#164 has been getting a mechanical restoration for a few months and I will be picking it up tomorrow. Nice that the restoration shop is just about 4 miles down the street.
Actually went to pick it up last week and it ran fine sitting in the parking area at the shop. However, I took it for a once around the block test drive and when I get back to the shop entrance.. it dies. Couldn't get it cranked, so I just asked for another week to see what the matter of the cranking might be. That seems to be worked out.. and I will get the car in the AM.
But I must say the flood of memories came back to me as I drove the Darrin for the first time in over 13 years. It drove and sounded just as it did as it always has. I can't wait to get it back and do some driving around town.
