Thanks for contributing.

Interested in seeing picks of spare tire mounts, especially on LRs. How the heck do i see the pics in someone’s “profile”?

My “trunk” has a fiberglass spare tire holder built in, but it looks like that space is taken up by the air filter. Do others mount their spare tires on the outside of that cover?

Right now, I just have flat head screwdriver for adjusting the roof frame (which I have yet to need up. I have not put the side curtains on, but am a little dissappointed to hear that the wings have to be removed to use. I figured that they would just…

I have a switch on the dash that turns the fan on, and only one lever on the right, which I am guessing controls the amount of heat. Will be checking it and confirming when the rain stops.

She got delivered Thursday night, just in time for a beautiful 4-day weekend. I couldn’t have asked for better, as we got 4 straight days of gorgeous sunny day. First day back at work today was a lot easier to handle since it’s been pouring all day!

It was under the seat, on the tunnel.
No troubles registering at all. I think having the previous title (Make: London, Model: Roadster, Year 1985) helped, as-well-as me never saying the word “kit”.
 
The weather has been great, and I just turned my 200th mile (in 2 days)…..THIS THING IS AWESOME!!!

She is supposed to be delivered tonight…so I am sure this day will drag!!
 
I am in Cumberland, but do find myself in Newport often. Looking forward to turning some heads on Thames and America’s Cup!

I am hoping that since it is titled as an ’85, and presently registered in another state, that the process will not be TOO bad….but we’ll see on Friday.
After talking to the elderly former owners, she seems like she has had recent service, and has been on the road regularly, but I will surely be doing the routine maintenance stuff…

I’m sure some of you figured I’d show-up sooner or later!

Car is being delivered Thursday night, and I can’t wait to get her on the road.
Seems like many of you know a lot more about “my” ride than I do, so please feel-free to clue me in on the important stuff.
I’ll be searching the…
