I can't agree they drive like "trucks," since I drive a fire truck several times a week and know the difference. If you ever get in my area, give me a call and I'll give you a chance with a Gull Wing, no lights or siren though.

How far are you from Buffalo? Did you happen to go to the Gullwing Group convention at Niagara on the Lake? Quite a while ago but I was there with the '61 hard top car.

I lost track of this thread back in April, so I didn't see the question to me regarding the M100 club.

What happened last year was pretty sad and very annoying. The club needed to do a website upgrade and they got snookered into joining up with a company that hosts clubs for a small fee based on membership. The board decided to go with it due to ongoing issues with the old forum software.

Within a few weeks, they discovered that only paid members of the club could post. At that point, it was too late. Somewhere early this year, they figured out how to fix that problem. But the damage was done, the traffic to the site is down to about zero. The M100 facebook page gets far more hits and updates.

Having said that, hows your car?
