What a car! Lawrence was nice enough to call me to go out and pick up the Daimler last Saturday. I assumed that he'd put kids and all in the Daimler and I'd drive the Subaru home, but I guess he didn

The old bulb problem reminds me of experience with old fuses. They can look fine, but be quite resistive (it only takes an ohm or so, after all.) If you have a flakey electrical system, it's easy and

Scott's Lotus Cortina story reminds me very much of my own car. I think I've finally figured out what I bought two+ years ago - it's either an actual former race car or a horrible attempt at a wannab

Phil, you may want to reconsider painting the Europa teal. I have read a number of articles in aviation-related magazines about the threat of thermal degradation of fiberglass structures, especially

Lest we forget, there are also several Datsun roadsters of various conditions, from "fully restored" 2000s for $5K to a 1600 "project" for $350. Wayne
