Re: I'm stuck in a parking lot - starter relay?

[Jim Altemose <jaltemoose@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, we had a good time.

With the shorting of the 2 blade terminals and turning the key, I got
it to start.  Thanks for the tip.  That let me drive to Napa to get a
new relay.  Problem solved.  Threw me a couple hours behind schedule,
but no big.

I took my 8 year old up to 6 Flags New England.  Long Island to
Springfield Mass. by way of Port Jeff / Bridgeport ferry across the
Long Island Sound.  150 car miles or so.

It was great meeting Nick.  His two 63 Fury's are AWESOME.  Both so
clean I'd feel dirty eating off them.  One's a beautiful Max Wedge;
really really nice.  The others a white 318 Poly which Nick drove up
to the show.  It was the first time he fired it up for the season and
it started right up instantly.  I followed him and I'm here to tell
you it sounded strong.  I have a new found appreciation for Polys.
Nick also had a beautiful barn / man cave dedicated to it with cool
stuff everywhere.  After seeing Nick's nicely displayed 100 or so
trophies, now my kid wants one ;)

Fun stuff.
