    Tom, those are some great photos.  More stuff to keep me motivated - I'm looking at it and thinking how much I'm looking forward to a little cruise of my own.  I think I'll do my first beauty shots at the beach.  Less distance to tow home than the mountains, just in case! 

    That house in the second shot of the second post - is that tower original?  I can't believe someone would mess up the classic lines of such a beautiful building with what looks to be a concrete watch tower.  :o

    71 Vert was the owner of MOPARTS.com  Nice guy.  His alternator fried and I gave him a ride to the local parts store we fixed him up quick. :2thumbs:  It ran 11.70 last week in the 1/4 mile.

    The tower is original from back in the day.  Some kind of watch tower out over the harbor to watch for enemy ships/submarines.  That was a stop on the cruise.  It was foggy until it burned off.

    thanks boss,

    I noticed that while we were cruising people noticed more if I was near the front.  Maybe the orange stands out a bit.LOL

    Tom

    The exhaust helps as well.  you should have seen all the people on the Mass pike on my last leg home(115 miles one way) slowing down to look.  I was cruising at 65-70 for most of the trip.  At the end I got a bit spunky a few times....  knew i was close to home.
