....is that all the salt should be finally off the roads.  Which means that I can once again take the car out for a "test beating"!

I just replaced the oil return tubes, and the only effective way to determine whether or not the leak is gone is to take the car on a high-speed run in order to properly heat up the oil and "stress test" the engine.

Anyone else going for a drive this weekend?

it would be nice for some of the gravel that washed onto the roads to be gone.

March events are generally a complete gamble. Looks like this time around you won. Enjoy the hell out of it!!

The way the weather has been in So'Jersey the past two years; they have all been a gamble. The Rolex, PCA Club race, and our MAW were all monsoon weekends!.
 I have lived on the coast for the past 25 years and I remember having 1 or 2 Nor'easter's  a year. Now we seem to have at least 1 a month and since Thanksgiving it seems like 1 a week!

Unfortunately, I will not be one of able to take the car out. But I will be finished installing my seats/harnesses and torsion bars & bushings. Just in time for Apr 16,17,18. Smile

I was on the road all day today for work...driving the wagon with snow tires:?

The thought occurred to me to call the insurance agent and reactivate the policy on the Porsches.   I was preoccupied with work until I saw a chicky driving an Aston convertible pass me with the top down (car top) on I-78....truly a Chevy Chase moment.

Called the agent, was home by 5:30 and just logged 50 miles with the top down.   Bring on spring!Big Grin
