Just thought I'd share a photo from this past weekend.

The morning started badly: misty and cold and the battery was drained because I have still failed to track down a short. But, my trusty co-pilot, Nani, and I left home early enough that I thought we'd miss any leaf peeping traffic on the Kancamagus. The roads were nice and empty on the western side of the White Mtns... until we got to Lincoln (the "Gateway" to the Kanc), then it was a traffic jam. So we retreated back into the secluded hills to the west and north. Stopped once for a photo - see below. The car handled the five hours of driving without any problems - which is important considering that cell phones don't often work up here in the North Country.

So, if anybody is thinking of coming up here for a foliage tour, here is my advice: 1) come soon. It looks like its just peaking now. And 2) try to make it on a weekday. Oh, and if you're bringing a coupe, give me a call.

Not so nice a ride

Yesterday my son got married, he wanted to ride inthe GR8WHT.
They took off and about half way the car sputter and died! Not able to restart, it sits by the side of the road. It turns, I smell gas but it doesn't seem to be getting spark.
 
Part two

I thought about it... engine turns over and I smelled gas. Must be no spark in the cylinder. Just went over to the car and made sure all connections in the area of the distributor and coil were snug and viola!!! Started with half a crank!!
Relief......

Now to drive a bit on this glorious NH day!!!
 
Stan, did you get out on the road?
Don't know about down near the seacoast but we woke up this morning to a few inches of snow up here. Its looking like an early hibernation this year.

And, to clarify, my co-pilot is shown below.
