Yea, I was certainly late signing up though the year before two of us signed up in January and there was plenty of extra space near the BMW area so it was disappointing to hear about the smaller turnout this year. I’ll set a reminder for this September.
Spent the day working the 2000CS at Barney’s place. What a little slice of heaven...

Created some performance art. Loaded up all the poodles, put them in their assigned seats, and went to the fancy hotel in town and park the car and watch people pull out their cameras.

20 hour delayed response: reversed her into storage, out from the misty rain to prevent her from melting...then lovingly gazed at her in awe
Sun Valley...nice. Was there in January but the snow sculpture wasn’t up. It started to lean over, so they removed it. I’m glad they rebuilt it.
Here it was a couple years ago after snowmageddon...
Beautiful place... I’m sure everyone enjoyed the car and dogs...
...today last drive her for the next 15days, at least ! (it will be more for sure)

Got my sills welded and fitted to the right of the coupe. Did this slightly differently to how I've seen on the forum. Spotweldd the a and B pillar reinforcements to the middle sill before welding the outer on, then welded the whole assembly to the car. About 1kg of electrox paint in every crevice should stop any rust although I'll be cavity painting and waxing too.

yep @Eric V
i did not expressed myself properly, the double cd is from japan, the headphones are Grado from the US and DAC and CD reader Italian, but yes japanese gear from the 70-ies is fascinating
most of it sansui, but also B&O
moved to the PX-3 yamaha
p.s. beer, in favour of Maredsous double or blonde, and La chouffe, both from Belgium.

well done Jesus! i will drink to listening to Chet Baker ... one of the great trumpet players ... along with other jazz masters. i also have some vintage equipment - Magneplanar 3a speakers / Bryston amp + preamp / Linn turntable / Rotel HDCD player. My drink of choice is aged wine ... predominately French (bordeaux / burgundy / champagne / loire whites), Italian (barolo / tuscan), Spanish (rioja + ribera del duero) and American all of this makes dreaming about coupes easier ... that's what i did today ... think about what will make my coupe better.
I like wine. I have vintage McIntosh tube audio components from the late 50's and early 60's. Like my coupe, it is as much fun just to look at it as it is to listen to it.

Had a break from the rain so had to take advantage of the “golden hour-ish” sunlight and snap a few pics.
I took the coupe out for a couple hour drive around LA today...had a short break in the rain, and don't know when I can get it back on the road with the impending apocalypse and more rain on the way...hoping no more than two weeks, but who knows.
Meant to get a good pic, but just enjoyed driving the damn thing so much I forgot!

is tgat a baikal blau colour ?
what happened to your driver’s seat ? lack of horsehair stuffing ?
Topped off the gas tank on my way home from work this evening. Feels like I am hunkering down for a different type of hurricane.

Yes Baikal blue. Either a lack of stuffing or 2 caretakers ago was on the “hefty” side
