You force my hand

 

Me love

 

I had an e-mail from my garage, yesterday, inviting me to take a test drive in the new California T.

Now, at 52 years old, I don't think I am old enough to make the transition to a GT from a pure sports car, but in the interest of preserving the planet with a smaller engine and a turbo charger, I guess it would be rude not to take them up on their offer. Mind you, the same e-mail offered me a test drive in the Rolls Royce Wraith, so perhaps they are trying to tell me something.

 

A sharp dealer looking towards the future

 

Stewart you are never too old to leave a real sports car, even if you trash your back. This is what turns me on. http://www.autoblog.com/2014/12/17/fiat-abarth-zagato-petrolicious-video/. That and there is a sweet Tiger for sale. That visceral feeling is it!

 

That Zagato is gorgeous but the Tiger sound like fun - more than a little opposite lock.

 

OK, so now I have someone's permission to shop. LOL my wife misses my 360. This site has serious enabling issues even beyond watches, not that it takes much. HAH. Bill

 

Thanks. It's Venetian Blue.

 

That'll be the second divorce case in which I have been named

 

By women you were married to?

 

I will never forgive Chrysler for killing off this car!


1967 Sunbeam Tiger...these had a Ford 260/289 V8 under the hood. Something about a British roadster with American muscle under the hood!

For those not in the know...

OK. This is a real car. The AC Cobra was a similar take on an existing body. The kids today don't know what they missed.

 

The Sunbeam Tiger was the poor mans Cobra.

 

Well yah, but none of them is poor mans anymore. Chrysler is doing it well with the Hellcat. It's allmost like the Dog&Suds back in North Platte in the day.

 

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself
Well...How did I get here?

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself
How do I work this?
And you may ask yourself
Where is that large automobile?
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful house
And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful wife

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...

Water dissolving...and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Under the water, carry the water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water at the bottom of the ocean

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
Into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones
There is water underground

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go to?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?...Am I wrong?
And you may say to yourself yourself
My God!...What have I done?!

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
Into the silent water
Under the rocks and stones
There is water underground

Letting the days go by
Let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by
Water flowing underground
Into the blue again
After the money's gone
Once in a lifetime
Water flowing underground

Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Look where my hand was
Time isn't holding up
Time is an asterisk
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was...
Yeah, the twister comes
Here comes the twister
Same as it ever was...

Ah, Talking Heads!

 

Well its not Friday, but if you can get out and blow of part of the morning on the motorbike in Canada on Christmas day its worth shouting about.

and the roads were soooo empty.... 100kph along the lakeshore! (picture of "Donkeybike" taken a while ago but you get the idea)

 

Just found that this little fella went for £132,250

 

That's the art market these days. Drivable art that is!
