This weather bites!
I have my new loaner carb installed and a new air cleaner that clears the choke and accelerator mechanisms.
Now our mild Montana winter has turned into the spring from hell. I was golfing in Feb. and now that I'm supposed
to be able to drive my vette, it has started to snow and is hanging in the teens for temp.
I can't wait to get out on dry pavement and try out the new setup.
Just had to whine. Sorry
Drive On,
Tj :cheers:

Re: This weather bites! (TJRed76)
Tell me about it. I just went over to storage to get my Vette. I have a friend coming into town tomorrow morning and I want to show it to him. I wish I hadn't looked at the bank sign which read 5 degrees F. No problem starting the car but it made a few more noises than usual. Now it's in a toasty 75 degree garage. Whoa those leather seats are cold!

Re: This weather bites! (TJRed76)
Hey TJ, If the weather warms up in the next two weeks, are you going to drive the vette down for the weekend? I am looking at 3 month minimum, once it warms up enough to work in the garage, for me to be able to hit the highway. Or at least the streets and work the final bugs out of the system. Catch you then.

Randy75,
Glad to hear you are so close to driving the car. Let me know when you take
it out, and I'll meet you in the middle somewhere. The cars haven't seen each
other for a long time.
Drive On,
TJ

Like TJRED76 it was nicer here in ontario in Jan Feb then it is now. Two weeks ago I was going to take the snow blower off the tractor but now it is below freezing nearly every day.

Not to be mean, but, I got somewhat sunburned here riding in Phoenix this weekend.
Soon to be summering in the heat of hell, enjoy your cooler weather, then bust all of us southwestners this summer!

Re: This weather bites! (427V8)
Sorry guys.... It's my fault because I took the snowbrush out of my truck a couple of weeks ago when it was in the 50s. Looks like an inch or so of the white stuff already today. Weather Channel says this weekend isn't going to be much better. 30s and rain/snow mix.
Sorry!
