Mike, while I do appreciate to encouragement to venture over to ‘The Dark Side’, I’ve worked very hard over the last few years to earn, and live up to, the Storker moniker. And if I continue to eat the way I’ve been eating lately, I’ll be the porker striving the Storker. As for the paddock sand, I began playing in the sand as a child and never grew tired of it. :jester:
Ok, on a more serious note, my father and I ventured over to Old School Resto yesterday to have a look see. The location is a small church-turned-garage resting snuggly inside chainlink fencing. Every inch of the property is decorated with some sort of automobile project with each looking the part of a ‘barn find in waiting’. Walk inside and you’ve stepped back in time. Projects galore; mainly Lotus, Volvo and one-offs from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s. Engines hanging off stands, sitting around here and there. In the middle of all this sits the S1. Apparently, this guy is constantly tweaking and wrenching. The S1 is somewhat dismantled with a fresh, just-installed Sprite making 12:1. I ask the owner if he mined if I took a few photos....he declined saying, “I’d rather the car not be seen publicly in this shape.” Followed up with “Once it’s back together, I’m running it at Road Atlanta next weekend....if I still own it.” With that, we chit chatted a bit more with the owner, then we left. The visit felt more like toleration and intrusion into his world rather than ‘glad you stopped by’. As for the S1, I know very little about these (hence, the reason I wanted photos that I could share here). So, the car is there and, as best as I can tell, seems to be pretty much as described on the eBay listing. And Mike, I don’t know that I could handle something sitting next to my Storker that is actually smaller. :seeya:
