    But, it's November, it's cold, there's 4 inches of snow, the roads are wet, the deer are moving, and blah, blah, blah. Taken yesterday, after a trip to the parts store for some stuff for the "Great White" Jimmy Big Dually project.

    I'll admit the car is tucked away now, but it WAS a nice day for a drive in the Roadster!

    I guess that means that the e-bay sale did not pan out ?
     

  5. No snow here, and it was warm today. I did start it, and drive it out of the shop, while I worked on another car.

    I have no excuse. It's running good. The weather is good. It needs a drive and I do too. Maybe tomorrow.

    I went to the Cruisin for Kidz Car Show & Toy / Food Drive, great show lots of toys collected. After the show we got a police escort from The Savin Rock Roasting Co., Stratford Ct. to Goodies (hot dog joint) Milford Ct.The show was sponsored by Cruising East C.C....
    It is one of my favorite show.

    Took my '29 roadster out for a brisk drive on Saturday, after more than a week of not driving it due to driveway repairs. 50 some degrees and sunny here in Pa. that day.

    There is nothing like a roadster! :D Every time I think about selling mine, I change my mind after a drive. If I had to have one hot rod, it would have to be a roadster.

    Drove mine yesterday very early. Suppose to be doing bath remodel at home but knee is bothering me. I don't need a good knee to drive the roadster. :)
    Clear and about 48 degrees. That's cold for us left coasters.

    My dad showed up at my shop in his Model A roadster a few hours ago. Its a very pleasant november day for Indiana. He said it was probably the last nice day for the year he could drive it, but he high-tailed it for home when it started to thunder!

    Put about 160 miles on some two-lane country roads yesterday. Nice 50 degree day on the way out -- low 40's on the way home though. Not too bad. It's been in the 30's on the way to work in the roadster lately.
