I know it was rhetorical rant, but I have to sympathize. Don't let the project stress your funds. You may dig yourself into a hole that may make final completion even further out than 2004, or may ne

Hey, listers, anyone want to contribute a few bucks to the "Buy Andre a Second Triumph" Fund? I'm in for fifty bucks. Anyone else? A few dozen of us throwing in a similar amount, and he can have a Tr

Liv offered to let me drive her Spitfire, but I did not fit. My other fear would be parking it outside all winter long. It snows here... :) No I'll be fine and take comfort in knowing when I'm done.

That's a little disconcerting, considering the effort you're putting into a GT6 resto. They're no bigger, you know, and they have 94,000,000 miles less headroom... It does in UK too (although only to

Ah, but my GT6 has a much smaller steering wheel which helps. Plus she has a roll bar in the spit, pushing the seat forward. I think I might go outside and do some more work :) I'm sure once things s
