You guys sure do pick on Howie a lot..............


Kim, do you suppose you could do one of your burnouts for us at the Gibb show? One in the grass would be fine anyway since we still won't be able to see the black rubber tracks........

I don't know about "self-unloading" but I do recall pretty close to "self-LOADING" on the icy hill. Remember, Kim?

Oh yeah, also found the floor pan to cowl ext panels for that car. I'll bring 'em to LaHarpe if I can remember.

You know, when I recall all the 'loading/unloading' stories involving Mr. Howie, I can't help but think that maybe, if only for the future preservation of his historic vehicles, we should all offer to do those tasks FOR him. Just give the poor guy a cold beer, point him to the closest shade tree, and we'll take care of the cars!
I mean; what's next? Loading it in the wrong trailer????????

Awwww but think of the stories when generations of future buyers track the history of this car and hear about these "Cristine" stories. It will add so much more to the cars history.

If it gets loaded into the wrong trailer, I hope it is ours.

As Bruce said, we'se all love ya shortcakes!

The car "she" does have mind of her own. I now own a winch.
No problem unloading her now??

Dave, The loading of the Z-28 didn't bother me half as bad as siding down your hill. I had the brakes locked on the truck & the trailer brake locked & slid all the way to the bottom. That was scary.
