So came home (from work, in Bridget) to this notice from the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration: Important information about Maryland registered historic vehicles Dear Historic Vehicle Owner, As the owner of a historic vehicle, we want to make you aware of legislation passed by the Maryland General Assembly that goes into effect on […] View

Roy…you’re coming after all?

Pets are “strongly discouraged” on the Carlisle fair grounds. (But not prohibited) The usual caveats apply.

Planning on getting there by 1, inshalla.

Received an RSVP from Richard Wobby! Now we’ve got a party.

Jeep-driving, hot-rodding neighbor Jim is also gonna come. He is a welder by trade.

Looking good, Dave.
edward ericson replied to the topic Parts – Trunk Tire in the forum VW Based Kits 9 years, 5 months ago

Now that is an interesting question!

OK: so the tire is supposed to be a spare tire, and is on many (not all) TDRs. There are different mounting mechanisms for each TDr brand. But the basic idea is pretty simple and can be accomplished with a couple of steel plates and/or straps.

Can you post a picture of what you have (and don’t have?)

Hells to-the-yeah.
edward ericson replied to the topic Liftmas! in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 5 months ago

Nope. No need to bolt down a 4-poster, Bill. And it comes with handy casters for easy mobility.

Now we’re getting somewhere.

See you Thursday.

Reminder, gentlemen:

This could be you.

So far, only Vicenc has expressed interest.

I’m going to open it up to my drag-racing neighbors as well.

Weather permitting, we’ll probably roll the lift out onto the driveway and re-level it there, so as to have max headroom.

I cruised over to the usual Saturday cars & coffee at the Hunt Valley mall. Rolled in behind a stunning cream colored Speedster replica and I swear Bridget got more attention than that car.

Soon as I parked (between an MGB and a 911 turbo), the 911 turbo guy struck up a conversation, wanting to know all about Bridget. “Does it have a race…

edward ericson replied to the topic MGTD/MGTDR Comments? in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 5 months ago

Could you keep both for a year while deciding? I’d make the decision based on which one I enjoyed driving more. Getting them both road-worthy would seem the 1st step to a sale anyway, so nothing lost there but time and maybe a scraped knuckle. The BCW is probably a bit roomier. The original is cooler. Both will hold maintenance challenges. If the…[Read more]
edward ericson replied to the topic Windwing Hardware in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 5 months ago

Like most of the TDrs, the BCW is, I think, 3 inches longer overall than the TD. I believe the Fusseneggers stretched the hood a little in order to get a better fit of the body over the VW donor: it lets the BCW’s full length grill sit in front of the front axle beam and allows the rear torsion bar to tuck behind the front of the rear fenders. (Of…[Read more]

Very cool scene!

Interesting paint and body work on that ’53.
edward ericson replied to the topic Northern VA/DC/MD Carlisle Caravan 2016 in the forum Clubs and Show 9 years, 5 months ago

You are a hero, Jack. Thanks for stepping up!
edward ericson replied to the topic Windwing Hardware in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 5 months ago

I think the P-1800-engined TD is kind of the best of both worlds. Authentic steel over ash body and 100 horsepower, but with proper dual-SU carburation.

Of course, I don’t have to maintain it….

Sweet ride. Love the wheels.
edward ericson replied to the topic Garage improvements in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 5 months ago

So there’s a date on the table. Paul is out. Vicenc is in. Anyone else?

Anyone have a date they’d like to try?
edward ericson replied to the topic Garage improvements in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 5 months ago

I folded the windshield and now I can walk under her.

Perfect.
edward ericson replied to the topic Modifying Gauges in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 5 months ago

I think that speedo might be from a Triumph TR2.
edward ericson replied to the topic Windwing Hardware in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 5 months ago

Original TD steering wheel! 🙂
