Wow! That looks like a decent price on the “Snoopy hat.” And those split-lens “RAF style” googles are temptingly cheap.
Temptingly!But I am hereby recommending to all that, if you plan to actually wear the goggles while driving, spring for the genuine Halcyons. They are three times the price, yeah. But they actually fit comfortably. Bikers swear by… -

That Flat 4 is about the closest thing to an original TD wheel you can get without modding an original TD wheel.

wish I could make it up for that but I am slammed: neither the car, the garden, nor the 4-post lift is yet ready for action. All needs doin’, along with a dump run, an oil change on the truck and probably a half dozen other chores I can’t even remember right now. Dang!

They both are available more reasonably elsewhere.

I wear glasses all the time. Mine are not enough for me to avoid the sting of the wind when driving open. I may just have sensitive eyes though.
Steve: right: Proper RAF goggles and a righteous leather pilot’s helmet are the only way to fly. I might even buy a summer-weight one. -

I’m gonna try to make the meet. Right now I have a DR appt that ends at 11, so it might be a tight run out to Frederick…
As for Rt 15 eateries: sorry. -

Cool but remember this: if you drive around with the Brooklands screens as the only thing between you and the oncoming wind, you’ll probably want at least a pair of wrap-around glasses on your face as well. Every year I forget at least once and end up on the highway doing 50 with monster pain and squinting and then one eye closed and then the other.

Sounds exhausting to me. Glad you’re on the mend. I second your screening advice. Wife made me do it years ago. No problems found them but I guess I’ll get to do it again in a few years.

How old? And how old is the TD?

I am registrant #90.
I also have a “Camping” sticker in the name of “James Ericson.” I think I got someone else’s sticker once before as well. -

I like that A LOT. Well done.

Bunch of us have them. They’re a little spendy, but not so bad if you stay away from the Jaguar and Morgan-oriented sellers. And you can get away with just one.

No Wobby? That’s gonna leave a mark. Hope he comes back next year.
I like the idea of an outside thing, catered. -

Wow! That is wicked cool. I do think it’d look better with wire wheels though.

Hey guys, Cory is probably a no-go for the caravan but he asked me to show this drawing–it’s for the prize package, I think–and ask the group if we think the outlined MG ought to be colorized or not. He says he’ll do it with more precision for the final.
What do we think?

I emailed Cory

Bill: when Jack gets to Schu’s place with the tow rig, you pull the needles out of the valves of the tires of his tow vehicle. I’ll grab the igniter off his ignition system.
Nuff said. -

Def maybe. Will advise…Jack: drive her! She’ll do fine & we won’t leave you stranded
