Hang in there Bob . . . get on the road, think about your girl, smile about the great fun and experiences you shared and get some new 'windshield time' under your belt! You'll be glad you did . . .

I am sure it will bring back a flood of memories and if you happen to shed a tear that is OK. She will be right there with you in your heart.

Thanks so much folks, there is such a caring community here, as well as ford info.
Its so very nice to have such caring people here.I really do appreciate it.
I had a nice drive, only a short trip out to a country town ,33 went great, hummed along at 50-55 mph no drama,.
first time in a while it has been away with out the caravan and it sure goes good and on the hills .
I was going to stop at a cafe for coffee there, but decided to head straight back, so I stopped for smoko, ( coffee break) from my thermos and fed the crows one of my home made scones, they sure liked that.
I think in the US a scone is a biscuit .
In this hard time for me the 33 sure is a good remedy.
thanks again.
I will be taking the 33 out to another very small town,Mt Larcom, for a parade on sat morning with another mate ,he is taking his 30 Model A Tudor.
smoko is provided.Lol

There comes a time in everyone's life when the most important thing one has is their memories. I'm sure your wife would want you to continue touring in the 33 and what a great way to preserve the memories of the wonderful times you had together.
