Thanks Perry,
I can't wait to motor up to Whistler again, this time in "The English Patient" (it has after all, had a heart transplant).

Howdy Walt,
Do you know a guy that lived in Gig Harbor back in the late '80s that owned a '68 Shelby GT500? I lived in Bremerton and I talked to him several times about his car. Just thought I would ask.

M & M, I just saw you were trying to suck me in with the chevy in the ford conversation. I have finally seen the light, but I should reserve my comments for now as I owned a 1931 Ford Roadster street rod with a 350 chev in it in the not so distant past. I hope this will not tarnish your lofty thoughts of me.

Help the North
I am beginning to think that the "Bish ChevVirus" is spreading way to fast in the North! 
I am setting up a defense at the Columbia River!

Mike,
I'm pretty sure the Columbia starts in Canada, but we'll let you have the water anyway.
This is starting to sound like a HatFord and McChevy fued, I don't think anybody won?

Lofty thoughts?
Keith, I will overlook your comment for now. By the way, where in Gig Harbor did you say you lived? I think I will head over the bridge and do some traffic stops.
Your Buddy, Jake |

Jake, ol' Buddy,
I'm glad you still know how to make traffic stops. After a few years in the service of Pierce County I figured you spent most of your time "doing the Puyallup" for the extra check. I live down Hunt Street in Gig Harbor and drive a fast primer colored 289 like car with a Chev small block. Don't believe in them stop sign for rural towns. Just slows us down.
Come get me, copper.

Let's see some pics Walt. We need to be sure it's not a phantom. Hopefully the car is worthly of those George Hamilton loafers!

Neal...
I bought the car specifically to better match the "George Hamilton's Personal Assistant's Loafers".
Car is now undergoing a thorough mechanical checkup prior to being taken down to bare metal and painted. Pix will follow.
Speaking of "phantoms"... does the term "GT-40" resonate?
Walt

Walt, I'll try to keep this topic away from Crosley. He sneaks into my study from time to time and I catch him on the NW Cobra Club section, trolling for any mention of your name.
I actually put up the top today (a mini engineering project on the scale of the Brooklyn Bridge ) and drove to work on a cool, 30 degree morning. I turned on the heater, closed the windows on the side curtains, and...it was still damned cold!

Bob...
must be the 'Texan' in you talking... we drove Crosley over an eastern Oregon mountain pass in the snow and felt warm as toast. I guess it's just a matter of how one defines the concept "cold".
Good to hear from you.
Walt

Perhaps if I had dressed in something warmer than a sweater I would have been "toastier". It was a lot of fun--I've seen a hundred pictures of Cobras with the tops up in books, but "erecting" one added a new dimension to the hobby. It's fun driving along and looking out the side windows--they're kind of narrow and made me feel like I was peering out the gun slits in a WWI tank--
