« on: March 01, 2008 - 04:48:54 PM »
I know some if not most members here have been in a deep hard freeze all winter. Just reminding everyone that spring starts March 21st. Hope it warms up a bit for everyone :wave:  You'll be cruisin very soon

It was over 50 here today & is supposed to get close to 70 in the next 2 days so it sure seems like spring is almost here.  The cruise ins start in about a month.   :clapping:

It almost hit 70 here today. Hard to believe concidering it was in the single digits just a few days ago. Still couldn't take the Cuda out though because my driveway is one big mud hole from the snow melting.

   Here in Idaho it's trying to turn to spring. Still have to scrape your windows in the morning but it got up to 60 yesterday. Today it's mid forties and cold.  With the sun out you can see all the early signs that spring is almost here. The motorcycles are out but they are bundled up in full leathers and more. The great blue herons and other birds have returned too their nesting site by my work. The first flowers have not started to grow yet so its just a bit early to get full spring fever. I feel sorry for you folks still stuck in a deep freeze and snow.  I even have been able to take the cuda out for a couple of drives. The first major car show (indoors) starts next friday so things are definately starting to look up.   ;D

Got fairly warm here today as it was almost 60. A little too windy for my liking, but I finished hooking up the Demon carb that I had on my '68 Barracuda years ago. I forgot how touchy the darn thing is. A great carb once you get it set. I had forgotten how easily it will flood out on start-up (no need to pump on the gas pedal) and flooded it out, but it's all good. I plan to tweak it in when we have some more warm weather......then look out, new cam and heads!! I can smell the burning rubber already.  :burnout: I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning...it smells like victory!! :smilielol: Come on spring!!

...car photography is my hobby, and wintertime offers some different possibilities

...Thursday, I took out this GTO for a Foto Shoot, it was only 15 degrees, tomorrow, Sunday, it's supposed to be 58 degrees....the snow is all gone

...I wanted to get some shots of the car in the snow...I just bought it a few weeks ago and didn't have any decent pictures of it yet...I try every winter to take a snow shot

...the Judge is across the road at a cemetary, and the Vette is in my neighbors driveway

Out here we are starting to show signs of Spring. Grass is a foot and half high in the fields and Robins are showing. I talk to people all over the U.S. everyday at work and I get a good picture on what it's like all over.
3 more weeks and alot of you should start getting your Spring weather.
