Thank you fourty1... Glad you enjoyed the site, I'll keep adding to it, everytime I go to a car thing.

My favorite roadster pic - on the way to L-ville.

Cool highboy Dave.

I'm not surprised your boy likes the car.

My granddaughter didn't particularly care for my roadster.
Mussed up her hair and all that.

At least she didn't until the day I picked her up at the bus stop in the roadster.
All the boys on the elementary school bus moved over to the side of the bus so they could see the roadster.
Next day granddaughter found herself a little famous and she's liked the roadster ever since.
She's 15 now and still asks me to take her places or pick her up in it.

N/W Arkansas?
Any chance you're near Wesley or Rogers?

I have 26 cousins in the area and wouldn't be surprised to find I was related to you.

Could be . . . we both like 32 highboys....

Man, you guys have two really beautiful Deuces there, and best of all, you DRIVE them. People who don't use their cars have no idea what they are missing. I have no idea why I haven't rebuilt my '27 sooner (it's been almost 6 years) and gotten it back into daily duty, but driving it was just such a kick.

I looked for any excuse to drive it, and even trips to the grocery store were fantastic, because of the looks and crowd it would draw. Even older ladies would come up and ask questions about it and sometimes ask to sit in it. I can't wait until the T bucket is done so I can start doing that again.

What is really cool is that you can pull up to a red light next to a mega-buck Ferrari, and guess which car is cooler? Gotta get back on the street, I really miss it.

So... You're into old ladies he? (just teasing)

Yop I hear what you say about mega buck ferraries. two guys in a convertible red one beaucoup bucks $$$$$$$$$$$$, parked next to me little ol' hiboy and came out of their beaucoup bucks $$$$$$$$$$$ car and checked out hiboy from every angle, inch by inch for over 5 minutes! I watched the whole thing from a restaurant patio table near by hehe... I got up and walked up to them and they didn't want to believe it was my ride (they had to ask THREE times in a row: "No, but REALLY, is this YOUR car?") .

LOL... Thanks for the compliment...

I live in Rogers, born and raised in Ft. Smith... I think we are all related around here!!! You know kissin' cousins and all that!!!

Well . . . if you're a Harriman, Branstetter or Boatright you're a part of the family.

And probably part of the family via marriage anyway....

Can't say I have any family members with those last names, but - if you are ever in town to visit family I expect a visit anyway!!!
