  • Big Red is Back!

    Just had to share the news that I have my Big Red back. A big thanks goes out to FB71 (Jim in photos) whose expertise brought Big Red back to life and to PU241 (John) for arranging everything. These two guys are the best! I can't wait to attend the Ohiostiva and Festiva Madness get togethers.

      So, for about the same price as a fully-loaded 1993 Ford Festiva, you could also wield the power to obliterate a small village in the blink of an eye.

              Thanks everyone! I just took Big Red to a Virginia inspection station this morning. I'm not anticipating any problems but you never know......

              Thered56, I really don't know what Jim had to do to Big Red. I'm waiting on a list from him now, but I know it was a lot. I'm one of those people who drives a car not knowing what makes it run except gas, so I'm pretty much clueless as to the mechanics. I'll add the repair information when I get it.

              25Horseplay, I'm really looking forward to meeting you as well since I feel as if I know you already.

                  Well, Big Red passed the VA inspection so we are on the road again! I have been without Big Red for quite a while, so can't wait to take a road trip to the get togethers this fall!

                    Congrats!

                    Hopefully, Big Red gets to live in that garage in the background of the pics you posted.

                        Yes, that appears to be it!
                        I'm sure Big Red would appreciate it.
                        Should be enough room if your careful how you park it.
                        But might have to crawl in and out the driver side window or maybe the back hatch.
