No, I was committed to the gathering of the faithful since last year. I had hoped to drive to CT and catch the party Saturday night and get in half of the ride on Sunday. When I saw the weather for Sunday, I decided it didn't make sense. I was on my feet from 6:30 until 3:30 at the gathering, so I was glad I was going home instead. Good thing too, it snowed on most of the roads I would have been drving home on Sunday.
Theres a thread on it with tons of pics. Just go to my profile and find threads i started, its labeled "31 coupe pics".
No, centred above the rails, more like this: 8-litre Bentley, or this (with a crossbar): Cadillac V16; or this: Minerva. Or, an elaboration with curiously archaic Y-shaped stanchions, and an embellished connecting element: Isotta-Fraschini.
