Title: Sluggish off the Line -- Lack of Driving?
Post by: J. Huber on January 11, 2005, 14:48:54

Me not the Car! [:p] This cruddy weather in California is cramping my style... I can usually get in a Pagoda drive every once in a while to keep me sane -- can somebody in Florida or Hawaii please take a ride for me? Thanks.

James!
Come to Scotland right now (Tuesday Night) we have 70 - 100mph gusts and gales, with occasional rain showers and snow over the hills!

Aye It's alittle breezy tonight

I am driving pretty much daily here in Houston, actually warm enough to have the top down during the day.  Susposed to get cold again this weekend, probably your bad weather heading this way.

James,

I'd love to take a drive for you as the weather has dried up (finaly}
however I have the rear end on my bench as we speak (40 years of abuse).  should go back in this weekend along with some new floors and rocker panels.  Maybe in a few weeks I'll take that drive for you.
Aloha, 8)
