It might have been 77 when we had that happen. I know it was late 70's prior to 1980. We pulled in the night it turned cold. The weather guys were saying it was going to be in the 20's in the morning. It was 70 when we got done eating at the Old South around 11 pm. Next morning it was all iced over.

Prolly 77. That's the only time I really remember ice, and very light snow. May have been early 78 though... That winter. Old South is no more. Donno what it is now, but I passed through there a few months ago and it was NOT the same. I prolly ate in there 3 times or less. Don't care for BBQ much anyway, unless it's done my way.

Easy now... You'll be back on...er in it on Sunday, if not Sat night.

Yer Cavy isn't all bad, but the ride quality sucks! Good economy though.

We've not been to Clewiston in a long long time. We started fishing out of Harney Pond at Lakeport in the mid 80's and other than visiting a guide friend of ours, we haven't been back in a long while.

The last 2 years we've had to resort to Kissimmie. From what I'm hearing if the Corps/Water Authority or whatever it is doesn't stop screwing with the lake there's going to be a lot of people hurting.

1979 Coupe de Ville--the sleeper. 542ci Cad stroker, TH-200-4R OD auto, Tuxedo Black paint, has been completely rebuilt twice. Off the road until spring.

1979 Ford F-350 *deep breath* 4x4 SuperCab XLT Ranger Camper Special. *panting for breath* Even at 22', the name is longer than the truck. It was originally a 400/4-speed truck...now, it's a Fummins: the engine is a 6BT out of a 1994 Spartan delivery truck, with the original 4-speed. It has an old Meyers snowplow & a sander, and after every snowstorm, I spend a few hours blasting all the crap off with a pressure washer. Does this make me crazy?

1974 AMC Gremlin X, factory 304/3-speed car. I paid $50 for it with a bad engine, grenaded transmission, and destroyed interior (complete with wasp nest, complete with wasps). It now has a rebuilt 401 from a 1975 police Matador, a T-10 4-speed, and will probably be getting a nice 6-71 blower this winter.

1989 Olds Custom Cruiser wagon: 307 Olds, runs pretty nicely, power everything, solid body, working A/C, 20' long & 4200lbs...for sale cheap, PM me if interested.

Bought last week...
1995 Chevrolet Caprice Classic wagon. Yes, it has the LT1. Paid $500, with a grenaded transmission (the yahoo I got it from towed a big boat with this big boat). It's a high-option car with rear air-leveling, PASS-key antitheft system, auto-dimming inside mirror, AM/FM/cassette with graphic equalizers, third seat, power windows, locks, & seats, tilt column, power heated side mirrors, rear defroster & wiper--pretty much everything but leather, sunroof, auto-on headlights, tow package, and full digital dash (it has a digital speedo & regular gauges). The trans was rebuilt (along with a new rear main seal & good junkyard flexplate), and it gets registered this week (if I can actually get to the Department Of Morons & Vehicles).

My wife has:
1986 Grand National: 272 stroker, Art Carr TH-200-4R, rollcage, Currie 9" rear...truly a scary-fast car. Her first car.

1986 K-5 Blazer: 6.2 diesel/auto, 4x4, 2" lift, 33" tires, spray-can OD green paint, snowplow, enough cancer I'm contemplating a Bummer body conversion this summer.

1988 Ford Festiva: 1.3/4-speed, 1700lbs, the 42MPG commuter car.

thats some mighty fine Iron you got there...
Especially like that CDV sleeper and the GN.

My list goes like this
61 Corvette ex-fuelie now a 70´s LT-1.. a former Modified SP class racer.
65 GS Convertible in the process
70 SS396 Elky with air and cowl induction..special order Hugger paint, in the process
82 Z/28 road racer in the works
85 Corvette Coupe just a driver sofar getting a rollcage.
87 Trans am GTA daily driver with some tweaks.

Alfa Romeo GTV2000 racecar
Alfa Romeo 75 Turbo daily driver too.
Alfa Romeo 75/Milano 3.0 America as a future rally car.
