Beautiful Car!!!!

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Very nice car, love the color/tire/wheel combo. Think I might go with the BY on my '67 RS instead of the TT (Capri Cream), it would look identical to yours - RS, SS, VT, etc...

BY grew on me after a while owning the car. The black VT, striping (bee and pin) and rear panel help create a nice looking combo. Once I got the F70 Cokers, FC wheels and N96 covers the beauty of the car's color combo really popped out at me.

One of my all time &quot;Favorites&quot;.............. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Perfect crystal-clear chilly fall day yesterday (Sunday) so I got'er out for a 50-plus mile, mostly freeway run. Still had 3/4-tank of Trick pump 101 from the last time I drove it so off I went! Flat spots on the Cokers went away and once she was steady at operating temp I settled in to an enjoyable 65-mph run. It was nice to get out before noon with the orange and yellow leaves bright in the sunshine! Boomed down to Tacoma, off and under the freeway and back on in the opposite direction toward Seattle with a nice long 2nd gear into-the-secondaries pull up the merge lane, 5500 rpm and a nice (faint) carbon trail out back. (Suck it tree huggers.) Back up toward Seattle at 65-70 in the right lane most of the way--let the rat-racers have the left lanes. Off and under and back on southbound toward home. A swing around Brown's Point (nice 2-lane 35-40 mph posted drive) and back to the house. One hour and twenty minutes of pure joy. It will sit in the garage for too long and then when I get it out for a good run I remember how much fun it is to drive.

Pictures or it didn't happen........

Swear to God Ken, I intentionally left my digi-camera home. I just wanted to go drive and not feel the need to suddenly pull-over to take a picture. Then, while on one of my favorite winding 2-lane drives I see a swath of huge, beautiful trees, all orange with their leaves turning and the sun on them and I thought it would make a great over-the-hood-at-speed picture. If the sun's out next weekend I'll go snap those trees!
