My older 4 Monte Carlos (1972, 1976, 1979, 1981) FINALLY made their 2009 debut, Sunday, June 14, after my hernia-repair-forced "rest" the last weekend of May (a GORGEOUS weekend, btw) and a rainy first weekend of June. All 4 of them started with NO problems, and that day, I drove each of them ~30 miles.
And, with drives, Monday, June 29 (an extra day off due to the MC Nationals), Friday, July 3 (July 4 Holiday weekend), and Sunday, July 5, of ~30, ~50, and ~45 miles respectively, I've now driven each of them OVER 150 miles already this year ... with a LOT more driving to be done!
Unfortunately, none of them were driven to Collinsville IL (near St Louis MO) for the MC Nationals ... the older 4 MCs had not been safety checked yet [they all had their "annual checkup" early the week of July 6] and my daily driver '87 MC LS/CL needs new tires before another longer trip on the highways. BUT ... I WAS there ... and had a WONDERFUL time with great people and, of course, awesome Monte Carlos ... 104 of them in the show field. I posted pics to the newly-created NMCOA group on Facebook.... I know I missed meeting some people....
