    Thank you sir. This one is a few years newer than mine. It's a W reg, mine was an M reg, 1973. I just looked my reg number up, REW604M, registered in Peterborough. The color is a little different and my wood panels were chrome outlined and a little wider. Now, I've got to dig out those pix and post them! Good little family car back in the day.

    Strange weather this weekend. Trees down all over the area around the Dragon. Rained off and on all day yesterday and today. Blue Ridge Parkway closed because of snow. The Lodge had no power or water until 6 pm yesterday. Not many vendors open and a lot of them packed up and left yesterday. My Grandson and I made a couple of runs yesterday and had a detailing guy spiff up the car in between rain showers. Today we did the Dragonfire run and came back to hang out on vendors alley for a while. That's when we found out most had left. I did manage to get the vendor for Renew Protect to treat my windshield with his ceramic coating treatment. Stuffs like Rainex on crack. Then the bottom fell out again and while we were sitting in the lobby wifi zone a couple walked through and told us about the Parkway. Heading to the farewell dinner in a little while and calling it a night. On the road in the AM heading home, with a stop in Asheville for breakfast and to pick up my dog. My Grandson is having a blast though. It's his first time at the Dragon.

    Today I warshed Babs clubster. I think she went off roading last week. The last car warsh lasted 3 days until it was coated in a layer of mud. Here is hoping it at least lasts a week this time. :fingerscrossed:

    My Cooper performed really well down to the Dragon, while there and on the way back home again, through all the fallen timber during our ride of terror thru the Dragon on Thursday! :Thumbsup:

    Yessir, it was fun. I just got off the phone making reservations for next year. And no, I didn't see Dick. Thought about him, but didn't know how to find him. Didn't see much of anyone except at the farewell dinner and the group I was with consisted of me and my 10 year old Grandson Eli. The main thing is I enjoyed it regardless of the SNAFU's and he had a blast. I'm going to see if I can sneak him out of school for two days next year so we can stay longer. Besides, I need someone to load and unload the car for me. :Thumbsup:

    Dick was at the Cigar Salon Wed. night and I saw him off and on until we left for home Thursday morning. He is currently offline and has no phone, either. When he gets them again, he said he will be in touch.
