Finally in the Shop

By jwf

I was beginning to wonder if I would get the BLUE in the shop to find the nagging oil leak before the Bandit Run. Well, it's in the shop and good news... not the rear seal (didn't think it was), not the rear oil pan gasket! The doggone oil filter bracket AGAIN. We have had trouble with this engine and THAT DARN BRACKET! But we think we have it fixed this time. Tomorrow will tell when we take 'er out on GA 400 and let 'er rip!

Photo taken on recent trip to GM Headquarters

By jwf

On a recent business trip to GM's Headquarters in Detroit, I snapped this photo on my cell phone of the musclecars in the lower lobby of the Rencen Center! Notice the vette, GTO, Buick, Biscayne, and the Riviera, etc. Man o Man what some jewels out of the GM stash. Anyone that hasn't visited Detroit and the Ford, Chrysler, GM museums are in for a treat if you are ever able to go there!

Enjoy!

Tail Feathers at Thanksgiving!

By jwf

We had the chance (and good weather) to drive the two TAs down to see the family over Thanksgiving! Except for a small oil leak, the cars fared very well over the 500 mile round trip.
We had a blast and gotta lot of thumbs up along the way!
Hope you enjoy!

A Huge Surprise from My Bride of 30 years!!

By jwf

After traveling almost the entire month of November 2008 with only one weekend to enjoy (and spent it at the STARS event in Florida), my wife really surprised me upon my arrival home from the airport with an installed Bird on my restored '78 TA. Those of you who reviewed the photos on the Blue on my garage may remember that I didn't have a Bird on the Hood yet. Well, my wife had it done as a Birthday present! Take a Look>>>

Little Red TA really performed well on the Bandit Run 2008!

By jwf

Filed under: /blogs/browse/t/vehicle/v//p

The only tank of fuel I can recall checking was the one where the Group was allowed to run Bristol Motor Speedway. The Little Red TA got 15.78 mpg but included 20-25 laps around Bristol. I figured without Bristol, I must have gotten close to 20 MPG! That is pretty awesome considering it is still a 3 speed Auto (no overdrive) and 30 years old!

I love 2nd Gen Trans Ams

By jwf

I own my first new car - a 78 Martinique Blue, WS6 TA. See comments under garage photos. It took me over 20 years to convince the 2nd owner to sell this car back to me after I traded it in 1981. When I finally did get the car in my possession, it was in bad shape mechanically and needed painting, interior, the whole works. 7 years later and I am almost done!
