Haven't you educated them yet .
I concur re: the Ford electrics and spare everything on board .
The RACV here has a roadside service for vintage cars . It's a special deal or plan you sign up to . All you need is a mobile phone to call them , but if a tow truck is needed , I think they pay for a certain number of kilometers , then you pay for the rest of the trip . Still, its peace of mind I guess . Ideally , it would be sensible to travel with another vehicle in convoy , but these days people are so busy and times need to be co-ordinated .
I cannot wait for the new club reg. system to come in . 90 days of driving , the C8 will be on the road again , even if its only into town to turn heads and give it a run .

Hi Mike
The staging pictures are just our club people, and after 30 years of showing up at events with my BEAST they are well familiar and tend to gather around the new arrivals. However the crowds really appreciate the HUP and my co-driver the Canadian Uniformed Bear who waves. People see the bear in the normal drivers seat and think it is a person in bear costume waving at them then they realize it is a stuffed bear.
As to the tow service we have a similar thing through one of the antique car insurance companies which is fine for the HUP but they haven’t worked out all the details for a 3 ton with radio box on the back.
Cheers Phil
