Wow, watched the whole drive. Victor was there right along with you, and us. You nailed it, gotta drive the cars, that's where it's at. Well done. Happy birthday Victor. I didn’t know you, even called you Larry (so sorry, thanks Alvin), but my thoughts are right, and this post really did bring tears to my eyes.

Thanks Ron, many fond memories and reminders that I get when both working in the garage and hammering the backroads.

That I do, we got to use Victor's First Aid kit on my noggin, and the windshield chrome surround still has the marks from barbed wire strand #3.
(#2 was slightly below the headlites)
That was also the "Benz Gullwing takes flight" run, and a single day that we counted 31 cattle crossing prevention grates. (now why does that stick in my mind?)
