Some nice looking cars there. Nice place for a car show, good to hear your still putting on the miles of your nice 74 Paul.

I'm somewhat surprised at the mileage this year given some iffy weather weekends. I rarely drive during the week. My trip odometer, set at the beginning of the season, clicked past 999 yesterday and now shows 047. So it has been a 1,000mile+ season. My total last year was 1,300 miles.

I'm just posting without fact checking from my increasingly fuzzy memory, but wasn't Max's car an Alpine and not a Tiger?
