The parts store recharge kits also have a leak sealer in them that tends to choke your system like cholesterol in arteries. When it goes warm, get your AC repaired. The band aid will work for a while, but eventually you’ll need a much bigger pile of cash to fix it vs getting it fixed right away the proper way.

Only if an idiot owned it previously, which sadly most were. But a good, well cared for one is a cheap way to get into the V12 game and they drive like a dream.

I drive a fourth car, my 1978 Triumph Spitfire. Or my 1987 Jag XJ6 if I want AC here in Austin. But my dream fourth car is a Ferrari Daytona coupe in any color but red or yellow. And the other cars in my garage are a TR4 and 71 MGB, both on jackstands undergoing rebuilds. So maybe I’m exponentially driving 4th cars.

The 250 Testarossa wasn’t “driven beyond its limits”, the brakes failed. Big difference.

I got to talk to Fitch and Moss at Line Rock in 2012 together. Stirling had mellowed a bit and said that Fitch did have the right idea. As to Macklin, he was driving a 100s I believe, and Hawthorn thought it was a standard 100. The speed of the 100s was much higher and Hawthorn misjudged it and his entering the pits.

It’s actually a body that isn’t made with original tooling. In many ways it’s different. This is actually tooling that was used for the Rover MG RV8 about 25 years ago. But it is from continuation by BMHIT. I’d prefer the GT. Much better car. FYI, I have a 1971 MGB, 1978 Spitfire, 1962 TR4, 1987 Jag XJ6, and a 1981…

In open wheel racing, be it 150 or 80 mph in a pass like this it takes incredible skill to not take each other out. My point is passes like this aren’t that rare.

Normal in any Formula Jr, Formula V, Formula Ford race for the last 40+ years.

You have to go before the 8 track to Chrysler deep groove records for cars. Or the steering yoke of the the 60s: two small wheels with holes for fingers and thumbs. J turns with a flick if the wrists.

TVR simply flopped the Triumph directional stalk to the right side of the column in my left hand drive 2500. So up was left, down was right. Not a big deal but odd.

Send this vid to the idiot conservatives on TX and say this is a simulation of the victory from Jade Helm the DOD made...

There are so many Hoosier specialties at the Speedway. But it’s changed so much since the early 90s.

Actually, it’s her third fire in 5 seasons of IndyCar. First at Texas Motor Speedway, and two at the Indy 500 on practice days. The first fire was her just getting caught in a crash, the second was the diff or a makeshift seizing, this was a fuel valve.

I stay at Jiminy Peak an hour north when I go there.

Without a doubt.

I’ve been doing yoga for almost 6 years now. I come from a high level cycling background, and a pretty decent driving resume. I do it to keep my back in check due to injuries, but it helps many other things. Combined with road cycling I find I’m rarely tired, rarely sore, and can use my torso to help steer a go kart.…

Lime Rock has history, is a well run facility, never runs on Sunday (they may still have the three a year exemption), and is closer to many many more people than Miller. Literally millions more. Still a pain to get to, though.

Drive a well cared for Spitfire with a sorted suspension. IE new shocks, springs and bushings. With the tightest turning radius of any car ever built, it’s about as close to a street legal go kart as anything.

Have fun replacing the battery in the Solstice coupe...

I have footage of the Indy Turbine running last year at the SVRA Indy event. Eerily quiet at speed.
