4AD Motor City spring meeting

Post by Motown Singer »

You all should have been there.

Bill Howerth came over to my house with a spare 4AD starter. The cool part is that he brought it over in his 1965 Shelby GT350.

Didn't need the starter, as all my 1953 4AD needed was freeing the jammed starter by the nut on the back. Bill tells me that our little jewel boxes share the same starter with a Triumph GT6. Perfect.

We blasted around the block, clearing the carbon out of the 4AD. My 5.00-5.25 x 16 Excelsiors squealed in delight.

Bill agreed that the swanky new wine bar in my neighborhood would be just fine, so we blasted (that word again!) up to Cork! on legendary Woodward Avenue in his Shelby. We each had tomato basil soup and pan-seared chicken risoitto. I had Rose' and Bill drank scotch.

Bill mumbled something about hosting the Mad Dod & Englishmen Singer outing. Bravo.

No new business was discussed. So here goes....

For the MD&E show proper, how about inviting the Michigan Sunbeam Alpine & Tiger guys to park with us? They seem pretty inclusive to us Singer-O- philes...
