Anyone heard from Rich? Not like him to not be posting in days...

He is in Florida...on a road trip. Don't know if he has a lap top or not.

Thanks, I thought he was going to be back by now.

I am not sure when he is to be back. I know he told me, but that was over dinner...4 weeks ago...and I have a hard time remembering what I had for breakfast...oh...wait...I don't eat breakfast! LOL!!!

I could call him and let him know people are wondering if he is alive...

Have not heard from him, Rich said he would call before heading my way.  We discussed him stopping by for a visit on his way to MO.  He had no firm time table last time I talked with him.  FL was to be a rigidly flexible time table.  I'll post as he passes through.

I had a good visit with Rich when he came through Mississippi after leaving Lynn's place in Baton Rouge.  ride. Rich's car is a nice ride, great bodywork, cool drivetrain, just a cool.  Was great to finally meet Rich after knowing him from the forum for almost 10 years now.

I think Rich deserves some type of mileage trophy. I don't know of anyone else with a 57 that racks that much up. I'm lucky to do 4-5K a year.

Did Rich drive his 57 on his trip to Florida?

Yes he did...he is angling for that mileage award...

Rich just left for his return trip home.  I was in error, he is heading home now, not swinging by Huge's place.  It was a wonderful visit, just a fine gentle man.  His car is a true work of art and a magnificent engineering piece!  The time and thought required to make all required to make the pieces and parts to work together to make a fine driving automobile demonstrate his engineering abilities.  Well above average.  I really enjoyed the short time we had together.  We shared some life stories, had a few laughs and watched the rain wash the pollen and road dust off his car.  He will be driving through the storm front that is passing through the mid south.  Told him he could "camp out here" for a couple of days to avoid but he plans on stopping just west of Memphis before moving on to home.

We couldn't decide on how long we have been together on this site, been a couple of days and both of us have been to bed since joining the site....

HEY! I know that guy on the left! The fella on the right...not yet...but in time...

And I've been losing weight with a passion over the last year...no longer Huge...now kinda slim! LOL!!!

Sounds like you guys had a good time! Excellent!  Later...Hugh

I told my son that while he would probably inherit my Couriers...they would need new motors. He looked at me with a quizzical face and said, "But you're putting new motors in them!" I informed him that I planned on driving them until the engines were worn out before I quit driving! Let's go!

I've done the same thing with the 36!  I have no idea how many miles are on that 351C, junk yard engine, rattle can overhaul.  Decided I would run it until it let me down.  That was 147K miles ago......

My favorite Ford motor.
