I wanted to share a few details so things can go smoothly tomorrow morning. - Please plan to arrive at 9:00 AM to Eastwood Elementary School (3305 South Wasatch Blvd). *Drivers must pull into the parking lot on northside of the school.* (It looks small, but there is plenty of parking around the backside of the school). No parking is allowed on Wasatch Blvd. Millcreek City has asked us to keep that clear of traffic. - We will have a registration card for each driver. The registration card serves two purposes: Identifies the driver and car make/model for our Facebook Live broadcast and also allows you to be eligible for prizes from the online voting of residents. - We will supply a map, step by step directions, and numbers to tape on your car windows that morning. - As cars start to leave the parking lot, there will be a sign that says "stop here." Please pause at the sign for a few seconds so we can get a good visual of your car and mention your name online. - Millcreek City has asked that no candy, fliers, or other items be passed to residents along the route. - Cars start rolling at 10:00 AM sharp! If you have any additional questions, please let me know! See you tomorrow! Nicole Handy Venture Out! 801-389-5084 -- Thank you -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Yep, when Mike Bailey decided he'd had enough and retired, moving up to Klamath Falls that was pretty much the end of general British car specialty shops in Utah.? Bill Davis and his Rovers are still around, I think, haven't talked to him for a while, though I drive by the place on 17th South on my way to and from my job at the Union Pacific Roper Yard. There is certainly still a need for experienced LBC techs in the area.? Almost makes me think renting a small shop somewhere and doing part time work on these might be worth my while. mjb.

Only failed once in about 7 years of running TR-s back then. However, I forgot about that ......and on my way back from the VTR convention in Breckenridge, CO back a few years ago...my TR-3A just quit running around Center Colorado. I stupidly spent hours on the side of the road before it dawned on me that the connector on the end of that stupid pigtail had failed. I just put a new connector on and a miracle happened!!!! That was back in 2014 and the car made it all the way home to New Mexico and still has my "fix" installed and has not failed again. Hope that you are staying safe up there in the land of Zion.
