In case you hadn't deduced it already, Samarkand was the name Enrico bestowed upon his SD455 Formula when he bought it in 1973. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif[/img]

Had a post-Christmas "garage day" and got everything running and warmed up since it was almost 60 degrees and sunny here today. Took the SD out for a spin and it seems like everyone else had the same idea as well. Hanging out at Al's Auto Care in Flemington with a 1970 Challenger R/T, a 1966 Charger, a 1965 Buick Riviera GS with 421 and dual quads (in the garage bay).

And then took another ride around to look at the scenery. She drove very nicely today.
I forgot how much fun it is to ride in a 310 horse open sleigh. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Sorry about that. Math was never my strongpoint. At least I had two of the three numbers right! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

Well, come on up. Right now it's warmer up here in Joysey than down there in Arizona. I just emailed with Enrico and he said it was in the 40's-50's in Scottsdale where he lives.

Went out to the garage today and to see if any of the cars would start. Amazingly, everything cranked right up! Gramma's 1975 Firebird, Grampa's 1971 Lincoln, my old '93 Viper race car, and the SD Firebird. I let them all run for around 40 minutes while I attempted to shovel out a canyon in the ice/snow in front of the garage so the melting ice would flow off the driveway this week. The temps are supposed to be in the upper 40's after being in the single digits for the past few months. Come on Spring!!!! 12 days to go! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
