Nikola Board: We need a new president for our failing company.

And that hick ‘sport’ evolved from moonshine runners. You’d think it would be exclusively alcohol advertising.

1st Gear: “Porsche has been sort of an odd duck in the VW universe”

That’s surprising. The stereotype of Germans seems to be all about being OCD and VERY particular about everything.

I enjoy that some quasi HOA has shown up for the Tesla plant, and seems to have attracted the requisite members.

Ford.  Just wait.

Yeah, Elon is like the turd kid we all knew who annoyed and shit on everyone. That is until some other bigger kid beat the snot out of him. Where is that kid now?

3rd Gear: I seriously hope the SEC brings the hammer down over this stupid bullshit. But realistically, the SEC “hammer” is a $100 million fine that Musk would laugh at.

Order a new wiring harness from Autosparks in the UK for around $500 - rip all of the old one out and install new one - easily done. I just got my new harness for my old Land Rover from them - figured it would be a lot easier and cleaner than trying to patch a brittle 55 year old wiring harness back together. The…

There is a thumbscrew on the bottom that adjusts mixture, and a setscrew or two for the linkage that adjusts idle and when the choke kicks in.  They are about as simple and easy to adjust as a carne gets.  Easier than swapping jets on a Weber.

It’s a 63, there are what, maybe 9 things that need wiring up? Rip all the spaghetti out and start again. 

All joking aside, the only people I know that have experience with old british stuff are all of the age where tomorrow isn’t a guarantee. These things are going to be harder and harder to keep running unless you can do it all yourself.

60 year old British wiring? Probably easier to yank the existing harness and start fresh than spending the rest of your life chasing one electrical gremlin after another.

NP, A new wiring loom will set you back $490

This thing is gorgeous. I genuinely don’t know what values are like on something like this, but values on old toy roadsters do seem to be slowly creeping up, especially when they present nicely.

Not even if this car contained the last chip in all Christendom is this worth 30K

“Eat my clam!” just doesn’t make the same impact. 

I refuse to fly to Orlando. I’ll fly to Tampa and drive. Sure I-4 is a horrible mess, but it isn’t a 4+ hour wait in TSA with mad children and drunk adults.

Classic Orlando behavior. Whether it’s Disneyland or the airport, you can count on a drunk adult to be mad about paying full price, waiting in line, and being denied permission to ride.

Who brings a bike to a suitcase chase?
