Great pic.And sounds like she’s a keeper MGLondonR. She understands!!

Kent, no. You’ll have no trouble reserving a camping spot on the grounds. It will be one of teh options when you register your car for the show.

The first time I ever drove my Duchess, it snowed!

And I love when Ed is happy! It’s what we all live for!Glad to see forum members meeting in person! That’s what this is all about!

And there, Ed sums it up.Burns from a cleaning solvent? Eh.Polaroids/memory loss and other age related stuff? Eh.The car is ok? PRICELESS!

Al….that’s awesome. Wish I had the time to do that. I’m coming home Saturday March 21. Way to little time in Oz. But I needed to save vacation days for other stuff this year.

Rick, you didn’t really “get rid” of a voltage regulator. Alternators typically have the voltage regulator built into the alternator housing.
