    My wife's 04 turbo PT has been a pretty good car, and it still runs out pretty well.
    Its 21 years old and still on the road daily. It is a royal pain to work on, so it goes to a shop for most things, even with that in mind, its still been a pretty good car.

    Just saw your comment - spot on. There was also this monstrosity this year. WTF. These guys could have created the Nallinger 600 coupe and did this instead. I don't care about the worksmanship and the time they spent, there is a little thing called "taste" and they have none.

    But I'm sure there will be someone in Qatar who'd pay them what they want for it, so...

    Didn't customizer Mike Haas build it? The " original" Nomad was in RnC around '69.. Had outside carriage lamps, I believe.

    I think Mike Haas may have painted it but I am not sure that he had much else to do with the build...

  5. Ya know, it’s not wrong, per se, just remove a few of the “accessories “, change the rolling stock and it might not be half bad.

    Reminds me of a “Spitfire” that I had. Didn’t have a 572 in it, but did have a 327… 379.jpeg 1635.jpeg

    ^^^^ That is Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle famous comedian of the 1910's-20's
    EDIT: Correction it is another comedian "Happy" Moore as noted by @SR100 below.

    That isn’t Fatty Arbuckle. His career collapsed in 1921 after he was implicated in the death of a starlet. It appears to be a lesser known actor named ‘Happy’ Moore. Details here.
     
  26. . Whoever is responsible for this sacrilege should be arrested, handcuffed and jailed. Immediately.
