About the dry sump. With both dry sumps cars I have had (Birkin & Porsche) you check the level with the warm engine at idle, circulating oil. Someone more knowledgeable about a Vauxhall may know differently. Welcome to the mad house.

"Amazing how drastically small 7s look against other traffic " Wow. A place with more automobiles than trucks! Thanks for the ray of hope.

Thank you for those kind words. I have as many grey hairs as anyone, unless you deduct for the hairs that are no longer there. I just want younger folks in the activities I like, to ensure they continue. Can I get an Amen?

Great to see a young person with so much wisdom. The photo file from last weekend shows so much grey. Glad to see you're enjoying life properly.

Congratulations, Professor! I say the bid $ earlier this morning and could hardly believe it. Very well bought indeed.

Congratulations! With the hassle people have registering theses cars, there is an interesting side note. Hagerty offers a coverage (Cherished Salvage ) that lets you keep the salvage after a (agreed upon value) total loss, at no charge. The extra premium is 15% of the damage premium. My whole total annual premium in Texas is $305, so 15% of something less than that. At worst, say you need a replacement frame and a corner, you still have the state registered identity of the car (1965 Lotus) and are building a kit over. Of course you get a hicky of "salvage" on the title.

#1. What does the Texas title call it?

Croc, hurry. The cheapest way you your to get a 400 actually on the road. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1984-ferrari-400-11/

Bball7754, Thanks and thanks a lot. That was a nice read, as expected from A.F. So now I have yet another email article coming in weekly. Must find more time.

Let us know how that works, please.

Not even a Brooklands must add to the drama for the passenger.

Great article. Nice photos, especially the lead one with the yellow stripes down the side of your car. Have a beer on me.

..."With you being in TX there likely will be lots of CA residents interested but they are going through the whole SB100 registration issues which you can't really help them with. Many other buyers will be interested in how it's titled due to complications of owning it in their states after. I assume it's registered as a 2013 in Texas. Ideally if it's titled as a 1965 replica or similar that's most desired at it opens up most possibilities for use in other states without issues..." If it is registered on a Texas Antique plate, the title probably says something like mine - 1965 Lotus. I only have the Classic plate which requires annual Safety inspection (no smog), and annual renewal. The Antique plate gets a 5 year registration at some discount and no annual Safety inspection. The reason I have not upgraded to Antique is that the application requires an affidavit with conditions on a little restricted use (no one will ever know anyway), BUT you are also swearing that it is not a REPLICA (it is). A nasty cop might see through that. Keep your Antique plate when you sell it and deliver it with the title. The buyer can get a 30 day temp paper plate for about $20 if he needs it to get home and transfer the title.

Good for you. Plenty of time for driving. My old man drove till he was 91.

One more simple thing you might check. Verify that the fan is turning in the right direction - push / pull.

Seeing this fast one brings up a question to me. Which generates most/less lift? Clam shells or cycle fenders? The clam shells look obvious, but then we have seen cycles fenders with flat tops or flat with a bit of a duck tail (thank you Richie Ginther). Anyone tested both systems? Data? Comparable lap times?
