Was chatting with a member here after I sent him the gear calc I made...

and realized that it's been 11 years since I drove a Bronco down the road...Last time I was in a seat was November of '02 when I bought my current project. I drove it off the trailer and into the back yard shelter to be torn apart...

God I'm getting itchy to turn the key again...

3 years. and when I did get to drive it I only got to drive it 1 mile. Thats the only time I ever drove any bronco. It was fun tho, wasnt used to the shift pattern and lit the tires up the first time I dropped the clutch and I enjoyed every second. Cant wait to drive it again... time to get back to work

It's been the same for me, about 10-11 years. I had motor problems and one thing led to another.... Down to the frame. Now I'm slowly putting it back together. I get alot of "when are you going to have your Bronco at the Roundup?" Next year.

Last time I drove a Bronco was during the 07 Spring Roundup in WV, drove Lou's buggy but it was on the trail. Last road driven was Kyle's when I took it to work to do some paint work. It's not the same when it's not YOURS.

Someday I'll drive mine, again... I hope. A whole bunch of people I know will be surprised that's for sure!
Not a record I'm trying to make but we seem to be in competition for it.

I'll win this one! After 10 years of St. Louis salted roads, I parked my 73 in the garage to fix the door posts. I think it was the fall of 1983....and I finally got to drive it to this years Fawl Crawl. You just can't imagine the feeling of driving your first car all over again!

If you're talking about ANY Bronco, it was a test drive about 2 weeks ago.

If you're talking about MY Bronco...well, that would be NEVER :-[ :-[ :-[

After 1 1/2 years in my driveway, I got it running good this pass summer and have been driving it on a regular basis. I love it. It's awesome to drive her again. Hopefully it keeps running good because I'm broke. If anything major happens it's going to sit in my driveway for another 1 1/2 years.
