I saw this same truck at Cars and Coffee a couple months ago. It was really nice. I want to say they had a $100K, maybe $110K, sale price on it there. I mean, it was nice but not six-figures nice. Now it's 15% off. Snap it up quick!
Or buy a much cheaper example and with the money you 'saved' personalize it to your…

We did have them for one year. I really, really hope they come back next year like they've said they would. They are awesome to watch in person and the drivers and crews are nice as can be. It also helps that COTA is <30mins from my house. :D

My worst was like 122 hops in a year. It was full of suck, that's for sure. It changed after I spent nearly 16 weeks on the road, never home more than 30 hours, and someone told my manager that "TriggerTX is about to crack and walk out on us if he doesn't get some family/down time." I spent the next 4 weeks at home…

The London non-stop is a huge one. Only one stop to most of Europe. I'm booked on that flight coming up soon. No more AUS>DFW>JFK>LHR or AUS>JFK>LHR? Sign me up!

When I flew around 100K miles a year I always made ExecPlat on number of hops before I hit mileage. Living in Austin there's not a lot of places that I needed to go that had direct flights so I was always connecting in DFW or ORD. Every week was at least 4 hops, sometimes more. AUS>DFW>Destination>DFW>AUS(I was going…

I love my '91 and will never sell it. It's been all over. Mountains, beach, desert, mud, rocks, everything. It has always gotten me home when the trip is done. Yes, it might mark its territory with the occasional(constant) oil drips but driving it just feels 'right'. Even my wife loves taking out to play sometimes.

I have a good friend that has one in his hanger waiting to be restored. His is a prop version obviously. Pic below of my son sitting in it a couple years ago. In the pic he's about 5'8" and barely fits. My 6'1" frame was _not_ gonna make it.

Yep, seemed wider than my Abarth or my wife's Golf R. We're really good at picking 'odd', yet fun, cars for our stable. :)

We weren't supposed to turn off the TC during our testing. But we also had no one riding with us, so......
The one thing we weren't allowed to see and they wouldn't answer questions on at that time was the power plant. I did get a glance at the engine when they popped a hood and saw 4-cylinders, that was all. I had…

There's storage behind both seats. Big enough for helmet. Which leads into the next question. They are classified as motorcycles but iirc they won't require motorcycle endorsements in most states due to being trikes. They will also fall under helmet laws in some states. Not in Texas where I test drove one 6 months ago…

I'm going to assume this releases me from my NDA.

Range Rover Classic. Cheap to buy, fairly cheap to maintain, and easy to work on. Contrary to popular belief they are pretty reliable too. Throw a roof-top tent on it and you can carry a mountain of gear inside. It'll get you far enough away from everyone and get you home too.

The numbers I heard from a little bird somewhere was $19,990MSRP for stripped versions. If that number holds I think it'll sell reasonably well.

Not that I would or could admit to driving one but I'll say that I'd have to agree. If I'd driven one, of course.

It is. There's a drive belt there. I'm not going to claim I have first hand knowledge, no way, anyone with firsthand knowledge is still under NDA.

This one was made by Mombasa. Got it pretty cheap as part of a group buy a bunch of years ago. It's been on the truck for like 7 years. We absolutely love it. It's a breeze to set up and break down. Weighs a bit over 100lbs so doesn't make things too top heavy. There are much more expensive brands out there but even…

Only illegal in Texas for non-belted minors. Adults can ride in the back all they like.

I have one of the 400 Great Divide Editions that were sold in '91. Mine is badged #101. I've taken this truck everywhere and the only mods are a couple inch lift and slightly larger tires. I've got a roof top tent and all the goodies to go with it. Occasionally I toy with the idea of painting it up like the original…

That one little design bit on my '61, the exterior handle, gets almost as many compliments as the swing away steering wheel. Once someone notices it they realize just how much thought went into the lines of the car.
