    My favorite was good old castor oil... made from beans. I wonder if it was poisonous and we didn't know it??? (Ricin.) Smelled good, anyway. I haven't seen it for sale in 40 years.

    Some of them know a helluva lot about watches! ::rimshot::

    You're probably (certainly) a better rider than me. I got to the point that I was so afraid of cars that I couldn't enjoy the ride. I still have my Honda 600 in the garage... "ran when parked", hasn't been started in 10 years.

    Have enjoyed the smell of "R" in a while....... but I understand its still around and expensive as hell.

    There are loonys out there racing speedway Jawas and Norton Manxes in the vintage classes who insist on it!

    This is very nice, lots of providence and photographic documentation.:thumbsup: But IMHO they are asking a lot of money for this even with all the providence and documentation.:eek:

    I think they should put "THIS SPACE FOR RENT" on the blank white panels on the doors.

    I will add another one of the cars i used to care for in Monaco - A 1950's Mercedes SLS Roadster, only a few exist now.

    It drives perfect and proudly sits in a collection.
