Fun all the time..
We
arrived Tuesday, did the fun rally Wednesday and Thursday I spent in the
parking garage..
This
is the culprit! That (hard to see in this picture) u-joint must be exercised,
no, maybe it's exorcised…
Luckily there was a friendly garage around the corner that installed the
u-joint rather reasonably while we went to $3 Dewey's for lunch! Best lobster
roll and beer on the whole trip!
U-joints
always go bad at the wrong time… Little did I know (actually I did) the outer
flange was bent also.
Vern
doing a mighty fine impression of Andy.
I've
got one of these…, er, two, er
three, er four, er….
Fueling
up for the tour to
We
stopped along the way at the
Carol's
favorite trolley is from
Lobsta festa..
Vern
Brannon (VTR VP) getting ready to return to battle!
Jean
Brannon (2nd from left) was victorious, having practiced earlier in the week!
"I don't need no stinking bib!"
VTR
President Andy Mace having a great time! Carol Lancaster, having been doused
with lobster juice during Vern's earlier battle with his lobster, presses on
gingerly, cognizant of what damage these dead critters are capable of..
Helen
and Henry Frye are looking forward to the Ice Cream stop later..
The
Lighthouse?
Is there a lighthouse? Carol and the Spitfire front and center!
Another
slightly different shot…
Helen
and Henry in their awe inspiring TR3(a?).
Oops, almost totally missed this shot. The
cloud at the right of the picture is soot that was bellowing out the exhaust.
There were also flames, which don't show here. A fate caused by the 5MPH parade
over to the park. I almost suffered the same indignity, but decided on the way
to bolt past the pace-police car and headed to the park at a more reasonable (well
into the double digits) pace, leaving my own cloud of black smoke in the
process.
We're off then, to the show field!
Ken
Slagle's old TR8 race car, now almost totally restored and Vern's toy. I want a
TR8!
Triple
Strombergs!
Carol's
favorite! Andy has one of these, too!
Peachy
clean!
I
wasn't the only one with axle problems I guess…
Best
of show??
Staggering!
What's
this? A MGB V-8? I thought this was a Triumph show?
Let
go, Andy! Your (2) wheels are in the background!
Banquet..
I had
a great time reminiscing with Mike Cook, his wife Carol and daughter Jennifer.
