20,000 miles turned over today

I know it's no big deal for some, but I went for a nice ride today and turned over 20K. Of course, since I trailered(pulled?) it to Carlisle 3 times, the engine only has 17,500 on it, but the chassis has 20K.

56 degrees fahrenheit, sunny, and calm. Took a spin out to breakfast, then up and over my usual mountain run. Sweet ride, great day.

Whoa! I've got a ways to go. I better get on it!

That reminds me that I have to undo the speedo cable when I'm towing. I put 500 on Blackie this summer without realizing it.

Danny - life is good!

Sweet! Mine turned over 40,000 km last weekend. If I converted correctly, that's 24,800 miles.

If my chassis could talk, it might tell me how many miles it had on it BEFORE it arrived at Kasa de Klipfel. I'm not sure I want to know.

Haha, WB! You just reminded me of the trip out to Merklin's and Randy for the paint. Do I have to add another 560 miles? No speedo in the car at that point, but you're right, we are really only concerned about engine miles, right?

Filled up the tank at the end of the day, and took it for another ten minutes loaded up with 2 ounces of Marine Stabil, then put it away. I may get a couple more runs in, tomorrow and maybe Election Day, as I have for the past 5 years. That is usually one of my last runs if not the last until spring. Scheduled to be mid-fifties and sunny, and I am off work, it's a holiday at my job. Get out and VOTE!

Congrats on the milestone! Lots of smiles in those miles.......

My old 1984 IM only had 26,000 miles on the odometer.
1000 miles for every year.
My rebuilt IM's speedo will read 00000

Outstanding, Danny!
We'll expect more per annum, what with that heater and roof.
Great to see it being driven so much!

"That is usually one of my last runs if not the last until spring. "

Well, you could send it down here, I would take good care of it and "exercise" it regularly so you wouldn't have any problems come April or so......

I'm jus' sayin.........

That Gordon is such a generous guy! 8-)

Y es Muy Guapo, tambien, de veras?

Congrat's Danny.
It's great to log a ton of fun miles in one of these cars. I just glanced at the IM-6 Roadster yesterday and noticed when I tucked it away for the season the odo read exactly 29,000 miles. That's 3 years of a lot of fun driving.
Here's to all in SOC land who love to pile on the miles behind the wheel of their replica!

Rick, glad to see that you are putting some smiles,er,miles on that IM!

I did drive it yesterday, had a nice hike also up in the local mountains.

Gordon, thanks for the offer! I have driven it in January though, it was 68 degrees one time with dry roads!
