    The H to H was smaller than it's been in the last few years, so it was easy to cruise through quickly. So I was able to check out the smaller Fall Festival Art/Wine/Car show.

    Everytime I see one of those old Falcons, I think about vacumn wipers and how they slow down when revving the engine. Now that I have my Willys pickup, I have them.:lol3

    We had a black MGA with spoke wheels and knock offs.

    I saw a Chrysler wagon w/ fake knock offs today, stupidest thing I looked at today.

    You can always get one of those combo fuel pump/vacuum pumps to help with those issues.

    Happy New Year! Finally got around to posting my video of getting my Rover running after sitting 4 years. Those terrible jet valve diaphrams hate the new fuel and I've replaced 4 of them on this car since I've owned this car.

    I had this EXACT car in this EXACT color. Set of Cragars on it, 4 speed....slicks. Badass! Burned to the ground when I was 19. :cry

    It still remains one of my favorite looking cars....great lines.

    Yesterday was Woodies On The Wharf!:clap As usual, wish I took more pictures and had a better camera. My old Nikon P1 broke, so I borrowed an even older camera. Even another inmate was there somewhere.
