I drove out to the highway and it was closed do to an accident. So the drive was limited to 4 miles. It was fun while it lasted though!

Ohio Region 141 celebrated our 25th Anniversary by having a carry-in picnic at a member's house in Troy, OH. I believe we had 12 or so V8s there and about 45 members. Some wore masks and some didn't. A good time was had by all! It was about 90 degrees, but nice in the shade!

Stay safe!

I'll be out to a buddy's house this afternoon. Nice little 10 mile drive and the weather is perfect.

Nice drive yesterday in my '36, about 75 miles, sunny and beautiful inland, foggy at the coast.Didn't see a single other V-8 on the road

I got the ole' Merc out here in North Florida on a "HOT" Saturday morning I got a little later start to the day than I wanted BUT was able to give her a good run. I tootled about town for more than two hours of running errands and poking about town. Got home about 3:30 after a little visit to my best bud's house for a little cool down (for me, not the Merc). The Merc ran flawlessly, in 92 degree heat and humidity it never even ran close to hot!! I can't thank HOOP & CharlieNY enough for their brilliant work, am so happy driving my EFV8. I even picked up three blond "Chick's"!!!! Sorry, I should have taken more, I do have video I'm trying to upload of us blasting down US 90 & Historic US 1!!!

A BIG thanks to those of you that posted on this subject...GOOD to see all the shared photo's and getting into the spirit of "Driving your V8!" I "TRY" and drive the Mercury at least once a week, weather permitting!! keep it up
