I drove the Lane Museum’s Tatra a few years ago during one of their Rally for the Lane events.

The Lane Motor Museum in Nashville has several Tatras. These are definitely not like the cars we grew used to in this country and are very interesting. This one had me at air-cooled, rear-engined V8.

1974 Mercedes 220D that my Dad owned, brought it up from Texas (live in Nova Scotia) in 1998 and ran it for 10+ years before we parted ways. A simple oil change each spring and it was good to go, solid reliable diesel engine.
