And beside that Thomas, as I recall that was just on the driveway to the farm.

We do not want to over state the speed Thomas, the gear chart said 173 MPH. The lack of a rear plate is due to it falling off going through the empty roads in the vast corn fields around there.

The one seen at the Rockstore was probably a Xanthos, which is a copy of a Lotus 23. They look very much like a Lotus 19. but are a bit smaller and have a more modern rear suspension. There was a guy in San Diego importing them a few years ago. This Lotus 19 has a 1960's aluminium Buick V-8...

To win in our type of cars requires a bit more accuracy than can be achieved that way. If you touch the jack stand or move the car all the your measurements change. The string bars are bolted to the chassis and move with it.

Thanks Thomas, I always set the toe with string bars. It is the most consistent and accurate way for me. You just have to make sure the strings are absolutely parallel to each other when you make the bars. Missed you two at the 90th! Those pix bring back memories. Should we discuss driving...

I notice now that Lou is in town Thomas does not have time to post anything. Something about spending all their spare time at the Custard Cup!

How did I miss this? I am going to have to speak to Yolie about the proper notification. We miss you and hope to see you two sometime this year. Congrats!

I didn't know that anything that was greasy actually went into the solvent tank..........except when we were there!

Is the fireplace mantel finished yet? Santa is not going to be pleased if there is no place to hang the stockings!

Merry Christmas to All. Now get busy posting so we can see all that progress there!

Thomas, you should have time to post now that you and Lou aren't living at the Custard Cup!

Dang, Thomas, you better hurry up. We will be heading in that direction for the Indy Vintage race weekends the second and third weekend of June. I think the T-70 will light up the car port

Just don't get Lou tired out.I need him fresh and peppy for Lime Rock. P.S. The house looks great!

As Navy flight crew on a P-3 after one of those landings someone would grab the first aid kit, run to the cockpit and ask "anyone hurt up here?"

Trust you to get a pix of our best sides, while you get to drive!
