That'll do Oroville a lot of good.

Oroville is up north.

We hope not. The dam level was dropped 50 feet.

Well we're copping it as I blog winds, rain, and really wet out. http://www.localconditions.com/weather-sonoma-california/95476/traffic.php Covers whole state interactively some roads closed now in the North. Including real time camera (blue icon) shots of traffic.

Aktungbby's new car/boat

^Hey I'm still a classic kind of guy!

I still see these launch from time to time at Monterey Harbor!

Quote:

The Amphicar was built in Berlin Germany. The years of production were 1961 to 1968. The production totaled 3,878 vehicles before it was shut down. Of these, 3,046 Amphicars were imported into the United States
between 1961 and 1967.
The Amphicar was the only civilian amphibious passenger automobile ever to be mass produced. It uses a rear mounted 4 cylinder British-built Triumph Herald motor producing 43hp. The Amphicar's electric system was supplied by Lucas and is a 12 volt positive ground system.
Some of the components were made by other manufacturers such as Hella and Bosch.
The Amphicar has a top speed of 70 mph on land water and 7 mph on water. I've been told that was where the model 770 came from. The land transmission was a 4 speed plus reverse and the water transmission was a 2 speed transmission that was only used in the Amphicar. It had one forward speed and one reverse. The water
and land transmission could be run separately or together. This came in handy when launching or retrieving the car from the water.
The front wheels acted as rudders while the car was in the water. It was propelled by two nylon propellers.

What I really want....and can still get...inflation not withstanding!

These two at $105 K. this one (in CA) at $42,500 (The color is certainly right & there's a boat # too!)>

Powered by Triumph no less but neither a good car, nor a good boat overall.

Dry but 37 is still closed

as of this posting!

I know that all too well since I've been going there a lot over the past few weeks after mom passed away. It's getting very old but a least the sun is out today over San Rafael.

It's truly amazing how far back the cars stack up at Atherton exit and 37 even when traffic is light.
