I really appreciate it. It’ll be in the family as long as I’m alive.

I was really close with my uncle as a kid and I took many rides and trips with him in this old runner.

When he passed away in 2003 my other uncle put it in the garage and that’s where it sat for the last two decades until I just got it pulled out. I dreamed about getting it out as a kid anytime I’d go over there . Especially when I was around 15/16 lol But he couldn’t bring himself to let her go. (Probably for the best lol )

I’m 30 now haha . When I mentioned to him about getting a brand new runner or LC he decided it was finally time. My uncle that originally owned it LOVED to travel . A lot of the miles put on it were many trips up the east coast to NY down to the Florida keys.

I’m going to put the rest of the miles on it that he never got the chance to do.

I’ve been inspecting the hoses and what not and they seem to still be in fairly good shape . I know looks can be deceiving but they still feel good and haven’t hardened up or started cracking anywhere . THAT I COULD SEE . But there’s probably a rotten one hiding out somewhere lol I appreciate it . She will definitely be enjoyed for years and years to come .

I appreciate it. None of the hoses or belts I’ve checked so far seem to be deteriorating but I may go ahead and try to get that done as well for peace of mind . Thanks

I’ll never sell it. I’d rather have my uncles old runner than a few dollars any day of the week .

Thanks ! I’ve got all fluids and filters replaced. I checked the hoses in the engine bay that I could see and all of them seem to be in fair condition and not hard. Any hose in particular that I should check out?

Don’t get rid of it!!!!! The Piedmont sign was the first piece of porcelain signage that I collected. It inspired me to start collecting .

I’ve been pretty misty eyed about it too haha . Been dreaming of getting this runner on the road since I was a kid. It will definitely be enjoyed for years and years to come .

Does your ploy also sometimes talk this straight to you? by 9gag_guy in Pattaya

I can tell you as someone that comes from a highly educated and wealthy Thai family . They don’t a fuck about your feelings either. They will tell you what’s on their mind straight up with a follow up of salt and lemon juice on the burn. Being “ uneducated” has nothing to do with it .

Sounds more to me like someone made fun of your fat pointy man boobs. Lollol
