| Happy April! What a topsy-turvy winter it has been! The March storm is now an almost distant memory as the temperatures have climbed, and the snow has departed. It was a late onslaught that threatened the true arrival of spring, but we’ve come out the other end.  During the warm spell before the above storm, I was able to get out into the garage and finish working on my passenger-side trunnion! This side was much easier to deal with, mostly because I now knew what NOT to do. The car is back on its four wheels and has been started and warmed up fully. She’ll be ready to go as soon as I’m able to give her a good wash.
We had a massive turnout for our annual pilgrimage to JD Auto on March 19th with roughly 35 members in attendance. We armed Josep (Joe) and Griff with a handful of questions, and many others followed from the assembled audience. We discussed brakes, clutches, cams and carbs, and a few other things that I can’t remember; we had to cut off questions at 90 minutes in order to enjoy our pizza. Joe donated a number of items for a surprise draw after the discussion, and the club provided a grand prize of a vehicle appraisal valued at $250, won by Tony Fox. Congratulations to you, Tony and to all of the winners! Look for a full report in the next Ragtop.
