Sadly-Linda has passed away 2022. She was the 311's den mother and drove the first Rare-Parts ball joint project. RIP.

Thank you. Very much!! I am going to be on pins and needles for a while but it all seems good to go.

As for the roads, that shot was just down the road from here and the rest of southern WI is not too shabby, especially the closer we get to the Mississippi River. Once I figure out where I want to mount my GoPro I will share some of our favorites out there.

Thanks again!

I used to live in Madison/Verona, so I have enjoyed quite a few of the area roads - it a beautiful part of the country for Roadsters! (at least at this time of year)

Don't they have any pro shooters up there on a popular road who can shoot the kind of action/motion shots that the Mulholland shooters in So Cal do? I'd really like to see that type of shot for those beautiful cars up there. I like the You Tube videos but the action shots are so special. Everybody looks good in those. :)

Maybe someone can set up and try to capture some pics....perhaps best on a slow20-30MPH turn initially.
Let's make it "Action Shot Weekend" next weekend, send in your pics!

I DROVE my 1965 SPL310 to work today with it newly installed R16 engine. Have an exhaust leak at the exhaust flange coupling and a couple of other minor tweaks, but she is once again mobile.

Hmm yes, well I'd like to buy more shots, but it does show I drive it rather than just going to the Home Depot and parking....Not my kind of calendar shot.
We like Fun Runs, down here, not just Fun Parks. :roll:
