Too bad if so. I have a set of blues on mine. I like them pretty well. John was good to work with.

big al,  yes i remember ray,    so very sorry for your loss.      could your daughter have moved to MN?     pretty good company from what i know of them,   lots of folks here working for them.      some of my hockey buddies have organized zoom meetings for when we would normally be on the ice     i am too old and cranky for it,   told them if this hangs on until june 1 i will jump in.     i have been watching classic car prices,  usually when the economy falters lots of folks selling off and prices drop.  no evidence of this just yet.     later  jim

Jim: Doing O K, moved off the lake 1 1/2 years ago, nice shop here, 32 x 18, keeps me busy

A little pissed @ your 3M, my grand daughter worked for them in their Corporate HQ here in London, Ontario  for 12 years and last year got down sized out of her Purchasing job, $125k a year, gone because 3M had a bad year and on top of that her boyfriend Ray Emery drowned, as a hockey fan you may well remember Ray, one tough M F

Hey Al, all is quiet here the last day you could walk into ER dad age 97 and I with his bride 85 spent
6 hours with 50 others in waiting room. Next day he spent 3 hours there as I sat in parking lot
waiting for a call, which came as a "he is OK we are sending him home in medical transport." From there
it was tents and all kind of test to get back in. He spent 2 weeks with a fractured hip trying to arrange
an x ray of his hip. I found some one who would take one, could not read it but take it yes. She took  a
cell pic of screen and texted to hospital I got a call within minutes to bring him in for a hip replacement.
All done he is learning to walk stairs again. I had him taken to my home as falling twice in as many days
 where he was living was not working. Kids doing online college classes from home is a huge help. Steve (CTR)

Those were great springs.

Ran the Blues on a 2 Mokes, a Cabrio, and the Pick-up.

Red on my Fast Road Mini.

The green were only suitable for tarmac racing.

I always thought old cars were expensive......then I got an ex-wife Yell

I don't think he is still doing the S racer thing. I think we got the last set of red springs he had. I do have a set of S racer reds.
