Hi Guscha, Yep. That is still me. Was a very cool time at Speedwell Garage. Got some packard seat time, and also a feel for what a maintained, lubed and adjusted packard feels and drives like. Things like windows that easily crank up and down, brakes that have actually very little pedal travel when adjusted properly, and driving a car with overdrive were all 'firsts' for me. Got two or three handfulls of parts for my clipper, and also got to discuss certain repair/rebuild procedures I have coming up.
Was very much worth the trip. fyi look out for ticks if you are taking parts off the 'packards in the weeds'
Still trying to get over my jet lag after returning to Germany :-/
