Dennis,
Love the pic! That alone is reason enough why we should all be happy the Pantera is not a convertible!

As a newbie Pantera owner, I am only beginning to understand the frustrations of ownership - the brake lights worked when I got it, now one side doesn't - checked the bulbs (fine), not a fuse problem (hmmm) - gonna take the assembly out tonight and see if it is a loose connection (I really hope it's that simple).

I've already diagnosed the ignition key not turning sometimes - who'd a thought there was a spring mechanism that has to pop out when the key comes out, otherwise it won't work the next time you put the key in???? Anyway, I now keep a paperclip on my key ring and will put some graphite lube into it tonight as well.

But on the plus side, I've taken it to 2 shows so far, won Best In Show at the first one, the second wasn't judged, but I just watched the dynamics, and even though there were about 250 classic cars there, the Pantera was never without a crowd around it. Animal magnetism?

So how's my day - it's beautiful outside, but I'm trapped inside at the keyboard - I'd rather be out driving or at least tinkering in the garage, but that time will come :-)
