I noted the cleaning paraphernalia.
I seem to remember your missus saying words to the effect that in your younger days you were a bit of a scrubber.

Believe me when I say that I would've enjoyed it too!
I remember when Roger Spears and I were leaving the Old Mare Run and got stuck in traffic. Fuses started burning a tad low with the snail's pace we were proceeding at.
We finally got out of it...within five minutes at full noise on a clear road I had a grin from ear to ear like a cat that had swallowed the cream!
That's why I could never drive an electric car; they have no soul.
Whereas the rumble of a V8 under load...bloody gorgeous!johnboy

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Thank You for the kind words Steve.
I completely agree! The looks, the sounds... nothing better!
I think it's safe to say the 32 / 33 / 34 Fords set a standard that was hard to beat.


Guilty as charged!! Blissfully so! The car ride, the show, and the company. Made for a week to remember!
