Hey!  I’m embarrassed that I never gave an update to Bug Jam ’23!!!

CrA Z busy with NO good excuses!!!

A foggy morning,  but enjoyed Sunny’s Dells growling up to Dade City! Incredible road car!!!

Met Jon and his son in their Java Green 💚  ’66 after passing them when I first pulled in…..my head up my WHAT??!!  SO much to see when you first pull in….

Circled around the upper “layers” of Dubs n finally found them when I came back down…..

Two cool colored cars from the best shop in CO, how could we go wrong??!!!!

Very cool our internet world’s meshed with the real world! I think I can say that I have some great new friends!!

We also met “The Beetle Chick” from Instagram (Orlando,  FL) & her husband (and brother n sister)….so cool to meet folks in person!!  She has great videos for folks “doing it themselves” and enjoying daily driving classic VWs!! I think she liked our cars a bunch!

So with the end of the year upon us,  I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!!

Weather is perfect right now for lots of cruisin’ in Sunny!!

The End – Tom n Sunny out!!

Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!

Everyone used to stay down near Hwy 54 n I-75..There’s a Sleep Inn, Best Western, and a Rodeway Inn….but they’ve built a few new hotels right up by Dade City…Hampton Inn, little more $$…..They have camping spots at the Jam….fun to hang with the Bus folks!

New rig is incredible!!!  Just like JJ and Audrey say, everything from the doors n sunroof to the way it purrs down the road, it really is a brand new car!!  Everything tight n smooth on this one, just a fantastic car!!!  Real pleasure to drive!!!

Yeah, hopefully we’ll see ya at Bug Jam this fall…side by side pics would be great!

Working on the “At Home in FL” video, work getting in my way of progress..but it’s coming…..seems like folks are snapping pics everytime I take her out!!!

She made it late this afternoon!!!  Pictures do not do this car justice….WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR!!!!!!

We took a BUNCH of pics and videos, so stay tuned….Here are some still sneak peaks at her arrival in FL….

Of course I have to have one shot of when they loaded her in Colorado…like this nose shot….

And here she is in FL….

She made the trip no problem, just took an extra day due to weather…..anticipation was KILLIN’ me!!!!  But this shot sez it all;

What a FANTASTIC car!!!!  Now let’s spin the odometer on this puppy!!!  As my friend Bruce Meyers always said, “More smiles per mile!”

Can’t thank JJ and the Team enough, this is beyond my expectations completely….I’m speechless!

Thanks!  Yup BDay is tomorrow….excited as hell to see her…Had started talking to the shipper about  a month ago…so revived them….now we’ll see whose close n can pick her up!  Hot chick like her should be able to catch a ride pretty quick!  Like Johnny Cash sang….”I’m goin down to Florida….and get some sand in my shoes!!”

Yes Audrey,  I  will love her like you do Ruby…..Something about ’66s….of course they all have different personalities when u drive ’em….that’s what makes ’em fun!

That sounds great!! – The Audrey Seal of Approval, that is…I’m honored that racing celebrities built and are proving out my rig!!  Yeah I’m sure I’ll be guilty of being heavy on the roller too…lol!  Love the pics from bottom to top…she just doesn’t hava bad side, does she?? Ahhhh, just how it is with beautiful women…lol! Time for us to dust off n charge up the Go Pros!!  I have a feeling there will be a ceremonial video or two made to welcome her to Florida  & my fleet……Did I mention Thursday is my Bday?….What a fantastic present!!!!

Dropped off there for a few days…..tending to my sick 13 year old Lab…yup everything is old n needs attention around here…lol!

Looks fantastic after a bath!  Yeah, I  try not to get caught in our afternoon downpours, but like ya said it’s FL – There’s liquid sunshine everywhere!!

I’ll haveta keep some videos going of the adventures as they continue….there should be a bunch of ’em!

The door gaps, etc. look perfect….so not surprised they close great too!  I’m super excited – Really enjoying the test run videos….been sharing them with a bunch of friends along with the b4 n after shots…everyone is amazed….Great feedback on the snap video run of the build..I  think that’s a favorite….

It’s been 90s here, but had rain the other night, a heck of a thunderstorm, and then it’s been nice…in the 80s here as well…..no real excitement here on the weekend, just me taking about 3 hours to put a fuel pump in a ’66 Big Block Corvette….not much room in there….silly turd, tricks are for kids!
