Good day gentlemen. It is a distinct honor to be included in this group of Packard luminaries. And how flattering to have a handsome man wish I had a clone....oh wait, or did you mean the car??? Well, being a lady I shall assume you meant me for the time being.

But, enough about me, more about the car. I love this car! I have added it to the registry for those of you who want the details (Mal: you can rest easy tonight - TW). It was a thrill to drive on my birthday. Especially when the car hesitated and stalled on the upside of a very steep hill in rush hour traffic, which is when I discovered the emergency brake isn't adjusted quite well enough to keep the call from rolling. Fortunately, the fine help from my personal Packard Paddock minion (we-aim-to-serve, ask-your-supervisor Tom) I learned about the throttle knob. Restarted the car while keeping one foot on the brake pedal and applying the queen's wave to passing cars, we got it started and headed home. Yippee!

More on our little adventure with stalling and hesitating, soon.

Cheers,
Laurie
