LOVE IT!!!

Roddin' is Religion ;-)

 

Snow flakes made an appearance yesterday, so it's time for Snoopy to head to his winter "berth", had to top up with premium fuel, stabilizer & marvel mystery oil first

 

Snoopy, see ya in the spring! Send some of that Esso down, would ya?

 

Yep...only a few daze left here in WNY. Lucky e-free 3/4mi away.

 

I heard your guy’s weather to a turn yesterday. No more warm fall. I feel your pain, my coupes freshly done and I get to sit and stare at it for 6 months now!!! Oh well looks like your leafs are gonna be fun to watch this year so I don’t feel too sorry for u! Ha ha

My niece just got her full licence & knows how to drive stick shift... and Snoopy had its final leg of the journey to its winter home yet to make...add one really nice Uncle & here we are ;-)

 

that is just too cool!

 

Awesome!

 

Agreed!!!

 

Good job, Uncle Jer!
I got my interest in things mechanical from a couple of uncles. I'm still planning on getting my coupe out some more. But, It's stored here.

 

best picture on the HAMB today....

 

Tell the truth though... u were paranoid the whole time weren’t u?? I just let the wife drive the coupe around the cul de sac when we took it for the first spin and I peed my pants a little! Ha ha

Ha ha honestly I wasn't very nervous, she is a pretty conscious driver & followed my "notes" on how to operate an old car like Snoopy except for Snoopy not liking to idle in the cold temps it was a great drive !

 

there is no way I could park mine all winter. I just want to drive it every day. I will avoid salt, but I gotta drive it. ..... and fix my heater, I think it's plumbed wrong on the engine, as it won't self-bleed. It was a bit chilly today, some door drafts and no heat. But I still loved driving it.

 

It's kind of hard to do that here. A picture from last February looking down my street. Jer only live an hour east of me.

 

Awww thanks, yep one happy girl - this was the smile she had as she was ready to pull away while her 14 year old brother & his friends watched... might be a bit of jealousy in that house tonight lol

 

I don't whether you're a good or bad Uncle, but I do know that your Niece will never be the same! Way to go, Uncle Jerry.

 

At some point when she gets good at knowing that car, let her take out with another girl. Just imagine all the guys passing by in their modern boring cars and trucks, checking out TWO Hot Rod girls out cruising.

I did that decades ago when I took a black tri-power 4 speed 56 Bel Air hardtop on vacation to the ocean....there was NO hesitation when I told them "go take it for a ride". The girls were gone a LONG time, and seemed "pretty darn smiley" ....when they finally got back.

What is the deal with the price sign? Is $1.51 9 price per liter ?

 

Sadly yes it is... so 3.78 litres per US gallon = $5.72 a gallon (Can funds), with exchange about $4.46 US dollars per gallon..

 

OUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Welcome to Canada! You gotta pay for awesomeness... [emoji38]

7 months later & Snoopy is out of hibernation for the 2019 Season, was a bad winter & so far deplorable spring, but it was nice yesterday so out he came !

 

Looking good

 

Thanks ! I loved the hour long drive home, sun was low & had a nice shadow of the car following along

 

@Denns1989, Ole Snoops looks and Sounds Happy Now...

They like to stretch out the legs after a hibernation don't they...I just cleaned up the Ole Hotrod quite thoroughly myself for a first out last Sunday. Started it up and stuff was splashing onto the Nice Clean firewall & windshield in the garage...shut it down right away turned out to be Gas......one clamp needed a slight tighten...man that was a fair amount of fuel...yipes.

Have Fun...here comes the goodtimes Again...Yippee!!
