Internet brofist for recreating battles by lighting models on fire.

Sublimely captured - I'm reading it in his voice.

While "Everybody's Got a Cousin in Miami" is more Florida-centric, I think Buffett captures whatever ails Florida with the line,"I think the cosmic bakers took us out of the oven a little too early, and that's the reason we're as crazy as we are," in "Fruitcakes."

Good on ya. My uncles were both #twowheelsgood for a long time, so I have no beef there.

There were a couple Sunbeam Alpines at Lime Rock this past weekend - cool little cars, definitely.

The "just because" drive is key to my sanity.

Absolutely not. On the web's home of "drive a slow car fast," you are asking whether we'd not drive *at all* for about 70% of our week in order to drive an exclusive car for the remaining 30% of the time; I think this represents a poor trade-off for a Jalop.

It's Labor Day - Orlove was just getting in the mood for some burgers and dogs a bit early.

BaT makes no bones about the build being sponsored by ebay, so I think any conflict is easily resolved in the readers' minds. I also think it's a nice hook to the project: to see if everything can be sourced from one place.

That is a pretty interesting suggestion by Scorpio - have you followed BaT's ebay-only (and -sponsored) resto of the Corvette?

That's very cool. I don't know if mine are still hiding at my folks' place. I shall do some checking next time I go back.

Ha! That was quick. There's one on ebay, but I can't get the jpg from "view source".

I had a number of cars that I was fond of, but the one that I always associate with "playing with Matchbox" was this one. I never knew its name or model - I just called it "Superfast."

Reverse 1: Benoit!

In a similar vein, here's a 944 derivative. Except for being overly lowered, I think it looks good.

Thanks for this; very interesting. I note that the Ferrari has one hole at 40.6, rather than two. They're the only make with a single hole.

Here's a test from my acct. Second time I've tried to reply to you. Nibbles is a bitch.

Generally. Not so if Scottish. Frosty brew for the hydrationizzle.
