Ok you lot... You are not going to believe me, but, one of our local"Peace officers" is Called Constable Friend.. And the other one( who has brought my dog home a couple of times) is Constable WUFF.. I mean,, come on, you just have to wind them up a bit. Gives the locals something to talk about.

 

Gave "Her Madge" a polish tonight, she is ready for a winter blat this weekend. Got my winter woollies ready. Lets make the Mounties run a bit. :cooldude::driving:

Last drive of the year I think. 70 degree day. Tomorrow is a long string of 40s with snow.

 

I decided to drive the 100 mile stretch around the lake. It was an awesome drive with some great scenes on the back roads. 100 yards from home, a neighbor's dog ran out and hit my car right by the exhaust collector (Yeah I dont know what his plans were, but he's lucky a 7 stops as fast as it does-- that back wheel sticking out would go right over him if I were moving). So it was almost event-free. I did the final for-storage wash and bug removal. The fuel is stabilized. In spring it gets a Limited Slip and correct rear springs and a few other improvements. Till then I guess I'll have to get used to my 'regular' car.

That's as pretty of a contrasting color choice and design I think I've ever seen, especially on a Seven! Beautiful......do you have any more photos you can post, like maybe a walk-around showing the rear end treatment? We seem to have similar tastes.

Had my last blat of the year on Wednesday. Temps were high 50s. Winter finally arrived on Thursday with 6" of snow and temps in the single digits. More of the same today but the forecast is for mid 40s and sunny skies starting in a couple of days. More blatting ahead for the new year. Yea! :D

Well I got the 7 out today as it was clear blue skies and by noon the temp was up to just over 50 degrees here in Ventura, CA. and when for a nice drive and visited a number of my friends (yes I do have friends that will acknowledge me as a friend) and got the car ready for the New Years Day Run that the Vintage Motoring Forum dose every new year’s day. I will put some photos up tomorrow after the run for all of the folks that are snow bound or have put their car away for the winter. Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Turned out to be a nice day but it was cold this morning 39 degrees (yes I know that is not cold) when I left the house to head to the meeting point for the start of the drive with the Vintage Motoring Group.

I post up a link later when the others on the run post up their photos as we do have some folks that can really take some good photos.

In the last photo that I posted of the back of the Atom the 7 in front of it is Orange and yes Al it is now supporting an aero windshield and Morgan had a huge smile on his face when I said hello to him. He said that it sure dose make a big difference in how the car gets to speed and he likes it a lot.

The second photo is of a one of RR 1952 right hand drive roadster with a Carson top. So quiet when running that you had to listen hard to hear it running.....just beautiful....The gent behind the RR in the photo is the owners mechanic and chauffeur….must be nice.
