Default Another Driving Video

The 52 Mercury of course. Shot some new angles while testing out the new brakes out on the gravel roads. Nice to have brakes but I still need to bleed the air out of the system when I get help.

LOVE the sound and watching the suspension do its thing. It's almost mesmerizing.

Thanks. Pretty gloomy morning weather wise here too after the heavy rain. It did give me a few days break from work though. Too bad it will be too muddy to take the Merc out for a spin until the sun dries up the mud. I think I took this still shot the same day as I shot the video back in mid April. Parked beside the 49 Merc truck.

Agreed on the leaf spring action. I did not realize just how much they move and how rough my driveway is. :-) It also shows just how badly I need to install rear shock absorbers. The one remaining original I suspect does not do much absorbing. I also noticed a cracked leaf on the left side a while back but doubt it will be a problem.
