Francine just reminded me that it was two years ago this Labour day weekend that we first picked up our older IM Speedster in Boise, Idaho. 8,500 miles on the clock then. Stock 1600 engine. 41,535 miles on the clock today. Went thru a 1915 vw style engine and now onto a nice Soob conversion. Let's see now, Boise, Salt lake City, Sundance/Park City, Grand Junction, Denver, way over East and up to Ottawa, Canada. Then with the 1915 engine...Sacramento, LA, Vegas, Hoover Dam, Oatman, Az. Kingman and the best of Route 66 East, up into the Grand Canyon, back down to 66, Standin' on the corner in Winslow, Az.
and Eastbound, too many Margaritas in Durango, Co. ..over to see a friend in Taos, NM, down to Gallup, NM and over to Amarillo, TX via one of our favs...Tucumcari, NM. then thru Oklahoma Eastbound and Fran saw Elvis in Memphis. Over and up to meet great friends en route to Carlisle and then up home. The cam and lifters let go and in went a low bucks Soob conversion in the winter of 2011/12. Down to Key West we went and back up to Carlisle. Last weekend we were down on the Coast of Maine. We're having a ton of fun with this car and have met an outstanding group of people and very supportive friends with the car. We'll likely hit Carlisle again next year and if everything is willing, we'll likely do it via the Bryce Canyon with, weather permitting, a side trip up to Deadwood. A huge thanks to all for your support and encouragement. And a very special thanks also to Henry at IM for his patience and steadfast willingness to support my somewhat unusual mods over these years.
