In 1974, my beloved 1965 MGB, with a freshly installed 5 main bearing engine got T-boned by far worse than pot heads. These losers were what we called then Jesus Freaks. As I observed how the passenger side door had bent the gear shift into an impossible shape, they jumped out of their rusty mid ‘60's American 4-door…

My favorite Lucas electrics problem on my 1965 MGB surfaced when, as I usually did returning home, I turned off the engine out in the street under speed, put the car in neutral and let it coast up our steep driveway until inertia stopped it right where I wanted it to be and I put on the brakes.

I believe a 1972 Midget is about my least favorite MG of all time.

I thought Bugatti owners all looked like Sheldon Adelson. Those are pictures of the pool boys.

I don’t know, but mine shows a big gap from December 2000 to December 2007, so I am somehow missing a big piece of the data. I know I didn’t stop ordering from Amazon in those missing years, so it has gone done some strange amazon wormhole. I no I didn’t cancel my Amazon account, open a new separate account and use it…

Do you mean Uruguay?

This may be like the Moscow Olimpics. 1980, with so many absent that the stats hardly matter.

I had to pay my way through school so I am conservative in my personal finances.

I recall an article in the Maserati Club magazine in the early 1990's where someone needed recreate one tail light for a 1960's Maserati restoration. They found the original manufacturer in Italy and the cost was in the range of $2500 at the time, and you need to factor in how simple tail light designs used to be.

2367 Lafayette Street in Santa Clara seems to be a Walmart now.

A slight shift to motorcycles and the question of: Helmet” or “no helmet”.

I live in San Francisco, and if you really consider all costs, you will never come out ahead. Particularly if you honestly weigh “lost opportunity” costs.

I recall a similar thought process happened with this new fangled thing called digital photography in the mid 1990's.

You sir, have never been to Uruguay. It is amazingly cool, unlike you, sir.

It seems like they should take the opportunity to make a distinct model line. The 911 series is what it is because of the engine way out back and the unique handling that inspires, not to mention the unique solutions Porsche has created to overcome it.

We can have Star Drive, or we can have Jesus.

I must agree on the Espada - terrifying brilliant. For mere mortals, the ‘60’s XKE, when you pulled out the bonnet locks in each footwell and lifted that snout, pure beauty.

I never felt quite so much at home than in my Series I XKE. Sadly long gone.

My dear cousin had an Italian performance car shop in the ‘80’s & ‘90’s that serviced a lot of these. In each work bay he had a roll around cart with shelves, very much like a high school “AV” cart, to store the manuals, the odd part bits temporarily removed and shiny new bits to be added. I remember he pointed at…

For reference, I paid $1800 for a very clean ‘63 Jaguar Series 1 XKE in 1972. Sodl it decades ago unfortunately.
