The little details we sometimes miss...

markcharltonmarkcharltonOld enough to know better and still young enough not to care. My '71 Pantera
So after lavishing all of my spare time lately on my new Longchamp, my white Pantera was feeling rather neglected. I decided I should pull the cover off, giver her a fresh transfusion of all vital fluids and go for a spin. Wow. I am always amazed when I jump in this car how great it is. Always starts. Always runs strong and smoothly. Always looks and drives great.



I drove my usual back-roads route near my place and stopped at one of my favorite spots to snap a few pics. I like this particular road because the scenery is once, the pavement is smooth, and virtually nobody drives on it. Makes stopping in the middle of the road to grab a shot a bit less dangerous. Big Grin



I took a few pics at the side of the road as well, and when I was back home looking at them on my computer I was surprised to see what I had missed when I was just stopped and sitting there.

I enjoyed your pic so much yesterday that they "drove" me to fire her up. It was 82 degrees F with a humidity of 72%RH. As soon as I pulled out of the climate controlled garage, the windows completely fogged, on the outside. I went to turn on the wipers which I have never used, and low and behold.... they did not work. I had to get a rag and wipe the windhsield dry. It was like soup outside.

Thanks Tom,

I enjoy having open roads at my doorstep, but NOT in winter. That's where YOU guys all win big. As long as we get out and drive once in a while that's the important thing!

William (Does 185) certainly knows what I mean in Indianapolis. Gotta drive when the weather will let you.

That particular road is not even half a mile from my house and I find it a nice picture background location. These are from last fall after a brief rain storm just before dusk. No deer in the fields that day, however.
