Thanks Dano. Just a cell pic taken in a park in the local Santa Monica mountains. A nice route for those going to Solvang from LA:

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

Heard a rumor that Linda will actually REGISTER for Solvang and show up DRIVING her repaired roadster. :shock:
We'll see Ted. I don't have a pit crew, like you, to take care of all my Roadster maintainence, so I stumble along :?
Did take it out recently:

Otherwise I may have to take a flight up there and drive one of your cars down. I'll take the Turbo please. :D Will keep it under 100...... :wink:

Linda, you're not going to take 'Ted the Retired' and self appointed gas cap police seriously are you? Mr. Free Time himself. In a few months I will be retired so I too can be Mr. Free Time. Well free except for teaching, making harnesses, going back to college, finally get serious about the restoration and travel.
66 stroker, almost done.
67 basket case, paint coming soon.

SPRING Time in the PNW!
A short test drive to check maintenance and improvements on the 68 SR20.
It is ready for the 2016 driving season.

^Ted, looking pretty!

On Sunday I stopped to take some pics with some blossoms. A father and son approached me in the lot and they were both car nuts! The son has a Saab 96 and Bel-Air wagon while the Dad has a T-bird...good times. The son sent me a few of his own shots:
