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 Cool

Funny how good a little drive can feel

My ‘63s been on the backburner for a couple of months and there’s a few outstanding jobs to sort on it but the other day I had to move it out of the garage and I ended up doing the exact same thing.

Was pretty good fun…

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!

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...

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...

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 Tongue

That's true, I did!  Such a cool engine.  Glad to hear you got the 'vert out.
