This is what my soon to be finished A2 jacket companion will look like.

Thanks for the tip on the Healey - 'cause I found this from the same seller:

1933 Ford wagon with '59 V-8

The dude types like a classic rodhead. Also into cykes, B-3/Leslie combos (not sheepskin-related), and get this:
He's changed the original steering wheel and front end wishbones "for that nostalgia look." :roll: :? :?: :!:

OK, maybe he has a point. Not a lot of people are nostalgic for 1933. Besides zoomer, that is.

This comes with a warning for lovers of classics, especially Jags. check out the number plate of the E Type. Starts at around 1:45.

Painful to watch. And that rare Aston Martin DB4 roadster.

Anyone remember this scene from the 1971 The Vanishing Point, with Kowalski vs the cops, and this duel with a Jag E-type, at 1:19.

The E-type will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, will be featured at Pebble Beach Concours in 2011. I am hopeful my car will be one of the featured cars. I am told 50 examples will be displayed.
