_{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):

Thanks for the hearty laugh!!!

 

And Happy Halloween (thought it is tad early)

A skeleton walked into a bar and ordered a beer and a mop.

 

Who won the skeleton beauty contest?
No body

 

He's all bone & no muscle

 

Bad to the Bone
 

bone to be wild

I'm thinking he looks scared to death...

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.

Looks like fun! Whats that white stuff all over your car?

Chris,  those three photos are "Priceless" thanks so much for sharing

Is this car your everyday car?

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!
