  1. For road driving you can easily get prescription safety glasses. They cut out the breeze and debris and are more impact resistant than glasses.
  2. Mine came through this forum. 100 miles away. I went the day after the ad to see and made the deal. Had to make a second run with a trailer. I'm sure it would have been sold if I had delayed. If one is a REALLY good deal, you need to strike immediately. A car either sells immediately, if a great deal. Or, after it's been listed for a few weeks (+?) and the owner finally realizes it's over priced. Only had one bad experience long distance, and it was from a friend. Chassis rust on a Stablimenti Farina bodied Siata. In any case, I advise budget for a quick trip, even if it's not for final delivery, if there is no local person to inspect it. I inspected a Gullwing for a dealer; sent him 3 rolls of photos: walked around on the cell phone with him for 20 minutes, answering detailed questions. Fun test drive!
  3. What size hammer is a Subtlety ?
  4. Again with the Arkansas jokes? Croc, we should be ashamed of ourselves.
  5. Great photos. Thanks. Lovely Westy. re the numbers really that big, or does the tiny car just make them looks huge? Nice Montreal. Great car. STILL under valued IMO. Omega? Intermecanica? Apollo? Let's see, they had at least one more name. The Vetta Ventura did not come as a roadster, so??
  6. Once took a foreign client to get his Texas driver's license. He did the driving test in his Testarossa. He passed and the DPS person looked happy when she got out. By all means, take the Stalker for the test.
  7. When I was in the motor trade, I always said, "First one with the money wins." Also never took deposits. Bring all the money or i kept trying to sell it. Money. That's just the way it is.
  8. OMG. Sounds just like Texas.
  9. The way I heard it, if the tooth brush was invented anywhere but Arkansas, it would be called Teeth Brush.
  10. Croc, We all know that Arkansas is more famous for inventing the Tooth Brush.
  11. Let's see. A Warton, or a v6 Stalker for 1/3 the price? Maybe that has to do with the "Marrakech Express."
  12. RHD Cat on BAT https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1992-caterham-super-7-3/?utm_source=dailymail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2019-09-21 Not only that, check out the Dino replica. I've seen that one. It's nice And the Ariel Square Four.. Only got to ride on back of one, Once. Sweet.
  13. Bob, I'll show my ignorance. What is that blue winged wonder? Mark
  14. "And the interior is particularly well finished off. Driver and passenger side airbags is a novel touch in a car where there is no impact protection for the fleshy stuff above the waist. Forget the airbags. It looks like it could use AIR CONDITIONING !!! Still 98 f in Big D.

  16. I always enjoy your photos. Thanks. Covered almost half of Lotus's road car history with those.
  17. Oh my. new cars being built with no air bags, roll bars, collapsible steering columns, etc. Plus, t:)hey have a high center of gravity, narrow track, etc. What are they thinking? Will some fools buy them? https://www.windingroad.com/articles/reviews/bentleys-iconic-1929-blower-to-be-reborn-in-exhilarating-new-series-a/?utm_source=Winding+Road+Weekly+Email+List&utm_campaign=3b0982d8fe-WR_Showroom_07-22-19_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f40212f51a-3b0982d8fe-57931065&mc_cid=3b0982d8fe&mc_eid=be2a685cc6
  18. No doubt a hard day of driving?
  19. I got the dreaded 404 message using that link. But, just going to http://www.heartlandallbritish.com/ worked a charm. Some great photos. Thanks.
  20. I concur. As one with only tarmac stage rally and hill climbs in Mexican mountains. What's a run-off space? Just keep it between the ditches. Except for that one time, rolling over 3 or 4 times down the mountain. Then one is glad to have a stout roll cage.
  21. "That, plus no crush zones, lap belts only, no professional chassis setup, antiquated brakes, skinny tires, high center of gravity, no roll hoops AND big power = death on wheels. " Well, to each his own. That's a bit like what I hear about the Birkin from non-enthusiasts. That thing is beautiful.
  22. Does Croc already have one? Video of him shifting madly around Spa? That's a bunch of gears. Reminds me of the old Road Ranger 10 speed, but with no double declutching.
  23. Who wouldn't love a Stanley. First car to do the ton.
  24. Since Croc is out of range, here is one from LocostUSA. Apparently the ebay sale ends today, so hurry https://www.ebay.com/itm/133133975133
  25. Well, I don't know what one can say about the Robin, except to make fun of it. No intention of snobbing the Locost side. I tried to buy 2 home-builts before I found my bargain basement Birkin.
