs (had to put feet and legs to the other side of the car. ) Plus His mom didn’t like the idea of him driving it to the prom. So I ended up paying for a limo for all of them. Well worth the money (poor limo driver had to listen to those girls for a hour .)

Ed, There isn’t anything that can cause static timing to change except point wear.  What distributor are you running?  Mine is their old sva.  MiGi had a 009 when I bought it.  Runs much better with the sva.  You may be in for a major tuneup:  oil, valves, points, timing, carb.  While I do believe that you were running rich, leaning out the mixtur…[Read more]

Its hard to see your kids grow up because that means your are getting old.I have found that  getting old isn’t to bad.Grandchildren, retirement,sleeping in care free lifestyle oh yea i almost forgot grown up TOYS.   

But the nice thing about him or her  is that they left no mark on the tire.

Top hat and gloves makes for a class shot. That’s a keeper.

From that one shot, I can see why dogs usually aren’t welcome.

Mine is built on an English Ford Escort. Not so much a kit car as a complete replica built in South Africa on a new 1986 frame. I put a starter on it once with no trouble. The trouble I had was finding the correct part which I finally got out of London.

How did they all fit in to go  Dan

Nice! The top hat should’ve earned him some time behind the wheel.

It’s legal to pass that way ONLY if the farm vehicle is at least, as the old Rush tune put it, “two lanes wide.”

Any update on solving this problem? We all have to know these things.

Well, we made it back.  Pulled into my drive at 6pm.  A little over 1100 miles towing with another 350 while MiGi was under her own power.  Like Bill, we were fortunate to have no breakdowns of any sort.  Our TD’s are so light, they tow beautifully (four wheels on the ground).  I was pulling with a smallish 2008 Mercury Mariner SUV with a 3.0 V6…[Read more]

Nice stuff!Thanks for sharing!

Bill, We were there about 15 minutes before you arrived.  Will do about lunch, but it may be a while.  Glad to have met you.  You guys are all a fun bunch. 

Well, I’ve been driving myself crazy on how to post photos. I came close to smashing this computer a couple of times. Anyhow, I think I got it.Here are a few I took. This was a great weekend. Great weather, great people.Roy, I’d like to know how far behind you I was when I arrived at your brotherin law’s house on Sunday. Nothing broke this…[Read more]

Good deal  DanR

Ed,

Julie! Dang! Sorry about that. She’s a trooper.And why did we not track down Allen and his wife & kidnap them on the ice cream run? Should’ve put them both in my car and rode with you.Regrets, regrets.Right on the oil change. Gonna re-set the timing this week, back it off a few degrees, then reset the idle. Betting that gets most of it. Oil change…[Read more]
