And it's home!!
Scariest part was after. It was a full enclosed semi truck carrier and they backed it all the way down the road and then into a 4 lane road. he said there was no way to turn around.

My red 1960 MGA was a cop magnet, especially around the West Campus by UT.

Averaged 2 tickets a year with that thing. The coeds loved it though.

I hate to wonder what you were doing. The car only had about 100 hp.

We won a plaque. Which was pretty cool.*





*Even though we left before judging because we wanted to catch the game. Fewer than 30 cars showed up! Gotta be in it to win it! Also pays to be nice to the old guys at the registration table.

Stoked for you. 

Drive really fast and avoid the police.

I did yesterday.  With everything being rebuilt (engine, transmission, suspension) it is literally a "brand new" 63 year old sports car. Forgot that you can drive fast with top down when you have 105 HP pushing only 2000 pounds. Which is why the first Miata used the MGA as a model. As far as avoiding police - I have a "friendly" speedometer. We did not rebuild it and it seems to think 55 is 45.

My speedometer is the other way.  35 is really 45. This is better than it was and according to the tables I put the correct gear on the cable but I'll just keep driving by RPM and gear until I get new differential installed.

[mention=699]Chad Fuck[/mention] Where was this?  It's the kind of show I like going to but did not know about it.  I would have been at my son's soccer game anyway.

Warbirds and Wheels at Lancaster Airport. Always on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend. It’s lots of fun. Plenty of stuff for the kids. Just an off year because of a crazy storm passing through.

Just scroll up and see last years pics for a better idea of what it’s about when it’s better weather.
