Hello spridgets,
got back from the Seattle ABFM ..
the weather was perfect, unlike last year which, tho no rain was
waaaay too hot... this year .. just about right. over 600 cars
including just FOUR sprites, .. two BE's and two SWA's, a very nice
powder blue '62 and my "red thing".... prizes always go the BE's,
and, as in Vancouver (BC) i finished 4th of four. going up i got
about 30 mpg, (driving at about 65 mph with bursts over 70 and
driving all about Seattle... coming home i had it nailed at 60 mph
all the way and got 36 mpg. car performed flawlessly.. .. i also am
to be the recipient of new horn push (mine is "hazy" but otherwise
in good shape) .. a guy has had one in his cupboard for 30 years and
decided to part with it... he wanted $5 so i counter offered $10 and
paid sight unseen.... also met some (i believe) new recruits for "
the list's " particular form of punishement, enlightment,
addiction... a great trip overall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
