Lawdog 843de knows about York he has been before.
Yes I have been there, and I've left more money behind than I care to remember.

So my curiosity is peaked, which prewar engine did you scoop up Ron?

I took the day off, so Paddy got an oil change, tire rotation, greasing of the greasable bits, and a rear brake adjustment. Then my wife's Fiat 500C got its oil changed and tires rotated.

HHR's aren't big, but when I work on her Fiat it reminds me of working on a go kart, everything is to 1/3 scale.

Have you ever seen an old Morris Mini parked next to a new Mini? The new ones are gigantic!

Cool finds Ron!

I-81 traffic is almost always awful, especially when the Orange Barrels are in season, I'm planning on going to the Spring 2015 show, hope we can meet up.

I got around to wiring up my LED light bar today, and even got to cruise to test it out. I currently have quad projectors, with 6000k headlights and 3000k fogs, and this thing puts em to shame. It's just a cheap eBay curved light bar (so it matches the contour of the bumper), but it is surprisingly bright, and the quality was much better than i expected for the price. I gotta take some comparison pics at night to show it off

@Fox Hat, not sure of the vendor, but the lights are all the same, i just searched for "30 curved LED light bar" and looked for US sellers. I paid around $160, couldn't justify spending more than that on a light

@lunchbox, you could link us to the listing and we could search the vendor and or other listings! Also, what size is that? I see 30 curved. 30" curved? Flood or Spot?

Yup, that looks like the one, it's a curved 30" wide with flood and spot lights. I did have to trim the grille opening quite a bit to make it fit, and make new mounting brackets.
