  1. Perfect hood ornament for one of Croc's cars:
  2. Pretty sure this thread's name should be changed from Losing It to Lost It. Maybe a touch of Mary Poppins:
  3. "Some are taking wearing their masks below their noses a bit too literal....." There have been great strides in the technology of masks recently. I'm going to ditch my N95 and get the kind I see people using at Walmart. These new masks are so anti-viral that you don't have to cover your nose, the air is purified as it wafts over the mask. Even more powerful masks protect so well that you can just wear it around the neck. That might be something our president should look into.
  4. Nice photos to have, congratulations. As always, a small person finds it's just the right fit. Great number plate and easy to remember. Definately a KAR and definately NOT a 965, C or otherwise.
  5. He turned off the sound of the doctor saying turn your head and cough.
  6. Social distancing could mean a picnic?
  7. Maybe the frat boys lighting them off are doing a public service.
  8. Autoweek - Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Lotus is planning on building a car for the masses. At least, that’s what CEO Phil Popham told Bloomberg recently.
  9. But, tattoo parlors are essential. Especially since since there are blood and open sores involved?
  10. On early Miatas, the bolt pattern is 4x100. The regular 7 spoke (similar style to Minilites) weigh 12 pounds, which is hard to beat if you find a set for $100-200. Not sure if the M spec BBSes are 14", or the later hollow spoke, maybe 15.
  11. Epic drive! Moving from back of the pack to FIRST place in the first lap! That lad's really going places.
  12. Another silly video of a tiny, useless roll bar. This one is of inerest to me because I say the Mextico GP where Richie Ginther won Honda their first GP. I remember that the Honda V12s sounded very different to the Ferrari V12. But, oh, when we got to the 3 liter formula, the BRM H16 was just the best sound ever. 2,00 RPM more than the V12s. Too bad they could not keep the oil in it's proper place. https://racer.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4229144cd7b7395ebde1911ab&id=68eae4fba8&e=666e8d6b01
  13. In the heady market of the late 80's my partner and I were told about a collection of great cars for sale. Slight snag, we would need a Letter of Credit for $4,000,000 in order to get with the multi-billionaire principal. We did get the LC (another OPM story). The collection was no where near what was discussed. We did get a couple Ferrari and an extra V12 engine (another story).
  14. Lotus or Lotus: https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2020/04/15/whats-the-plural-of-lotus-it-depends-on-who-you-ask?refer=news&utm_source=edaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2020-04-15
  15. It's beginning to feel like the movie Ground Hog Day. If you are not familiar with the movie, go watch it right now. I'll wait...> > > > > Very Buddhist, I think. Here's the new take on it in a commercial, not for the first time either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QgBRvMmWk4&feature=emb_rel_end
  16. And the price of crocodile boots and belts will go down.
  17. Congratulations. I'm going through a similar starter issue also. Makes me look at Miata ads, especially white ones. Of course what makes it worse is that we are having lovely weather that is not 100 degrees. Every good driving day missed is not coming back around until November.
  18. Really? Another sportcar enthusiast that has given up on "Road & Truck" and "SUV and Driver".
  19. If I could go to a cars & cafe, it might look like this. Just proves it's hard to show rough paint in a photo. [ATTACH=CONFIG]16848[/ATTACH]
  20. Do you know how many db.s they knock the noise to?
  21. Peterbilt truck https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/pts/d/denton-ratrod-vintage-peterbilt-guage/7104511450.html
  22. Perfect for a Caterham or Locost 7. Don't be one of those wimps with just a few gauges. Go big or go home! $225
  23. Remember, the CDC advise is too stay 6 feet apart from each other. OR as we say in Texas, 12 tacos apart.
  24. Quick, people, add more posts till that last one goes to another page.
  25. Lovely 23b This is at Fantasy Junction, though I didn't go to their website. https://classicmotorsports.com/news/car-catcher-quintessential-sports-racer-lotus-23b/?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&utm_medium=email&utm_content=What+s+Next%3F+The+New+Wave+of+Collector+Cars&utm_campaign=CMS+Daily+Newsletter+Automation+Email
