I always wanted to build one of these with a BMW S62 powerplant.

 

Visited the garage of a Studebaker collector last night. He has two Avantis, two Larks (all four works in progress), and a 1964 Hawk Gran Tourismo. Surely by the time this car was built, those on the assembly line had seen the writing on the wall. Too bad the setting for this car was unflattering, but still it was gorgeous.

 

I have a very bad history with Fiat X-19's! I hit a sheep with one, over-revved one and blew the engine and then one smashed into the back of me and wrote my car at the time off (a Honda Prelude 2.2 VTEC).

Awful things.

 

These are my dream cars. I want to build one at some point, but will have to wait until I have the space, funds and time. Only have a single garage at the moment... Need a nice big double one!

 

I know it was luftgekuhlt week, but I was on the wrong continent. Still you get this:

 

Is that pic real? Looks like it's from a game. It's stunning either way!

 

Phwooooorrrrr! My favourite Ferrari

I've got a similar shot from the New York Auto Show back in 2014

 

I bought this 1969 Triumph TR6 (with a bad paint job from the 90’s) about 7 years ago. Worked on it more than I drove it but when it was running it was awesome to drive. One day my wife says, “hey, lets drive the Triumph down to the central coast and stay the weekend in Santa Barbara [from Northern California].” I said, “how do you feel about being stranded?” Wife: “ummm no thank you; sell that car and buy something we can go someplace in.” Uggg, hated to sell it. Maybe someday I will get another. There is something about the lines of that car that I love. Below is the car that replaced it.

 

All things considered, I think you came out alright. Enjoy!

 

One moment please…. I did not know Chrysler had come up with their own Apollo 50th edition… and another big butt…..

 

Proper nasty-porn here - Spitfire GT8. She's a noisy one too!

 

Diversity: manual and PDK, NA and turbo, steel and PCCB

 

'56 Jaguar D Type at Gooding in Scottsdale last year. A friend was inspecting a car he bought that was in this secured area so I took a couple of not so great pics. Didn't meet reserve of $10 million if I recall correctly.

 

Yes, the D Type is shapely, but maybe a bit too wholesome, so for sheer curvaceous lasciviousness . . .

From a cruise the other weekend



Note the foggy fuel/oil gauge and the inop speedo.

Frankens are a big problem with D-Types, it's easy to create two cars from one original. Not implying anything about this one -- but for 10 Hooooge ones I'd expect a LOT of provenance.
