    Looks like it's running a bit rich. Maybe "rolling coal"?

    My thoughts exactly. Home Depot knows a thing or two. No deceptive advertising. Though, we once coasted down a mountain, with a dead engine, about 3 km. to a known safe spot. After putting the car on it's head. Jumper cables would not have helped.

    " In period, Can Am cars produced about the same power as my Lola. " Good comment. Vintage racing has that silly aspect. Unless a club really enforces something, people just pour on the power. The great pro drivers of the 1960s-70s might have been happy with 450 HP from a 302 TranAm motor. Now you see those cars with 600 HP, for gentleman and lady drivers that run a few times a year. Boggles the mind.

    Bruce, Like the new photo for your avatar. Sounds like the advantage of being able to drive on street and much less fragile are a perfect trade off.

    Glad to see you are keeping the AXR and autocrossing. Much safer than bikes and easier to share with friends than a telescope? It should keep you young.

    You might want to check one of the scoops available for Miatas. Low profile. but might work? It would be good to handle one to see if it would clamp to the skinny 7 windshield frame.

    Classic scam language. Why would anyone in the country want a "shipping co."? I'd say I'm going to pick it up myself; live in Ohio; have a trailer. Anyway, the shipping co, escrow is classic scam talk. IFF it was true, there are many more convenient ways. Besides it's a scam? (When you get old enough for the AARP newsletter, you'll see this language every other month.)

    M Wirth, don't let the Hilux go. My Toyota pickup was only 38 when I let it go. They won't sell it back to me, darn. I don't like my 2018 Tacoma nearly as much, too big.

    Bruce, the coolest part was a hammerhead. After a fast dive, he headed up till the wings stalled and it fell over backwards. Plenty of altitude to regain control. The next crazy trip to that air strip was to go up in a glider. With a genuine WW2 German glider pilot. The real surprise was when we found an updraft, it didn't "glide" up at an angle, but just felt like it was pushed straight up like a strong, fast elevator.

    Now that is real flying, not sitting in a jet liner. I got a wonderful ride in a Steerman, aerobatics and all. Just super. I think I paid like $30-$40 for the ride. Worth ten times that.

    Croc, Definitely agree on the conservative color for the 400. I briefly had a grey one and it was invisible cop-wise compared to a red. No-one noticed it or saw a Ferrari coming. Makes it much easier to drive around. One of the best ways to enjoy a V12, Though I loved a BMW 750 V12.

    Congratulations on a job well done. Looks like you did Lars proud and I'm sure the family appreciated it.

    Finally, my car on a T shirt. BRG, RHD, cycle fenders and all. https://www.blipshift.com/products/the-lightweight

    None of the mods would be a struggle for the Unsers. If not theirs, it could be a mod that ended as "also ran". Very cool no matter what.

    Or Bobby Unser 1965 Lotus/Chev Or Bob Montana 1963 Lotus Mark XI Valiant (wrong series #, later helmet?) Or Dan Morgan 1966 Lotus/Ford but these are the only 1960s records I see in Pikes Peak records. Unfortunately, their records on the web only show the class winners, so if it someone else, it will require more digging. No matter which, this would be a great "period History" vintage car.

    Edit: 70 cc might be a bit too small, even or an Abarth. Make that 750!
  17. panamericano
    All save one are very light, of course. Abarth and Lotus domnate. His crazy 70 club special. Seven very near the end. The interview with the man is worth the view.

    As they said back in the day, "Far out, man."

    "Does anyone know where I can get the correct color BRG touch up paint and a fuel sender gasket? " Put the bonnet in the Tacoma and head over to your local automotive paint supplier. They will mix and match till the touch up is just right.

    "I'll do a proper video cut of the unveiling and such in a week or so." So many delays, but ever the optimist. Great. You've got to do something about that driveway. You'll get the tires dirty!

    Could not have much worse that the last Toyota Pickup I sold. 38 years old; son spun and crashed every corner; so I put on a Ford Ranger grille (zip ties). Mechanic straightened the hood to work perfectly, new headlight buckets and tail lights. No dent repair. Perfect for driving to the job. The union lads could not hurt it.

    I hope by bottled water, you meant Holy Water. Or at least distilled. Spring water may contain minerals.

    Send me a PM if you can get to NW Dallas. I have a regular S3 Birkin, but don't think it would significantly different from a Cat in terms of fit. You are one step under me in all dimensions, so I'm guessing no problem.

    Great looking car. Looks like the lady is a keeper too.

    Some Croc might want to get one of these. Hurry. https://link.caranddriver.com/click/29804793.9021/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuY2FyYW5kZHJpdmVyLmNvbS9uZXdzL2E0MjA2MjUzNi9ibXctMzAtY3NsLXJldmVhbGVkLWRldGFpbHMvP3NvdXJjZT1ubCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPW5sX2NkYiZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJmRhdGU9MTEyNjIyJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1ubDI5ODA0NzkzJnVzZXJfZW1haWw9Yzk4MjNjNWUxMzA0Yjk2N2M5N2YyZmQ5ZjFjMjU1ZDM0MmI4MTU4OTBkMWFlMzU0OWIxOGFkYmM4NWUyZWU4Nw/586d9a6399964a474e8b456dD223f2ebb
