Papa's Toys / Tranny show May 8, 2010 05:34 PM
(Total replies: 0)
I couldn't make the Tranny show, but I did drive out to Papa's Toys. The day was stellar, warm and clear , the cars were just great, and from all over. Salem, eastern Oregon and the Coast ... Like PIR on Wednesday night only way better. In fact I spent 3 hours just in the parking lot and never did go in the building. After a couple of hours, some of the cars were leaving and more were still arriving . So the show was continually changing . I will do it again next year and this time I well go inside and see the additional 175 show cars. LOL My yellow Z was the only Z in the show. And there were many people checking the old girl out too ! Ha ha Gary

Thanks Arne. By the way you Z looks great on the January page of our Calendar . I think I have the correct boot , just over 7' long. But no retainer . I will make something. I have been wrestling with my disabler since the tranny change. Couple of things got messed up. I think I have it sorted out now and should have it fixed tomorrow. Hope the weather will be OK for the Polar Bear Cruise. Have they been 'sanding' the roads much down your way? I will be in touch. thanks , Gary

Are there more than one Size ? The one I bought from MSA is much longer than the opening in the tranny tunnel. I am wondering if I was sent one for a 280 instead of for an 240. Before I start cutting the metal away I thought I would ask. Thanks, Gary
