Thanks for the tips, guys! I will start looking into the Miata situation first and see where that leads. Will keep you in the loop.

Ed and Bill – Are you guys doing the rock star parking like we did last time? I will come up if you two are going to be there. If anyone hears from Royal or Happy Jack, please, let them know to contact me. If either one of them is coming, I will meet them in New Bern and convoy up from there.

From this thread it looks like Bill and Ed are going. Anyone else? How about Happy Jack and Roy? I would like to make plans to go but I’d like to know we have a contingent before I drive all the way up from Florida.

Hi David,
It has the fold down windscreens. At some point I would like to put a set of Brooklands behind the windscreen. More pics on the way after I wash and wax this weekend.

Great pics, Bill. And I enjoyed seeing Ed’s Bridget as well.

Glad to hear you and Jack are well. Charlene and I worried about y’all.

Would addressing the bearings or axle support bushing require removal of the tub?

Do I need an air supply for the air shocks?

Hi Kall,
Haven’t driven it enough since the list showed up to notice tire wear. I would suppose that eventually that would happen.

Hi Roy and Ed! Well, not good news. Removing the tub is way above my skill level. I might have to live with this for a while.

The replacement capacitor seems to have done the trick. Let’s hope it holds.
Here’s the next problem:
The car has been listing to port for a while. I put in coil-overs hoping that would fix the problem but now I have a higher car that lists to port. I also notice that the camber on the rear wheels is off. When you look at it from the rear it looks like this – / I
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Happy New Year to all.

Thanks all for the good adviced. Started with the cheap and simple, replacing the capacitor. Let’s see what happens next.

We made it through as well although Charlene, Lucifer and I evacuated to Louisiana on the 7th. We left the 560SL and the TDr in the garage under car covers, just in case, so the only fear I had was of flooding. No major damage to the house or cars when we got back yesterday and power was already back. All in all, it could have been much worse.
