At James Duff for 5 years: 1st day Driving My Own Bronco!

[LUBr LuvR]

May it be just the first of many (safe) trips. Somehow I’m always in a better frame of mind the days the Bronco goes to work with me......

As the title says:

I have been with James Duff for five years now. In that time, I have had the privilege of learning from the best in the game. And, they even pay me for it!

In the past few years, I have been fortunate to build/revive/correct/refurbish roughly 20 Early Broncos, a few Bronco II's, and a Full Size Bronco through my shop. Thank you to all of my customers, past and present.

You patronage has finally allowed me to own my own Early Bronco (I own BroncLo, too...but the motorcycle crash put him years into the future before I can build him.), MACK the Halfcab (build thread on Classic, as well).

Long story short, TODAY, I got to drive MY OWN BRONCO to work for the first time!

This is a big day for me (personally) and for my shop (professionally). MACK has a way to go before "daily driver" will be accurate. But, I am proud to say that the 23 mile (one way) trip was without issue...EXCEPT:

While waiting to turn left at the second to last red light before work, an IDIOT in a champagne NISSAN Pathfinder (or maybe XTerra) just had to "beat the light" for a right turn. His speed was such that he skidded across three lanes, went up on two wheels, and cam within inches of broadsiding me right in the driver door.

Thankfully, it didn't result in a collision.

The pictures are of MACK, tucked (hopefully) safely away in his parking space at James Duff Inc.

Thank you, again, to everyone who helped make this day happen!

Congratulations, my friend!!

Looking forward to seeing you (and Mack) as always in April!
