After British V8

After the British V8 Meet, Ken and Katie ventured south and joined over 700 British and 400 American Muscle Cars for the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix in Pittsburgh, PA. (Before they headed off to Washington DC)

I did my best to play host from diner Friday PM at Quaker Stake and Lube (automotive motif restaurant), Saturday for the British Car Days and races then diner at Roland’s on the Strip (famous sea food bar) followed by an open air street concert of rock-n-roll, country, pop-mix, jazz, and others I could not recognize.

Sunday, full of vintage racing, a few motorcycle parts from the States side, and then off to DC.

It was good to meet up with friends with the same car illness!

Maybe I'll make "The Meet" someday!

Rob,

It goes to show the right front tire on the TD or TC ( the frame twist that can happen). Zeroed in on that right away :-).

I'm glad to see the illness Don, Deb, Ken and Katie. Wish I could have attended the illness to meet all. Looks like eveyone had a blast.
