Nice weather and more things to do when it's nice outside tend to mean less time at the computer. I have hundreds of unposted images but - it takes time to do, and I along with many others are likely doing other stuff. Come winter, things will likely pick up again.

 

I agree .I've been away a week and between June 29th and today there are only three pages. We are losing everyone.

 

Must have been a little scary to drive and race some of the vintage cars even thought they might not have gone real fast.
Steering and brakes left a lot to be desired for sure.

Just my opinion. Jimbo

MacTexas - thanks for the links, I really appreciated it

 

Either the app or my fone has gotten SO SLOW that it simply takes way to long to load the pics anymore. I know I don't check this thread near as often as I use to

Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!

 

OK,--I'll spice it up a bit by posting my recent ride in a WWII P-51 Mustang fighter plane on June 8,2014
