Hi Cape Codder

Very remiss of me to skip actual weather here in Suffolk County England . Right now the leaves are falling off my North American red oak in my garden . It is over 100 years old and no doubt planted when my house was built The Victorians imported trees from the New World also the grey squirrel which upset the native red squirrel as the greys carried squirrel pox which was fatal to the reds . Right now I am getting the body fitted to the frame of a 1930 standard roadster .The repro dash panel says "made in Germany " and amazingly all four screws fit !!! not choice of two or maybe 3 with Far Eastern products .

John in cool Autumnal ( Fall) high pressure dull with no rain weather Maybe out in the country lanes tomorrow in my slow but sure (small bore engine and 4.55 rear end) 1928 multidisc clutch phaeton .
