You may think my weekend sounds a little more glamorous but it ain't all its cracked up to be.
Today is my Birthday and I spent it on my own driving 60 miles to a small car show in a place called Boynton Beach, Florida (see my other post)
There was also a Mopar show but it was 3 hours away but I should have gone!
Weather has been perfect today, clear blue skies and about 25 degrees.
Called to Advanced Autoparts on the way back to pick up some Accel leads for my Duster.
Tomorrow I am off to Ft Lauderdale for an all makes show hosted by the Corvette club of America, and possibly a second one a bit further North at Deerfield Beach, Florida.
It keeps me busy and I get to experience the world, but being away from home gets to you sometimes!
But at least I can gather all my parts for the Duster!
Getting really tempted to clear lacquer it as it is for this year, any opinions appreciated!
Cheers

does it even need clear coating ??? looks good enough as is wax it up regular less work if you are one day going to paint it ??

Doesn't seem like a bad birthday to me, under the Florida sunshine and buying bits for the car. Beats blighty in my book.
