    My buddy Mike brought the roadster down to Florida from Michigan with 2 other cars, we picked it up this morning at Salt Works Fabrication. Good to have it here in the Sunshine State, cured my separation anxiety. :rolleyes: I've got a couple little issues to deal with, it stumbles for some reason at part throttle (too lean?) and a bolt dropped out of the exhaust manifold flange on the right side, but non the worse for wear otherwise. 226E195E-0BC9-416C-B0EC-703FBA893440.jpeg 4F3224EC-F6A7-42B6-A969-CB397E12D0DC.jpeg

    I didn't have time to get it dialed in before we left, and there are some things it needed done that I couldn't do with recovering from my hip replacement. So the roadster got the nod. We're leaving it here for the summer and see how that works our.

    Brave man! :)
    Timings everything. Decided to let my RV down here last year and you know that wasn’t good timing….RV got totaled last month, we bought a permanent down here. Got bless State Farm…paid me 10 grand over my new cost four years ago. Sold the truck that hauls it and bought one thats a permanent.

    Glad it worked out OK for you. We have friends who's 5th wheel was blown on it's side last year in a park down here (in whatever hurricane that was), they had a new one in its place when they got down.
