Hey just looking for a fun group to wheel with. So here is the short version I bought my 66 scout 800 sportop back in 1994 and wheeled it all over Kansas and Oklahoma. My wife and I moved to Parker Colorado back 2005 and quickly started a family(we have three little ones two older boys and there little sister) needless to say the scout sat for a number of years, but the kiddos have gotten old enough for me to start back at my second favorite activity(the first is flying but thats what I do for a living now). I started driving the scout last year but the engine spun a bearing sooooo Im about done installing the new 345 V8 and I cannot wait to get into the mountains.

I'm flying Lear jets(35 and 55's part 91 and 135) until the end of the year and then going into Hawkers, and I fly out of APA.

Welcome! I think I'll stay behind you on the trail--don't want to be startled to see teeth coming after me in the mirror.

Welcome! I just joined earlier this week and must say that I've been overwhelmed by the welcoming response. I've always been a Scout fan; looking forward to seeing yours.
