Re: anti-freeze leak/car show/boy toys...

About our previous post regarding the minor anti-freeze leak... no, it's not
from under the intake manifold. (Further comments are always welcome).

The reason I say "minor" leak, is because I first noticed 1 drop on a pan
under the car while it was parked on the carpeting in the grand ballroom of
The Ritz Carlton Hotel for 24 hours.

For the next 3 1/2 days the car was parked in The America's Center for the
"World of Wheels" show and the spot of anti-freeze left behind on the pan
was probably the size of a quarter.

Let me tell you... the ISCA judges were tough! They said I would have won
1st place if the engine compartment had been a little cleaner and not
leaking OIL! I begged to differ about an oil leak, it was anti-freeze, and
although we weren't there to argue with the judge, he was nice enough to go
over and check it out with my engine compartment housekeeper (Ron). It
seems as though the engine compartment was spotless from the top down, but
from the bottom up it didn't pass the white glove treatment since it was
driven there instead of trailered! BTW, I won 2nd place, but I'll never
understand how I got 22 points out of a possible 25 points FOR PAINT!!!!!

one, and he has another with only 18 miles that he'll probably sit on until
he can get $30k for it. He's in Toledo, Ohio if anyone wants his phone
number.

On another subject, I know all about "Boy Toys"... my Dad owns an Antique
Toy Museum, but remember, they're "Girl Toys" too!!!!! I get so much
enjoyment from sharing my passion of the car with others, even when I lose
my voice every weekend from answering questions during events! The
strangest question that I've ever been asked was something like... "That's a
girl car, isn't it?" and it was the only time I've ever been at a loss for
words! I wonder what she meant by that????

See ya...
