Make sure he doesn't have a "skeleton" key or you might lose your car. LOL By the way, did you have a pint of London Pride or other bitter for me when you were in the UK?? I just want to know if you followed orders.

So sorry Boss, we only went to the pub once and that was three hours after arrival at Heathrow — anything remotely alcoholic would have put this jet-lagged traveller out like a light. However, I will be going back and more likely sooner than later so there's still hope.

 

After the PO and I went for that spin in the country, we invited him in for coffee (still grinning ear-hole to ear-hole):

He's asked to ride up top until Nov 01 so I snugged him down with zip ties and baling wire and lent him a scarf to keep his neck warm.

 

Kind of a toss-up so far as to who enjoys this more — Mr Bones or the folks who spot him on the road.

Is this car your everyday car? 

 

Yes, since February this year when I transferred the insurance from my modern. I've owned the car since the early '90s and driven it extensively since 2008. Here is the link about a fun trip we had in March 2012 up into the Canadian arctic... http://p15-d24.com/topic/28444-arctic-adventure/?hl=%2Barctic+%2Badventure

That was fun reading, and the pictures of the old Dodge in the snow are great. I grew up in southeast Alaska and went to college in Fairbanks - I've driven the AK highway many times between Skagway, Whitehorse, and Fairbanks. Very cool, you don't often see folks using their old cars for more than a cruise. Inspiring!
