Hey Ernie. Still out there? Guess what? SCCA is having their national convention in Elkhart Lake in Wisconsin this week, and they had a cruise through town on the old race route from before they built the track, and had a big car show after, downtown. I went up and happened to meet your friends from Honolulu that are the original owners of an original slab side 427. As you know they are very rare. I think only 2 or 3 left in the world.
Anyway, they shipped the car to California, and drove the 2,000 miles or so to Wisconsin to attend the show in Wisconsin. I guess they do this every year. This has been a very cold spring, and they drive the northern route the whole way, with no heater! Missed a highway closing blizzard in Wyoming by 1 day.
Just imagine what I loser I Felt like, when I decided it was too cold to take my Excalibur the 40 miles up there and drove my Phaeton instead! Ouch!
My excuse is, the header gasget is leaking again, and I get fumes with the top on. But still, I could have put a snowmobile own and braved it out. What shame!!
I heard you moved to Oregon. What’s up? First you sell your favorite car twice, and then you move from Hawaii to Oregon? Do you have commitment problems?
