Peter, these are gorgeous.
Agree
Spring is coming!
Thanks, Guys. I had just finished my class work for the week, when I saw the tulips were blooming. It was fun to spend a few minutes photographing them, which is a rare luxury at the moment.
Attachment 213338It snows once every couple of winters in Tucson, so it's a happy event when it does happen. Last month the snow melted within an hour in town, but stayed for a few days up on the peaks of the Santa Catalinas. Here's an example of what it looked like at home- made with an iPhone.
Mark... we didn't get one snowflake at our house on the west side.
Which engine in that beauty?
'Via' carries her original Volvo B-18 4-cyl; rated at 115hp in 1966. The previous owner replaced the original twin SU carbs with a 2-choke downdraft Weber, which probably won't make any difference in power.
Short story is that I inherited the car from the estate of my oldest friend, who'd owned it for 21 years; the last ten of which it spent in his gravel-floored, falling-down garage in Rochester NY. It came west on a truck, and it's only lately that I have any money to throw at it. So it will be a project for a while- but i hope to have her running in a couple of weeks. And the snow melted in less than an hour!
