My first new car was a 1970 VW Beetle that came loaded. That means it had a radio!! It was a fun ride and served us well although my wife would have preferred something bigger. The need for something is a real sickness as you convince yourself it is not a want but a real need for your well being. I did not get another 70 bug but a 74 bug that is lowered and has a narrowed front beam with all bumpers and turnlights removed and smoothed over. It is a eye-catcher and has a lot of personality. A continuing work in progress as many old drivers are.

So Christmas and New Years have come and gone and we survived another election. On to bigger and better things! My Christmas cheer was stifled by falling off a ladder in my storage barn and breaking my radial bone in 5 places at the wrist. I now have more steel in my wrist than many new cars. Not to be slowed by a mere injury I scoped out a early 60's English Ford panel on the road to a Doctors appointment. Under the bonnet(hood) set the tiny 4 cylinder power plant with only a few vitals missing. Who needs wiring?? The body was remarkably straight and some attempts had been made to curb the tinworm. All in all a great start on and inexpensive driver that could double as a sign for your business. Keep looking  as the next great find is right down the road.
