Suzuki, Inspired by the Aston Martin CC100 Speedster.

The direct ancestor of the Motocompo, looks a lot like the 1955 - 1966'ish Valmobile designed and first manufactured in France, before being licensed by Hirano in Japan, when it became an available option for Travco RVs.

Let’s be honest; because it was still OK to follow the TreadHeavily program and cut your own trail.

Golf Harlequin livery for the GT.  You know absolutely for sure you’d never see another.

That’s why the 1' X 12' wrap kit I have is still sitting in the box.

Brabec is only 50% the arrogant arse called Robby Gordon. Go for 100% next year Brabec.

If anyone wants to start their own series in NorCal, I have 3 of the Bajaj versions, running, and registered. Use them when my 2CV feels too fast.

The bigger issue is the backing structure. Foam sandwiched between fiberglass semi rigid structure is part of the failure when you remove the headliner to fix the ‘full diaper,’ look. Haven’t found a good solution for that anywhere.

Pre-dusk. Brown SUV, alternator failure eventually killing the battery; no flashers, very dim MagLight. In stop and go traffic at the merge of two freeways in lane #4 of 7.

Price would be $4k more in CA. But still crack pipe.

“He almost went Mustang on us!” @5:20 when pink car makes unsuccessful transition from burnout turn to down the strip maneuver and stops inches from the wall.

Tony Stewart is having second thoughts about coming out of retirement.

Dogs sit in a car facing front. Luggage goes in the back seat (in our DINK status anyways.)

ProTip® for eclectic collectors anyways: locate the book Into the Red: 22 Classic Cars that Shaped a Century of Motorsport by Nick Mason and if it has the CD buy it. Nick writes about his impressions of the 22 cars in the book - all of which are his, and then they record the cars at the track. One at a time - from

Map coordinates 33.122579, -117.103281 is about where they were pulled over.

My ‘78 trunk version, (in ‘84) had Goldwing pistons, cam, dual Webers, Mallory coil, fiberglass flares, fiberglass hood with scoop (held on with hood pins), header, glasspack, Monza tip, roll bar, Recaros, 6X9's by Kricket where the back seat was originally, battery relocated to the trunk, widened stock wheels with
