January cruising in the 65
« on: January 07, 2019, 07:17:52 AM »
It was sunny, dry, and 60 deg in Mocksville yesterday after having many weeks of rain, so decided to get the 65GS out and drive it to church yesterday.

Dear Brian and mid-60s Buick owners who are already tired of winter, . . . .

It was sunny, dry, and 60 deg in Mocksville yesterday after having many weeks of rain, so decided to get the 65GS out and drive it to church yesterday.

I'm glad your GS finally got some exercise after been cooped up for so long!  Thanks for sharing the picture!  :hello2:

Cheers, Edouard  :occasion14:

Very nice Brian.  It's nearly 50 degrees here right now, but raining, windy and dark.  Supposed to have snow later this week. I'm just jealous.... :laughing7:

Thanks for sharing!

Jim, I play the Beach Boys quite a bit while working in the shop.  It's become second nature for my brain to hear 401!  Sing it proudly!
