Familiar car, familiar name, new location
Hello roadster people. Proud new owner of a '68 2000 generously donated by my father. (Thanks again dad) After an epic adventure to Shasta from Vancouver, meeting a slurry of amazing people along the way the car and I safely, without any incident made it back to its new home of Edmonton, AB.
Hi, I'm Trevor and I'm a roadster nut in training.

Re: Familiar car, familiar name, new location
Woo hoo my friend! So glad to see you here! For those of you who don't know, Trevor and I were co-travelers to Shasta and had a great time together.
Your father has indeed blessed you with a mighty machine. Carl and I had many high speed, ear to ear grin generating road excursions with our two cars, and now he is passing that legacy on to you. I know you will respect the machine and take good care of her. You are a long ways away (it was what, another 12 hrs home for you AFTER driving back to BC from Shasta, right?!), but I hope to see you again in the silver sled. I'm not exactly sure who may be close by, but there is a lot of Roadster folks who may be within striking distance for some fun runs or whatever.
Keep in touch here!

Re: Familiar car, familiar name, new location
Hey Greg! Yeah the trek from Vancouver to Edmonton was pretty good too. Didn't wanna stop driving. But I take it out every opportunity I get here. Was thinking of possibly comming down for Shedd BBQ but we'll see if work and life permits it. I only have a few more weeks of fair weather here anyways :/ I tried to throw some photos up from my Iphone but I will have to try from the laptop once I get home. Thanks for the warm welcome look forward to trolling these forums and soaking up some if the knowledge floating around here.
