I finally moved my '70 SRL that is complete, but awaiting restoration.
I moved it from the garage to the driveway where it is now tarped off.
Had to be about 20', but it was a glorious day!
In a week or two I'll be building a 20'x18' carport where she'll then
reside (for how long I have no idea). Carport materials were ordered
early last week and arrived this past Sunday.
The '68 continues to be a daily driver. I know I'm one of the lucky ones
with a good driver, needing only some minor cosmetics.
Happy roadstering to all. Not much time left here in Minnesota.

I thought Stan was referring to the "high-end" roadsters referred to in a
previous post, eg. Porsche 356's, Vipers, Ferraris, etc. Midori has not
moved this whole summer, but she'll make it out again.

You know, just when I think it's safe to go back into the water...
Am I being paranoid, or were Stan's comments a deliberate shot at me? I know
that he knows that my Roadster isn't driveable, and hasn't been while I've
subscribed to the List - and this isn't the first time that he has chimed in
with a cheap shot relating to the non-op status of my car. I know that I'm
not the only Roadster owner out there whose car is garage-bound - though
mine has been garage-bound for a really long time - but does that preclude
me from taking part?
Even though I do not, cannot, currently drive my Roadster, I am still
interested in hearing what's going on out there in Roadster-land, and have
been storing up all of the useful advice that comes across the List against
that future date when I am able to revive ol' SRL311-13291; and
occasionally, when a subject on the List piques my interest, I'd like to
think that I can post to the List, just to ask a question (as in this case),
without having to put up with smart-@$$ remarks.
