Here's some of my promised pictures. Bill (riding with Ron has a TR7 Sprint but car wasn't ready) isn't on this forum (yet). Stopped into Port Townsend to see Classic Car shop of memorabilia and have lunch. Overnight in Shelton. Next morning Ron had intermittent parking lights (electric choke active), got it sorted (sort of). Slideshow of the trip:

Coming back we were stuck behind a Volks van, horse trailer and two other cars on a winding road, I had dropped back a bit to adjust the cassette player when Ron went flying past on a rare straight, said he was going about a 110 mph (no speedo) by the tach. Next couple of straights were short and traffic coming the other way. third one was medium length and floored it to pass the line and catch up to Ron, don't know how fast I was going as the (US) speedo was pegged by the time I pulled back in at the end of straight and was soon behind him.

Spoils of the weekend (something to eat my pork 'n' beans off of (I already have the beer mugs from previous years for the beer), I think it was Ken that said he asked some one he knew with a TR7 why he didn't bring it out and the guy said because that black car wins every time. Won't happen when some one with a new paint job and cleaned up engine bay shows up against my original 20 foot paint:
