Distelfink, they are the birds you see on Amish hex signs. Just a little trivia for you guy'. later shawn
Big Olds electrical gemlins are at bay...headlights now working thanks to my hero Scott AKA Ralfs56. I don't have to duck tape flashlights to my fenders now. See you folks tomorrow.
I can hardly wait till saturday, I will be heading up friday night in my 55 crown vic. Kenny i'll see ya there.
I'm leavin Roanoke VA in the morning coming up 81. Be there when I get there. You know how these old cars are.
I wonder how many times we drove around the Tropical Treat as teenagers, it was lots !! One can no longer drive the whole way around the "Treat" - used to be from the Treat to the Hanover Diner and back over and over again, of course gas was only 27 cents a gallon back then. We are already in PA and I'm spending the day with my mother tomorrow in the Caddy, I think we will have lunch at the Treat or at least take the Caddy out there for an ice cream cone.
The diner is long gone, it was tore down last year. The Victory has the best food around, IMO. The only thing the showdown needs is someone selling some good BBQ. Pulled pork with coleslaw anyone?
If you see any rods off the side of any roads pull over to help if any of you have CB's in car put on channel 13 for help, p*** the word around. I always have lots of tools and a small floor jack with me. I 'm heading up the PA turnpike around 6:30 Sat.
Old half mile dirt track at Latimore Pa. near Gettysburg on Rt.15 you can take your rod out on the track for a few laps there are metal crafters there and a flea market. Even if you can't get into infield to park ther is plenty of space outside and also there is a museum with old race cars on the grounds. Come on up your not that far away.
