The violence is funded by US drug users. The cartels aren't killing for fun. They're fighting each other over the very lucrative business (illegal drugs are risky but relatively cheap to produce, and very profitable if you can sell them at contraband prices), and killing other people who get in the way, including…

I keep looking for an affordable copy of Strides on the Banked Track.

The Series 6 is a rebuilt Bristol V8, like a 411. I suppose anything is possible if you put enough zeros on a check, but I don't think you can buy a new Fighter or Blenheim.

Depending on how fussy you want to be, you may need to scratch the Blenheim off this list. Bristol Cars went "into administration" a couple of years ago. It was acquired by Frazer Nash.

Serbians and Bosnians don't take better care of their equipment. Wages are so low that patching together old cars is both practical and necessary, economically. New cars are about the same price everywhere in the world (exc for taxes), but a day's shop labor in Serbia is $50, not $500. Makes installing that new clutch…

Stan Mott's Cyclops. Most versatile, too, including winning the 1967 Indy 500.

Whether it's a blown head gasket on the Yugo or broken ignition switch on the Volks, I'm still walking home.

Ballast resistor right up top where it belongs!

Probably wanted to use as much of the stock hatch and frame as possible around the tail lights, then make the new part of the tailgate and rear body as simple as they could get away with.

I think my old neighbors still like me, but I hit for the cycle and touched em all otherwise on that list.

"And get me more damn whiskey and hookers. There's a reason why we put instructions for removing liquor and blood stains from upholstery in the Cadillac owner's manual when we were the biggest, baddest corporation on the planet, sonny. Buncha goddamn pansies today."

As much as any Indy winner can be an upset, Graham Hill's win in 1966 was the product of one bizarre occurrence after another, beginning with the death of the car's scheduled driver, Walt Hansgen a month earlier.

"Big country, big tolerances."

I, for one, need more evidence before you'll persuade me that women are objectified in garage culture.

No money in it to MRN's parent company, ISC.

Of the (slightly) older known Minis, AOK621 is in the Gaydon collection and will never leave. AFAIK, the other two are in Japan and are likely to stay there—they certainly won't be up for sale any time soon. If you want to be the center of attention of the local Mini Weekend, this car is your best shot, whether you…

I'd disassemble it, document it, repair and paint the bodyshell, clean the rest of the parts, and put it back together.

Chrysler wouldn't have built them for sale in 69, either, if there weren't a Nascar rule that required it.

AFAIK, states couldn't have forbidden sales, but they could refuse to license them as passenger cars. Just bolt on clearance lights and you're ready to register as a commercial vehicle.
