I'm in Millbury, a border town of Worcester. Yes, we have a snow-covered yard with piles of snow (although the warm temps this week mean it's disappearing quickly!).


I may join a club but don't expect to be a very active member. I own a business and don't have a lot of free weekend time when most gatherings occur. Mostly, I want to get back to driving for pleasure so I'm more likely to participate in some of the cruises. Otherwise, I'll just cruise solo up into northwestern MA where the roads are fun and traffic is sparse!

[QUOTE=C369GS;1594145756]I picked up my first C3 today - a 1969 L48 4-speed coupe in LeMans Blue over Blue. It's got a non-original 350 that's been warmed up with an Edelbrock package and a few dress-up items, but that's OK because I was looking for a really nice driver that doesn't need much. I've done the show and car club thing and now just want something to drive and enjoy.[QUOTE]


Congratulations from a fellow 69 owner. That is a heck of a way to break in to the C3 world! You are I are in agreement on the car show/club thing. I can appreciate those activities, but I would rather spend time working on my car and driving it!!!!!!

Please think looooong and hard before you put a luggage rack back on. Personally I believe they take away from the lines of the car. Also, if you ever go to sell, I think a majority of buyers would be turned off on one. I would not buy one with unless it was a smokin, I mean smokin, deal. It can always be put on but very hard to take off. Mark

I really can't see myself putting it back on. I have a friends '73 in the shop and it has one still installed. The back to back comparison (for me) favors leaving it off.
