it looks like I'm gonna be a very infrequent visitor here. 

No; that's just not acceptable - you'll need to reflect, and reshuffle your priorities.  ;)

Any suggestions?  I bought a pressure washer yesterday.  The plan is to take the race car outta the garage outta the garage and clean it thoroughly underneath.  Then the Camaro comes into the garage for a day and a half of work before a car show on Saturday.  Then I have 10 days until the Rat Fink Reunion...and I may have to hot-foot it to Ohio (from Utah) for the Target 550 streamliner testing...unless that gets put off for a month.

Then a little more work on the Camaro and in August, it's Speed Week on the salt...which starts a 3 month thrash.

If ya wanna come out and help a bit, yer more than welcome.  I can go buy another box of Cheerios.  :)



I'm a Raisin Bran man! If I could pull myself out of this rat race and work on cars and spend time with car guys, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Let's see - the Powerball is over $600 million...

Note to Otto:  Go buy tickets.  After pickin up yer winnings, head south on I-95, then hang a right onto I-80.  Keep headin west until yer about 120 miles from the salt flats.  I'm the guy with all the red cars in his driveway.  Ya cain't miss it.  LOL!

With just one week to go until the 20th Anniversary Goodwood Festival of Speed gets underway, things are now getting extremely busy for me putting the finishing touches to the event, so few or no answers from me for the next 10 days or so. 

For any AP puzzlers coming to Goodwood, we have the best Festival car selection yet, with everything from the Phantom Corsair to Loeb's Pikes Peak Peugeot 208 T16.  Perhaps see you here; I'll be the one rushing around like a headless chicken trying to keep 800 press happy! 8)

I'm about to embark on a sponsored cycle ride from Land's End to John o'Groats - 1000 miles. As you might imagine, I'll be absent for some time (probably 2 weeks ish)

I will be in Leicester between 30 September and 2 October, then I will be in London on the 3rd and 4th of October. I'll have very infrequent access to net. Anyone want to meet up in London?

London is quite far.
Enjoy your visit.

Hmmm...I've spent a long time at Lands End this year checking the water level.  Might be a different Lands End, tho:



That one's at the end of the road heading toward the salt flats.  My granddaughter is piloting the vessel on the way to the starting line.

Well, not really.  She was just part of a gag that I set up for some other folks.  But 3 out of the 5 events (and 3 of the 4 I attend) this year have been rained out.  I've spent a lotta time driving between the Salt Lake City area and the salt to check conditions and post photos on another firum...it didn't help, tho.  Yesterday we found that the FIA portion of the final event has been canceled and the FIM part might be called off today. 

It's been a brutal year, although I've had the chance to squeeze a lotta car shows and cruise nites in:

It looks like I might be able to stop the phone calls and email questions from those who can't read what I've just posted...you get the picture...and spend some time here...at least until I get the race car back into the garage and start the body and paint work.

It's gonna take me a while to catch up tho.  I'll be in and out when I can.  I look forward to reading posts from old (and new) friends.

I'm not going to be around much over the Festive season, so slow or no answers from me for a short while.  Happy Holidays to all of you, and here's to a great 2014.  :D
