Title: Cool drive... Post by: lowfastbus on May 22, 2008, 20:58:27 pm I was arranging my workshop this evening and had to put my '67 outside.
Instead off putting it back in when finished I decided to go for a quick drive, hadn't been out for over a month now. Just a ten minute drive but taking it through all it gears at 7000+ rpm sure felt good 8) Funny how good a little drive can feel Title: Re: Cool drive...

Was pretty good fun… :D (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/SanchoPancho/General/FDG2657.jpg) Title: Re: Cool drive... Post by: Luftkraft on May 23, 2008, 12:57:34 pm great pic, Mat! 8)
Title: Re: Cool drive... Post by: javabug on May 23, 2008, 13:00:45 pm I can totally relate...I haven't even seen my Bug since February. I know when it does come back to the house the same thing will happen!
Altho I do tend to rely on the kindess of friends and neighbors during withdrawl sometimes. Couple weeks ago I was visiting with Mike Maize, and we went and drug his 'vert out of storage and had a mini "California day." That kind of stuff helps a lot! Title: Re: Cool drive... Post by: ESH on May 23, 2008, 13:51:06 pm great pic, Mat! 8) Thanks! I parked it there to remind me to get things sorted so I can get out in it and drive it again. I figure if I see it sat there it'll help move things along. I think it's working... :) Title: Re: Cool drive...

That was pretty much my situation, I sent the car off somewhere in late January or February while we got things straight at home and only got it back a couple of weeks back. Still stuff to do but the car's on the priority list now whereas a month or so back it wasn't even a factor. With the winter being pretty quiet over here car wise it wasn't such a big thing but it's effectively the Summer now so it's play time...:) Title: Re: Cool drive...

Dont forget you got to drive a SPG roller stroker with old solex carbs on Gene's manifolds too! Not to shabby for a cruising day. That was a really fun day. Rain finally stopped and I was out buzzing around in the convertible last night :PAltho I do tend to rely on the kindess of friends and neighbors during withdrawl sometimes.
