Congrats, Simon. :smt023
Must have been a hot drive, but glad you made it back. Bring it to Supercar next week :)

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

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.

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 :oops: this ol trailer has seen its share of abuse. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Oregon, Canada.
Afraid of falling through the floor soon :shock:
Might be time to upgrade, you know, electric awning, push button hot water, led lighting...

Simon, it looks like you flipped for the Roadster. The 5 point harness was a good investment in that case.

He really did save the day by charging that battery with his generator.
