Hello to all,

Plans for my trip are coming along. I have included the UK in my trip. I will take a ferry across the English channel from France , drive and meet fellow Corvette owners in UK, and put the car on a boat for the US from the western coast of England.

It should be exciting to drive on the left side of the road, really exciting :rock:

How is the weather ? I have been looking at the web cam from Nordkapp and have not seen the sun yet....much clouds.....

In August, what will the weather be like on my road south to Finland.....

Should I really make sure my weatherstrip works to keep the rain out.

I have installed a third latch on my 66....it has stopped all the leaks from the bow in the middle of the windshield...I thought of it before my 48 state trip.....I put up with water for 40 years before..

Here are some pictures of how it did it. If you have a c1 or c2 it works great. GM put in a third latch starting in 1968

You can get the latch for about $14 from McMaster-Car online
