story (non diving) of my 5513.
We had a 1970 Plymouth Custom Suburban station wagon with a 383 4bbl. It was loaded with my seven month pregnant wife, two daughters, and our dog.
We saw a bunch of sport cars grouped and stopped to see what was going on. It was a sports car rally.
I asked of we could enter and they said yes. A number was put on our window and we were told to drive the course with our lights on. I did not have a stop watch or clip board and my wife was the navigator.
I used the 5513 bezel to time our sections. And we came in third! That really pissed off some of the people who were entered, but we had a blast.

Funny stories.
Do you think it's too much to ask for at least a pic of the 1970 Plymouth Custom Suburban station wagon with a 383 4bbl? ;)

Not too much to ask, but it is long gone.

Hah… I can't say that I am not enjoying these random stories. Keep 'em coming!

Steal the 5513 back from your daughter for a few minutes to take pics, so we can all see how it has been keeping up after these crazy excursions of yours
