Nice looking Z-car, Micheal. Seems way to cheap a price......but we forget how cheap those cars used to be.
I love everybody's pix - and even Bret's Power Wagon, a sort of beautiful beast, but definitely a cool machine.
I will post a few pix of various people's favorites (INCLUDING a Hudson Hornet) on the track at Goodwood last
weekend. And a guy actually racing a Ferrari 250 GTO....which is probably worth something north of $25 million bucks.
Cobras, Corvettes, E-types, D-types, C-types, and more. And does anyone remember who Rowan Atkinson is?
Mr. Bean? Amazingly, he is a really serious vintage car racer, too. He was racing a 1926 Bentley 4 1/2 liter Parkwood
Saloon car .....what we would call a Parkwood Sedan. To see an ancient monster luxo-sedan like that being flung hard
around the race track is pretty amazing, a bit frightening at times, looked like it might tip over a few times as he would
slide it through high speed corners. Somehow Mr. Bean didn't seem the type....but I found that he has a bachelor's and
master's in electrical engineering, so not your typical comic actor by any means. Here is a net pic, will get a better one
of mine, soon.

And Keith, I agree that those are pretty Corvettes. I had the mixed fortune to drive a VERY early Corvette, owned by
a friend of my father. It was a very valuable 1954 model, ultra rare, and I was really honored that he just handed me the keys
to run down to the hotel and check in - we had flown in to the local airport and didn't have a car. I was all grins and so was
my wife, until I started driving it. 150 hp inline six, 2 speed auto tranny, super slow steering, very heavy, unboosted drum
brakes made for poor stopping by today's standards, ox cart ride. Beautiful to look at,
but a horrible car to drive. I was surprised. "Don't ever meet your heroes" is an old saying. It may apply to cars, too.
