Nice day for a drive

Weather was nice so I yook my '75 out for a drive on the local 2 lanes twistys.
Here's a small sample.

I got mine out for a quick ride yesterday too, we are getting into the 60s once in a while, still been snowing in between though, hope we've seen the end if it.

Cool vid Roy, car sounds great!
I bought a HD vid cam this winter & a mount to hook to the windshield so I can make some ride along vids this summer.

Just returned from driving about 50 miles on some small winding backroads in the Spider. What a joy a "primitive" sportscar like the Spider can be. Nothing insulates you from the road or the rudimentary mechanicals that are moving you along at a brisk pace, serenaded all the while by the barely muffled music on a well-tuned motor.

I love modern cars with their electro-mechanical perfection. But nothing beats the old stuff when pure pleasure is the sole destination. :)
