I’m pleased to announce the arrival of Ethan James Alexander Head at 12.20pm yesterday 11/4/21 in Christchurch NZ. Mother and son are doing well.

As you may imagine, Fiona is delighted.

Hi all,

James and Nikki just informed Fiona and me that we’re going to have a grandson Ethan Alexander Head (?) Surname yet to be decided.

Probably in April.

I said I’d let everyone know so now I have.

Cheers all

John

Apologies for a non mopar thread, but I’m wondering whether a 74-76 Mercury Cougar with the 460 V8 would be a nice “moderately sized” hobby car for me in NZ in a few years once finances are available?

I fondly remember the 460 in my 78 Lincoln Continental Mark V- so smooth and effortless, would it be good in the Cougar or too big???

Am I right to presume these models are not too expensive to buy and parts are available?

All opinions positive or negative welcome.

Fiona and I learned yesterday that her youngest son Jsmes and partner Nikki are expecting their first child, probably next March, making us grandparents.for the first time.

Going to be interesting as I never had kids and never expected to be a grandfa…

I’m a little early but I’d like to wish all of you in the US a happy 244th birthday.

Not to forget (though I did) A belated happy Canada day for earlier this week.

Have a burger and beer for me.

Just saw a news story on the Midland Michigan Floods and hope none of our members or their families and friends are affected.

Thinking of everyone and wishing you all well.

Was it common for buyers to order “triple colored” vehicles? I know triple black is desirable if not pretty rare, and we’ve had “triple pickle” several times, just wondered or whether “most” buyers went for a contrast.
