Today we have temps plummeting, snow coming down (hey, Midwest in November, go figure) and tomorrow’s commute will undoubtedly prove challenging. But, yesterday, Sunday 10 November, we had severe clear and a high in the mid-60s, perfect for the annual drive down to Chester to raise funds for a vet’s group. And what a…

I’ll tell you what, when 6-Pack – the national club for TR250 and TR6 owners – throws a party or a confab, they really know what they’re doing!

Saturday, 17 August, and the SLTOA faithful once again made the trek to It’s Alive Automotive for a tech session.   Another good turn out, great information on the care and feeding of LBCs with plenty of back-and-forth between the participants…and, as always, a lot of meandering about, looking at It’s Alive’s remarkable assortment of vehicles,…

Six weeks later, figured I’d better post something/anything.  As we’re well into summer, our initial offering is a couple of photos from SLTOA’s annual SweatFest backyard BBQ gathering, on 23 July (delayed one week due to massive thunderstorms the previous Tuesday). We had good weather again this year – severe clear, not oppressively hot –…
