    So, what is with all those Build Threads? It says right here that you car build it in 24 hours! Of course, they had 3-4 guys, so it might take a whole weekend. It couldn't be on the interwebb if it wasn't true. Right?

    Nice looking seats. The last photo seems to have Zoom Zoom Vroom Vroom sounds imbedded.

    The geography is also off. Ad says near Beaumont. But the mountains are either not in Texas or maybe some angle of the Chisos mountains along the border nearish to Terlingua, about 700 miles west.

    Yeah, with the silver car next to it and the wires, I'd say you're both right. And you are very fortunate on the wife front.

    Original idea? Big mirror so you can see yourself in the car.

    Congratulations. It's always good to get what you want for Christmas. Or the Ides of March, or whatever.

    Welcome aboard. I'm envious of your location, compared to Dallas. Nice roads down there.

    Looks like Bruce's Lola leads the pack. OK, Foyt's Lola. Poster on auction at https://ontime.mecum.com/auction/232/item/scca-1944-1969-race-poster-36976/

    Googled. Can't see 4 stroke or 2? Weight? Should be very light. Like Fastg said, trans adaptation could be a buggar. Very interesting.

    "... If you ever drive my Lola, the things I will be saying about you while you are out on the track . . ." If he's on track in the Lola, I doubt he will care what you say about him.

    Can't laugh at that. I did it once, though not looking quite so fetching. L89 (427/435 hp) Corvette that had been sitting. I did a careful routine for sleepers, then was ready to add coolant. Poured a cup or two before I realized that jug had old motor oil. Duh. A few flushes later and all was well. Since then (40 yr.?) I only punch 2 small holes in the foil while a jug has coolant. No foil may mean motor oil, other waste. What a moron.

    So, if they still made a station wagon, with fold down seats, you really could carry the Birkin in it.

    Pretty sure you mean cm where you show mm. A Millimeter is a tiny little devil, hard to catch. A cm is more like 3/8 of an inch for the Gringos, and so 30 some would be about 1/3 of a meter (think yard + 3 inches) for your seat measurements. USA, give it up, just go metric! Sorry, hot spot.

    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.
