211K miles!!!! Go ahead man! So when you gonna make the drive from DC to RDU? The Crusing the Capital show was big.. the Grill 57 Cruise in is big.. Come see me man.. You have a place to stay but the garage space is limited... lol... I don't claim to have the most cars per person but with a two car garage and six vehicles your's making it into covered storage is slim.. lol

Happy Birthday
Hi Dennis,
210,000 miles, so many roads , so little time.
I think you should get away and come to Maine. Short drive for the likes of you and me. Bring some labels, and magic marker, my shop, house and car could use some organizing. In the kitchen most definitely.
Say hello to the DC crowd,,,,, Dennis hosted a little party for me on my trip.
If you going to DC look him up. You may have to rake leaves for food.
His friends cars
63 FI Rick's car
Dennis & Judy out for a ride, his car sounds very powerful
Almost in his backyard , he lead me to this
Happy Birthday to your car and may both of you have many more

Happy Buildday to your '67.... many more to come!
Hope you had a great cruise this weekend in'ts honour.
I think it's great to recognize your car's birthday... that's cool!
Though my '65 and I share the same year and bday, I remember to treat it with the respect due an elder as it was actually built Sept 8, 64 as a '65 making it actually one year older, to the day. It's a little hard to imagine my car will be turning 50 soon... me on the other hand, that's impossible!!!
All my best to Toy1, you and Judy!

Leaves for food....the leaves are coming down. Jack, you 'da man. vt65, I never thought of the fact that a totally different group of cars will be celebrated. Should be some good times and lots of birthdays. Get those 63-67's ready for the parties. Thanks for the nice comments. Dennis

Dennis,
Rt 17 is an awesome drive! . . . always go that way to the Outer Banks instead of 95 - you'll love it. I had planned on driving my '66 down 17 this fall to see my brother in Virginia Beach, but I'm still in the midst of my tranny swap - probably make the trip in the spring now.
Congratulations on the milestone!
Tom

Your car could have been in pictures
Thanks, too bad your car was not running when I visited you.
I wonder, are you using replacement or reproduction parts in your house remodeling?
Say Hello to Jim and Frank, tell Frank I gave the car a few more degrees of advance. He did say that I could use more , or did he?
Well the car seems happy , jumps in all gears , no ping, but then again, I would not know a ping from a pong.
Cheers
Jack
