Indeed, fun times!!! We'll get together in a day or two. I might be here longer than planned (missing job materials) so we may down some more drinks.
BTW, the rental car place y'all sent me to was a life saver AND a funny story too!! Ill post more on that later.
For anyone thinking of coming to the Virgin Islands during peak tourist season, make SURE you have a rental car reserved in advance!!! And be prepared for the most stressful driving you'll ever do below 35mph!!! _________________ www.LoCashRacing.org

I must cut a pretty good light. I haven't been honked at once for sitting at a light. A lot of folks honk to get into traffic or when approaching a blind turn. _________________ www.LoCashRacing.org

If you think driving on St. Thomas is "fun" go over to St John and deal with the mountains, the jitney/taxi drivers, and the traffic in Cruz Bay...
St John is my FAVORITE vacation spot... period! _________________ 1952 MG TD Replica, 69 VW IRS pan, 1679cc with 40 HPMXs -- Most fun for the money out there...

Gramps.... Low Cash John came by and look @ SID... As soon Stretch Shorty cover was pulled.. It was a wrap!!
I'm glad he came by and look @ the cars... Hopefully tomorrow we head out to the dock and watch some of the cars get loaded on the boat to St Croix. _________________ AH TIYAD AH DAT DEH BAI!!!

Update: A Saturday morning. My cousin towed S.I.D. The beam is narrowed so the tow bar couldn't fit on the beam. I have a custom made tow bar but the beam will need a bracket welded on to accommodate. I wouldn't do this again!! Turn out that the tow bar had bent but it's nothing a welder can't fix! I owe him big time!! PROGRESS!!
First time rolling on the street.
S.I.D. well cocked up waiting for her engine!
Rael aka Bugman Forsure went to work on this body asap! What I can say is... These old bodies needs a lot of TLC!!
Gotta Thank Low Cash John for swinging thru and cutting it up with us. Good times in the compound!
More pictures to come. We got a lot of work to be done. _________________ AH TIYAD AH DAT DEH BAI!!!
