Edit: repost for the afternoon crowd. => Ok so as I laid out about my !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I took the Torchbug to Downeast Maine for a pretty epic Labor Day weekend. Here is the weekend in all of it's glory. Torchbug had better be over 21 though, otherwise I am in trouble.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
I think this was the best shot taken with the Torchbug. On the tail end of the "Pirate mobile"
On a product of Portland, the Atlantic Stove company enameled antique wood stove
Seen on the drive Down East...no idea what it is
Alot of the following are my girlfriends father's cars. I pulled out the Torchbug when I could. Although later in the day he was professing his love for the Beetle
in his back 40
so sad about this 2 door Trooper II. Damn shame it was left to rot after the head gasket popped
Also sad sad Nomad
Random Vette hubcap
Want
grabbing some corn for a lobster feast
Old International pickup
Torchbug is assisting getting the cooking fire going
the Downeast beverage of choice for lobstermen...Fat Ass in a Glass. Milk and Allens Coffee Brandy. Preferably kept chilled in the same cooler you use to transport your lobsters...
Lobsters for days
more shots of the 210 57 Nomad
Running Roadmaster
Cleanest B2200 I have seen in years. Had to make a run in it. Slow but solid as a rock
Went back to her mom's camp for a booze cruise later that day...
Next day start thinking about a pretty serious ATV ride. Torchbug agrees
morning on the lake camp
yeah I totally went for a couple of slides off that. My girl was laughing her ass off...
saw this KG when I went out to breakfast! Nice owners. They showed my pics of a mint Mk2 Continental coupe they also own
going for the ATV ride finally! Schoodic mountain
I love going to a gas station in a 4 wheeler for some reason...
trail ended at a classic train depot!
rally stage
back to camp my phone was COVERED in dust
how lobstermen speak to their rivals...dont mess with those guys
more Nomad pics... and a few old Jeeps we passed on the way back and my NEW WAGON!!!
I think my tenure with the Torchbug has been completed. It was party to a phenomenal weekend and past week. Next it heads to Coty in New Hampshire. I will be making a drive to hand deliver it.

Cheap as hell liquor will do that to you. One time I went to a party where they were swilling down Allen's Blackberry. Those were some sorry fuckers the next day.

there's like zero tracks, and the New England Region SCCA holds their events closer to me than they do to you.

This is not a Nomad. Nomad is always a two door model and it has totally different side windows than the rest.

in my opinion I think Portland is overrun by restaurants and people that want to eat at them. It isnt what it was even 10 years ago.

they are. Tourists are just fine. I am a little pissed that even with all the tourism revenue my taxes in portland are 3 times what they would be in surrounding towns, and 10 times what they would be up north. And we cant even get to the restaurants ourselves!

Awesome pics! Congrats on the Buick wagon.
Super random but this past weekend I drove up to Maine (Deer Isle, near Blue Hill) from Boston (random as I live on the West Coast) and remembered a couple of jalops lived out there. I actually saw a decent number of cool cars outside of all the trucks I was expecting to see - including lots of old American classics.
Wonderful state and lots of great roads! Drivers also appear to be a LOT better than those in California - everybody seemed to keep right and pretty courteous in letting faster traffic go by.
Drive back down was horrible with the rain Sunday night though - couldn't see a damn thing getting in to Boston and had to turn off the freeway and wait for it to die down.

haha wow, small world.
Checked out the blue hill fair and had my first doughboy - as heart attack inducing as it sounded, that was actually delicious. And more lobster in the course of 3 days than I've had in my entire life before that.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to more trips to Maine. Next time will be over Christmas though, so gotta brace for the weather. Definitely hope to visit over the summer again sometime soon for a longer period of time to explore a bit more and relax out there on the water.
My lady grew up out there - her dad's a boat builder and brother in law is a lobsterman - so lots of seafood in my future too, I hope!

it's a 210 as you described and he's right, the nomad only came in a 2-door (and only in the bel-air trim package). Depending on the interior seating (I think) it's either a Townsman or Beauville http://www.57classicchevy.com/body-styles.ht…
