Rooms can be booked now?

I will probably flat tow.  And this will be my first long distance flat tow.  Any suggestions as to what to be aware of and spares to bring?

The Courtyard Marriott in Mechanicsburg is the venue of choice. They provide a reserved area of their parking lot for the group with room for trailers. We piggyback with the Speedster Owners Group. There is usually a discount through the group for room rates.

But…It’s way to early.

Now that this subject has been brought up, who is heading up t…[Read more]

I removed the fibreglass wheelcover when I did the restoration of my FF TDR I fabbed a bracket from 3/16 steel similar to one sold by MG Magic and mounted it to the engine cover with 4 bolts that I reinforced with additional fibreglass. I added four rubber spacers around the opening so the spare does not rest on the engine cover. I also added…[Read more]

Noels, congratulations! Your car looks terrific and just wait until you drive it. People in other vehicles literally hang out of their windows to video you going past.

Very pretty car.  Mine was originally Chevette powered.  It does still have Chevette front and rear suspension.  I am curious as to what suspension your car has.

Yes, it is too early for storage – but we are now in Portugal, and headed to Trinidad for a month of sailing (see http://lifepart2.info) before returning to Canada for winter skiing. Then we go back to the boat in the spring, and so it won’t be until the proper summer that we get back to drive Sally.

And if I seem a bit excited, that might have…[Read more]
