16 mpg is better than 9 that is cool that you were able to take the Rover on it s maiden run. bet it was nice sitting in a leather seat with no manual shifting to do.

So Dale had some help welding eh? Nice. Did they do a better job?

Actually my little guy wants to. I've been showing him how to use my old Lincoln AC/DC. He's just in awe. Yes, he's the gear head of the bunch!...besides me. The other 2 were more interested in the critters around Mike's place.

Send me his name and pictures, and I will see he is added to the group pictures when we write this up for our website!

Same is true of Mike's kids - if they wish it they can join us. When it comes to kids I will not publish their picture unless they and their parents approve. . .

That bolt was rounded off before I got at it...I just "fixed" it

Kids in the club, cool. Can't have a family oriented club without the family! However, do we have to invite Mike's horses too?

Sounds like you had a great time. Tower Park was nice this weekend as well. Sorry, I couldn't make it this time.

Glad you had so much fun getting together.
