One of my daughter’s band instructors gave me a great idea….a heated motorcycle suit. Gerry rides almost all year. The suit plugs into a 12 volt cigarette lighter socket.

Looks good Mark.As the owner of a (very common) red TD, I gotta say….I love Sarasota’s blue! Very unique. Very nice!

 Montie, I’m with Ray10. Looks great and definitely one of a kind. Best of all, you made it yourself from something that was already special to begin with. There are somethings that money can’t buy.

 Mark,  Good looking TD. I really like the wheels with the blue color. Looking forward to more pictures and details. Great progress.

Montie if you get tired of being a fed-ex driver you might want to take up wood working.
Very nice  
Now can you make one for a chevy …… just kidding

Well after searching about every web site and parts store around I finally found out I can’t use any of the so called universal top button style shifter knob.  I did fine a guy that makes some really nice custom wood knobs, but waaay too rich for my budget and he ONLY make them for screw on style standard shifters 3,4,5,6 speeds.  Sooooo I d…[Read more]

There’s still a few good days here in Ohio too.  For me in the winter any sunny dry day is fair game.  Just need a heavier coat.

 I just can’t do the snow thingstill good convertible sunshine today and took a ride to get milk and cookies the grand kids are coming over  I know you northern guys got snow my daughter got 8 inches I cut my visit short a day next spring will be better Dan

I don’t know where you are, Tom, but have you considered renting a storage unit? Here in Houston there are even some made and marketed especially for collector cars. I’m fortunate to have garage space, but will confess to taking a slow drive through one of the nearby car storage layouts on a Saturday morning just to eyeball the various rides.

Amen to that, Tom! This past week has been some of the best top-down smiling weather we’ve had in ages, and it looks like plenty more in store. Even so, I keep my Lafer garaged year-round, with no pets or critters allowed as overnight guests.

Great to have you, Roy! Just stick your arm out and merge into the slow lane with the rest of us (or at least, those with VW powerplants). Here’s hoping you get some decent cruising weather in North Carolina before winter shuts you down.  

Thanks guys, My bernese mountain dog thinks squirrels are his friends and they have no fear. I wish I had a garage. I will try the dryer sheets and moth balls.  Thanks again for the imput

One of the few times I’m glad I live in the deep south. Really feel for you guys up north that have to store your vehicles for the winter.

Ed, Will do.  What is the deadline for photos?   You might want to consider a page with a collage of license plates since some of them are quite interesting. Roy

 Moth balls have worked for me  I use both a rodent plug in chirper i bought at Lows       Dan

Jeez. Glad you got power there, Paul. Good timing on the put away. 

I hate the lingering effects…but moth balls do seem to work pretty well.

I use dryer sheets. The kind you put in with your clothes in a dryer. The smell keeps them out. Or you could try mothballs, they say that works well also.
