Recently, Tom Wesenberg complained about the summer heat here in Missouri and I couldn't think of an appropriate comeback, other than I wish he and we had some of it now. Here is a moment, documented by my son, Colin, from the summer of '07 showing how I deal with the heat. I grew up hauling hay (square bales) in this high heat and humidity, so the heat doesn't bother me, but it seems I'm never prepared for the cold. Missouri is relatively featureless in this part of the state, unlike the beautiful Ozarks to the south east. I hope this makes you forget about the cold for a minute.

Nice video, are you running an Aeroscreen or did you make the Windscreens?

They're automotive folding racing windshields that are inexpensive from olympic-speedesters.com. Are aeroscreens a brand, or a type? I think anything aircraft related is great.

I believe Aeroscreen to be an old brand, used on vintage Brittish Racers. They look a lot like yours. I will look ay Olympic's. Thx.

Nice car and video but the scenery makes me glad I don't live back there any more.
