Great time cruising the S GA countryside yesterday with my “British Invasion” brethren. Perfect top down Spring weather (except for Mark Heffelfinger in the Mini!). Shirley, our 1959 Austin Healey 3000 ran like a champ! Artistic photo courtesy of Mark Heffelfinger. Video courtesy of Robby Hastings.

Wonderful run over to Bainbridge, GA today with my Brit car mate Robby to pick up his new project…1960 Austin Healey Bugeye Sprite. This will definitely keep him busy for the foreseeable future but what a cool find 😎! Met some great folks along the way as well.

Fresh from an all-night road trip to Missouri and back please welcome to the Workshop our rare and unique 1963 Thunderbird factory Sports Roadster. She’s one of only 455 built in Ford’s last year of offering. Corinthian white over black leather with factory air conditioning, this two-owner 390 4V beauty with original paint and seats will definitely get exercised here in S GA. Dorothy and I are proud to be her new caretakers.

Congrats to Pete’s Otto in Valdosta on their grand opening today. It gave Mark, Bob, Robby, Mick, Joey, Lance and me a chance to exercise our LBCs before the coming cold snap.
