Hey Guys! Living in Ontario Canada makes for a pretty short driving season compared to our freinds far south of us. Whenever I read a post about you southern guys getting together for a cruise in the middle of winter, I'm hugely envious. Yesterday we posted a 56 degree day and I just had take the car out. This is unbeleivable as we would normally have two feet of snow in the driveway by now. Here's a shot of yesterday and one of few years ago; same time of year.

Jesse - good decision on getting out in the Speedster when the getting is good! Your car looks bad-a$$!
Jessee..... Does the car shrink up and go pale every time it snows???? Inquiring idiots want to know....
thanks for the thumbs -up musbjim, and yes there is shrinkage!
Hey, Jesse. Not many of us up here. I know Bob Carley is over around Wasaga Beach or so and I'm in the South end of Ottawa. I've been drooling over the weather this weekend too but the Speedsters in storage at the Father in Laws place. Where are you located ? David Stroud
Hi David! I'm in London
I too thought about taking my car out...plus 16 on Sat and after that torrential rain got up to the same on Sun. However, my car is in the garage behind the tractor with the snow blade on it and the tractor has 3 flat tires and the throttle linkage is off the car awaiting me getting around to replacing it with something else. I'm in Niagara-on-the-lake.
Brian!
Are you coming to Carlisle??
We've been reading your posts for years. It's about time we all met'cha!

May is a bad time of year as I usually like to get north and go kite skiing. Am planning on going up to Hudson's Bay this year but we'll see, some day probably. I also do not believe my car would make it there without some major problems. The furthest I have ever driven it is about 50 kms. Gotta get more miles on it this year.
Brian, did you ever order that new front suspension from England, or do I have you confused with someone else?
No you got the right guy. Yep I ordered that. Its been sitting on a shelf for 3 or 4 years waiting for me to get around to installing. The tube frame IM is wider at the front than a pan car so I have to cut off about 10 inches of the front frame and then weld up a subframe to bolt the suspension to. Hopefully get around to that this spring.
Brian, I hope you're enjoying the retired life. I have five months to go....
Ron, I work harder and longer now than I did when working but now its doing things around the house, cottage, on the cars, etc....things I enjoy more than what I did to earn a living. Still, I do miss the money.
Still, I do miss the money.
I'm sure I will too.
