Hi,

Talked my wife into taking another Saturday afternoon cruise.

This one was about 150 miles round trip with a stop midway at Lowe's, Menard's, and a fast food Italian restaurant in the next state over west (Iowa). ;D

At Lowe's, the guy parked next to us wanted to trade his family van even up for the brad!

And while we were eating at the restaurant , a couple of young people working there went over to the window to check out the Bradley, and wanted to know all about it. And before we left the restaurant, a couple of guys in a PT Cruiser pulled into the parking lot, got out and took pictures of the Brad, then got back in their PT Cruiser and left!

The brad is blast to go cruising in and sure draws a lot of attention along the way! ;D

Gary Hammond,

I just returned the favor, because you are so willing to help everyone with your vast Bradley experience! ;D It's sad we've lost all the good advice you posted on the old board! Gary Hammond,

Hi, Gary,

Thanks, back.

I have a little more time to respond to posts than I did before, so lost items shouldn't be a problem. Most of it comes up on a regular basis anyway, and it's all on the CD, which most members already have.

Still driving the car every day, and it's now past 625K. Just did another 100 miles + yesterday to visit my friend Dennis. We bead blasted a load of kart and engine parts. Dennis is an old buddy who has what's left of my black flame body after the accident, and another GT that he drives regularly.

Wish your grandson could have driven one of the race karts around the track at Quincy, but maybe we can do a replay next year. I'm sure he's ready after those killer Pedal Ponies you built. Ever think of putting a small, governed four-stroke engine in one of them? There's a kid rush for sure!

Be well, my friend.

Warmest...

The ponies were just small "rocking horses" not pedal cars.

BUT, when I finally get around to making a motorized car for them, I plan to make it a half scale Bradley GT!!! ;D

And let me know when you'll be back in the area. A Quincy "REPLAY" sounds great! ;D

regards,
Gary Hammond,
