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

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
Got up to do an early run of Encinal canyon road in malibu when i came across a car show and of course had to stop in. The Trancas Beach cars and coffee. This show was amazing. The collection of cars on display was astonishing. I also got to see one of my favorite one off custom manx buggies that i was drooling over about 10 years ago while reading about it in a car magazine. Had the opportunity to meet the owner who is an accomplished car designer for some big name manufacturers.
Leno came in his new Ford GT. I did approach Jay and pleaded a case to feature our beloved roadsters. He mentioned he had a 1600 and that "yeah yeah, we'll find one and put it on" LOL so there it is, its confirmed !
Here is the instagram link with other peoples photos of the event.

Got shot up on Mulholland while advertising the Shedd BBQ (hat). Perfect weather for a while anyway.

And what would Ted say about the transportation mode? ...pebbles wrote:Around Blue Lake Park.
What a great hauler you have there pebbles! Did you convert something to do the job or is it OEM?

When I bought this trailer, it was nicer than the house I lived in this ol trailer has seen its share of abuse. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, Canada.
Afraid of falling through the floor soon
Might be time to upgrade, you know, electric awning, push button hot water, led lighting...

Re: Where did you DRIVE this weekend? (Roadsters only!)
Simon, it looks like you flipped for the Roadster. The 5 point harness was a good investment in that case.
