Nice, is that oxford white?

No, it is Keweenau white. The original colour!
(...and a lot of varnish)
The flash light changed it a little....

Does look very good. Did you use Sikkens paint or Dupont?

Jori Rintamaki · Post by **Jori Rintamaki** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 4:50 pm

It is Spieshecker from Germany.
I only use this. It is more expensive
than Sikkens or Dupont but it is also little
better, I think.
We have use Spieshecker for a years.
Also the varnish is Spieshecker.

Isn't that funny....before I noticed the car, I noticed the !!SNOW!!

Their seasons must be advanced ahead of us, at least 6 weeks...i'd guess.

BTW, the car looks great. Where did obtain your new roof from? Hank Huismam @ ascMcLaren.com ?

Jori, I am in New Jersey, about 20 miles from New York City. Yesterday (Saturday) we were holding at 64 degrees & vibrantly sunny. I saw several converts with top down.

Now, it's true that IS UNusual for November 1st - But the calendar says that it's STILL Autumn (Fall) !!

Yes, all the parts are from Mr. Huisman.
The top, embless, trims and etc....

The snow comes in the beginning of Novenber and
go away in March. So, we have snow something about
4-5 months. Last winter we had snow 3 1/2 months.

It is ok. when you use to this but some mornings
when you open the door and there is one meter snow
behind your door and -30C it is enough for all.

After few years we can stop the business here in Finland
and after that we´ll move to Indiana, New Mexico or
somewhere warmer place.

You have family/friends in Indiana, USA ?
It's a nice state.

Thanks for sending the new pix. Car looks very, very nice. New top looks great.

I live in Pennsyvania and about a week ago, 15 inches of snow fell in the Pocono area about one hour north of us. Luckily, we are on the other side of the mountain and as Sandy said beautiful weather yesterday. And today we have another warm, sunny day. Our winter can be as long as yours.

What kink of business do you have over there?

It is very different that you maybe think.
We have a private hospital and home for
mental handicaps. The cars are only my hobby.
After two years my daughter take our business
and we are free....

We have friends in Colorado, Denver and we also
know people in Indiana. They told us that weather
in Indiana is mostly great.
We have been in Colorado many times and we also like
this area very much.
Last summer we was also in Santa Fe and it was very nice
place. We met there people from Finland and many people
from Europe. The houses in Santa Fe looks nice....different.

Anyway...I like warm weather and the sun!
