Yesterday I was at the workshop where my Continental is being maintained. And coincides had it that there was another Continental standing there. A Mark III (in lesser original condition). Nevertheless a side by side picture had to be taken. Two weeks ago...  

You will find something else, no worries. After all, you had your share of pleasure, fun, and maybe it is time to explore different universes? Best, Nicolas

And car number two would be a more-than-fitting replacement.

Give up on the opera windows and the vinyl roof? Surely not before the Cartier Boutique in Amsterdam has had a go on your dashboard clock!

It hasn\'t run for 2 years. I\'m selling the car (will deliver it to the owner next week). Drove it to the Historic Grand Prix in Zandvoort. On my way home all of a sudden the Cartier starts ticking. :-( ...  

[Holley 2-barrel on Edelbrock Six-Pack manifold, 383 engine] . . . rules. Do it! ...  

. . . if that fly-catcher hood scoop is original, but Detroit produced some rare wagon iron back then. Pontiac, most notably; supposedly, a fair share of the famed 421 Super Duty Ponchos were wagons, and they ruled the Stock classes of NHRA and AHRA drag ... 

Is there nothing you would enjoy like an old British roadster or maybe a Karman ghia from 1958-59 era. Bill

Upgrades for driveability. It can always be put back to standard. I wouldn't give up my 5 speed 'box for the 4 speed original. Nor the 1600cc for the 1300cc. Nor twin Webers for a downdraft single Solex. Nor the electronic ignition for points. Nor the cli... 

. . . sweet! What I wouldn't give to have one of these under the hood . . . Hemi G . . . of a '65 Dart. Even if it doesn't slant.

...the G20 summit is making the VPN connection here a little jumpy. I'll try watching them later. No 45s. Just 40s with the choke size increased (I can't remember what diameter). Little Alfa engines don't really need 45s until the cams get to the point wh... 

After having owned the Vintage Porsche 356 Speedster For over 8 years now. And my midlife crisis around the corner I\'m looking for something that is capable to do a burn out at will. I\'ll go back to stylish later on ...

I wouldn\'t fit in there if they cut me in half No I\'ve kind off have a new crush since yesterday Although the wagon is still a contender! I can at least tell my wife it\'s a grocery shopping suited family car ;-) ...
