Sorry about that, we've all been on a number of NYC runs together, we're just trying to help out.
Doesn't this guy know I have proprietary rights to all Manhattan runs????
Besides, the 29th is when I was going to do the martini party...I guess I'll change that date now.

The starting point is no good....too much traffic. A better starting point would be 57th between 5th & Madison (where we started the Christmas postcard run a few years ago).

PS - I'm in!

It's only a matter of time before some Real Estate Agent hangs a "For Rent" sign on some of those dips and craters. Some of them are bigger than some Manhattan studio apartments I've been in.
I've been driving in and through Manhattan for about 36 years now. The streets have always been bad.

thanks to you Doug,

car runs great. At 80mph tires start to haze, what will happen when we do the cam,heads, and headers.

I did run out of gas and coast into a station, whew that was close,need the gauge working.

Coming down to see you sat,or sunday
