Nice foot prints and great backdrop. What size shoes again I think you are warmer there than
Southern AZ is ....

I drove to Mt Wilson today, taking in the nice weather and getting away from all the craziness down in town.

Finally brought out my '66 KA24DE roadster for the first time in years.

At speed on the highway..



Attended the Mayday Japanese Nostalgic Car Meet.



Meet was PACKED with JNCs! There were a few roadsters in attendance.



My 66 KA243DE, and behind it a new arrival to Houston, a 67 1600, with nice U20 swap.













And the Siegal's old 67 1600 (Not sure who the current owners are..)





Then, on Sunday temps where in the low 70's, so took the '66 out for a few more drives...

Stop to Starbucks:



And.. whether was looking a little overcast later in the day. So, at lunch time, headed to the local pub to watch the Texan/Colts game, and parked the roadster under cover:

She is a beauty Dan!

Dan,

A fine choice of wheels with your silver car. Wishing I could see your center caps head on.

The wheels are actual Australian made Superlite rims, originally purchased from VTO about 10 years ago.







And...Here are a few more photos captured at the meet by the pros...Houston Streets (Alex Ventura)

Who is the "old lady"?
Especially like the look of the red lug nuts with the black wheels. A nice touch

thanks guys ... glad you guys like "approve" the new setup

Last 2015 drive for me. 12-30-15.
A rare Sunny Winter day so did get in one last short 42 mile drive. A light dusting of snow on the Cascade Mt Foothills.
We in the PNW do not take our sunny days for granted , unlike those spoiled SOCAL folks who can drive in comfort year round.
Low 40's. Not too cold and no need for a 12V blanket like my wimpy SOCAL friend, "if its below 65, it is COLD", Linda.

Ted.

Give us heat, Santa Ana winds, fires, earthquakes, drought, gangbangers, riots, gridlock, high gas prices, Rodney King, OJ Simpson, and the Kardashians----- we can handle it all, but don't let it be cold!

Nice drive in the San Gabriels.. It was in the high 20s when I headed down the hills..



Pro tip: Toyo R888 are awesome snow tires.. Assuming you want to slide around a bit..lol

Nice pic Mike. Good one for the Holiday/winter thread.
You must be a Viking .........
