Just got back from Tim's "Illegal in CA" run!
Morning again!
Back from the scrap haul road trip. Returned without trailer or money. The place was closed. The rolling mills have a scheduled shutdown, and the entire place gets powered down. So dropped trailer at a buddy’s place until i can get back to haul it in. Hes less than 20 minutes away.

The Spridgets are still hanging in I think H production? although SCCA is trying to get them, FVs and other old cars out (or investing in some major $$$ retrofit).
In autocross they've pretty much succeded in that.
They clearly can be fun to play with.
One guy shows up at many of our Philly region events with his mid 70s Triumph.
Nice car. needs some tweaking on the carbs but he'd rather leave them as they are.

Now that i have some miles on that 360, thought i would turn some screws. Needle adjustment all the way down, it was set at 4 turns when i got it. So were the idle mixture screws. They are all set way leaner now. Tail pipes are sooty too. But idle is smoother. It was rough/choppy before. Just about to go for lunch,and gas. Will see how it drives.
And the T-Bird showed up. Body shop killed the power trunk opener. Now i have to get it open,now that it has fresh paint.
My Dad bought a 1964 MG 1100 ( 4dr sedan transverse mounted 4 cyl )when our family was stationed in Vienna Austria ( 1962-1967 ). He brought it back to the US. I learned to drive that 4 spd car when I was 12. Just around the yard or Uncles Farm though. In 1971 the cars engine was worn. I was 14 at the time. Told Dad I thought I could rebuild the engine. He said ok, brought me the full service manual and told me to read it front to back, and he'd let me do it. So I took it out and disassembled it, and took the block and heads and crank and all to the machine shop. Got it all back and reassembled it, returned it to the car. But I couldn't get it started for some reason. After a few days, I determined that I had the distributor out 180 deg...LOL... Ran great after that. That was my first engine overhaul, I didn't realize until a few years later how much confidence Dad had in me to let me try that. R.I.P. Dad....

Best friend's older sister drove a MG Midget. We used to duck for cover whenever we detected her motoring presence. No matter where she drove, in her head she believed she was at Laguna Seca
and the Midget responded well . Things got really hairy when she let the Midget go for this new import called 240Z . 1100 more CCs and she used them all

oh boy, 240z's are the BEST. My dad had a 280, and if he does not have some stories from that thing. Like testing how fast it could go and passing a cop at 125-ish. (the cop let him go because he had a 280 as well)Best friend's older sister drove a MG Midget. We used to duck for cover whenever we detected her motoring presence.

But we got rain!
Damn acid rain
@halifaxhops , how’s your crypto doing? I’m down about 60 bucks. Mostly in transaction fees.
Up double.
Just over 340 from 170, just really slow. Glad I dumped when I did.
I got in at the wrong time. I was down at one point nearly 80 percent. But thru what is borderline day trading, I’ve made almost all that back.
Al that matters, super volatile.

Looks Like D prod is gone from National level events.
Sports Car Club of America
Probably still exists at regional races. The SCCA website makes it clear as mud.
Now find a bottle of Vat 69Hey Ray!
I finally tried out the VAT 40.

You're confusing things. Tullamore Dew is about as expensive as I'd buy and even that is pushing the limits of what I can appreciate. A man has to know his limits.
Finished a very nice lambic with dinner. Thank you anyway.
VAT in this case is Volt Amp Tester and the meters were flaking out.
