Yes, I use to hang out with the people who own this car. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1627686184.jpg
We spent a lot of time drinking on this car, plus when Jax was in line for a Super bowl bid, they used it to take VIPs to the Super Bowl in I think New Orleans.

Other than daytime excursions and dinner trains there are not many options. The Rocky Mountaineer is now running more modern equipment in Colorado and Utah but you spend nights in hotels along the way. Operations like Pullman Rail Journeys was in business for a while but then not. It may have started up again. There are a number of private cars for charter but they are usually quite costly. If you have a group of like minded friends to split the cost with it is still pricey. There is an organization of private car owners, some of which will charter cars that you can hang on the back end of AMTRAK trains.

Thanks. My wife loves period TV, and watches a bunch of British mysteries. She'd love to go on a train ride (think "orient express") with the cool old cars, dining cars, etc.... I've been assuming that sort of thing is pretty rare.

My old truck and my wife's car both expired a couple of weeks ago. This weekend we both got our new to us used cars.

Hers a 2015 Prius with 57,000 miles, mine a 2012 Infinity G37X (AWD) with 102,000 miles. They cost roughly the same.

The Infinity G37X is an incredible car, not sure why it's been such a secret to me before now.

Test drove a Chrysler Crossfire, rev limiter on 1st and 2nd gear made the car no fun.

Despite the G37X being an automatic it launches like a rocket and just as good passing trucks on the highway - too much fun.

Considered a second generation Audi TT, but I sobered up just in time.

Selling my old gravely. I dont use it enough to keep it. Plus its freaking dangerous. Got it for free from a neighbor a few years ago. I hit a rock the size of a softball and it threw it 50 feet. The old blade on it exploded and cut gashes in the deck 6" long through 1/8" plate. Its an older rope start model converted to electric. Its cool but it can go away

Sold my old DR Brush mower ($400) from the late '80s/early 90s. It was great but took a real brutish effort to manuever on my property. I bought a string mower I like much better.

Hope you didn't have to make that call Steve!

I've been working on a gazebo build at a buddies house, back in the trees a ways I found this, it was "stored" face down by his FIL probably 40 years ago.
I was just thinking recently another metal storage container for flammables might be a good idea... maybe this could work

Patina level is acceptable, door still opens, no A/C components left in the down below, that could also be storage...
Staged for a good cleaning and full assessment/pimping up and out.

That looks a lot like a later model Roof. Do you suppose there is a connection between the Roof Company and DR?

You’ll need to do something about that mechanical door latch.

The tag on it identified it as a DR Field and Brush Mower. Do't know if there's a connection between DR & Roof. Other than being old, it worked like a new one. I still have the Assembly & Operator's Manual as a PDF.
