I've also gotten in a few good runs in the last couple of weeks. Last Saturday
I did a L.I. to
DE to L.I. run in the BGT. Just yesterday I did L.I. to Oneonta, NY to L.I. in
the 75 B
roadster. Not only were these both 360 runs in terms of going there and back
but they were both
360 miles. The DE run returned w/ a refreshed short block for Adam's 72 B
Roadster and the
Oneonta run returned w/ Adam, now home for ten days on Spring Break.
It's now 9 A.M. in NY and the sun is shining so I'm out to the driveway to try
and make room for
a new arrival coming in on Thurs. I'll tell you all about it once it arrives.
Safety fast,
