Default Ready for summer - video

Just trying to get motivated to get her out of winter hibernation so I put this quick video together hoping it would help.

Have a Z setting at the ready makes it kind of hard sometimes to get the real toy out. Your vette looks awesome. You should bring it up to the cruise in at BG in May.

Scott....Who's the band playing the tune in your video. I'ad like to load it onto my ipod to play on my new subwoofer in my 79. If I crank this thing up I can feel the vibrations from the base on the back of my ears. Crazy for an old man, huh?

I would've liked to hear that FastBurn 385 singing but the music was okay.

It's called Animal by Haitz. I've never heard of them - I just picked a song using YouTubes audio swap.

I wish. It's actually just a built 327, but she does hit pretty hard. I'll try to get some action video in the next few weeks.

I thought it was you that had the topless twin to my 68. The 327 is still a sweet engine.

I found out who I was thinking about ( spedaleden ) but I realize now the engine is all he and I have in common car-wise.

I'll leave you alone now but I'll be looking for the action shots.
