neil morse Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I was able to take a drive up to the top of Twin Peaks this afternoon in between the rain showers. That's the GG Bridge and the Marin headlands in the distance. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil morse Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Thank you, John and Keith. The clear days in between the rain storms are when the views are the best around here -- everything has been scrubbed clean. And I'm not surprised you like that color, Keith! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buicknutty Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I had the '41 Roadmaster out for a short drive yesterday, only 6 or 7 miles, the loop of a country block. No salt at the time on these roads. They use very little here due to the crops grown. I had to move things around to allow space to get my tractor out as we are expecting some snow, and might have to use the plow for the first time. The tractor, and it's no big thing sits in between the '41 and the '16 and I move the '41 and the Reatta up as far as possible to have space to sneak to tractor with its blade behind the '41. The '41 was a bit slow starting, and ran terrible, usually it'll settle down after a couple of minutes but it didn't, so I took it out to get it warmed up, then finally it ran well. Now it's snowing steadily! Keith 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkertom Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Happy New Year all! Had both 60 LeSabres out for a New Year’s Eve run around town yesterday. It was mid-50’s in Virginia. Another warm day today, though rainy, and tomorrow before a cold streak next week. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Our local monthly Cars and Coffee event was this morning. It was a bit cloudy but a nice day with temperatures in the 70's. I normally arrive at 9am, and the parking lot is usually about full at that time. With it being new year's day, the crowds seemed to arrive a bit later than normal, but the crowd eventually included about 200-300 cars of all ages before I left at 11 am.

old-tank Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 One last 90 mile run Friday to put me over 5K for the year. 87 degrees so we were still killing bugs and killing the planet and running the A/C. This morning it is 27*. Time to see if the heater still works. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drop from 70 at noon to 21 at 8 pm was shocking to say the least. We started with 16 but the wind had it feeling much lower. Needless to say I stayed inside and just thought about driving today. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibarlaw Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) If you can call it driving as all I could do was steer and brake as we were loading my beloved 1937 "Lucy" on the rollback.

Well my friend, I just can't give a "like" to this post as it's so sad. Beautiful car. The up side is as a parts car it will give some lovely pieces to help out another '37.

195354 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Snowed last week of December unusual at my place in Eugene. I had made plans to move the RM from our barn to the house. I was on the public roads for about a thousand feet then up to the house. Heater and defrost also power seat still need repair & a few small items then it should be on the road. I am looking for the power seat track now. l try to not leave anything in our barn over the winter, the local wildlife might want to move in.

jvelde Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Thanks for posting, I forgot to tally up 2021 mileage. Starting mileage on 12/28/20 was 102,041, and ending mileage on 12/31/21 was 104,478. Total was 2,457, so not bad for having so many things cancelled due to Covid. Have 184 so far in 2022, and hope to better last year total. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibarlaw Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Thank you for the sentiment Marty. It was good to finally meet you at the RM auction tent last Hershey meet. 3 weeks and the new owner still does not have the car. He said it is in his province Manitoba, but weather has not cooperated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old-tank Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Took a 120 mile trip through the Texas hill country just to see some green (live oaks and mountain cedar) since everything is brown-gray-drab locally. 50 degrees so no bugs to kill...just the planet. Seems they added a dozen traffic lights in the past year and many more cars on the road. A new record for an old dude: did not have to stop and pee on this trip! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodneybeauchamp Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Drove the ‘63 Riviera to the All American Day car show in Adelaide, South Australia where we caught up with a few Buick owners. Nice 120mile round trip with friend Darryl (with blue check shirt in photo) to share the fun. Riviera ran extra well and since tightening the RH outer door panel no longer has the annoying rattle. Spent time the day before washing the body and cleaning up the white walls and hub caps. Used compressed air to blow the caps dry with good results. Snowflake looked stunning in the overcast conditions. A few other Buicks in attendance along with a hot rod powered by a ‘64 Nailhead. Let the pictures talk.

rodneybeauchamp Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 We can’t stay home. Out with a small group of car guys to a breakfast at the Finniss General Store, a small cafe in a tiny country town. Great drive and a good breakfast too. A couple of red porches, Mazda coupe, Holden Monaro (similar to late model Pontiac GTO), Ford powered hot rod, Triumph TR8 plus my Riviera.

He was quite knowledgeable about the Nailhead and was aware they were used in traditional hot rods in the US and that’s what he wanted. His words “he didn’t want another 350 Chev with a 9” diff”. Enjoys showing it very much so as it always creates interest! Rodney 😊😊😊😊😊😊 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
