Any of yinz guys getting itchy for a nice cruz in the C3 ? I can't believe winter has just begun... |frown|
Well, I did see a very sharp white 65 rolling down the hi-way the other day. I'm guessing the driver could have cared less that the pouring down rain was turning to slush in the cold air... |laugh|

Had to get mine out of the garage Saturday to change some light bulbs, so I took it around town for a quick spin to bring it up to temp, It felt good!!

Vette(s): 1975 C3 Red, T-Tops, Black Interior. All I need is time and money! Getting there!
My is not driveable in the purchased condition. I have a lot of work to do until my first drive. Much will have to wait for warm weather. It's making me crazy not driving or even being able to work on it.

You Guys need to live somewhere warmer! While its true that come August it can be like living on the surface of sun here (Austin Texas), its worth it right now - Saturday's high was 78 and Sunday was 74 with a few clouds. Took both girls (a '74 and '68 conv) for spins.

I live in Finland and usually it gets snowy here in mid November and doesn't clear out before late April, so that leaves us good 4 months of decend cruising period. However this year it we got out first snow just in time for Christmas and I was able to drive my 75 in December. And just yesterday I helped friend to trailer his 73 from the paint shop to my carage where it will stay till April. It's still a long time before the summer gets here, but at least I have good 4 months to work on the cars!
