Yeah, Ed, I was surprised not to see pics of you car. I hope we can get in a couple of better shots next year. XD

If you go Boxster make sure it had the IMS bearing replaced already.

If it were me I’d look (again) at the Honda S2000. Cool car, not common, loads of fun. Try to find one that some boy racer has never messed with. They’re out there.

Fox-body Mustangs I never loved, though some people do love them and they make a pretty stout hotrod. If I had one,…

I’m glad they chose a couple shots with you and your car, Vicenc. Couple years ago they had Bridget in the slideshow. It was a proud moment.

Hi Greg,

For polishing… 1,100 to 1,300 RPM

For cutting…2,000 to 2,500

For a beginner (which I am) a dual action buffer (aka random orbital) is safer than an orbital. The latter just spins. The former spins, and moves the entire head, resulting in a more random action on paint surface.

Any orbital buffer can burn the paint, regardless of the…

Thanks for the great pix!

That’s funny, Bob. The world looks like that when I don’t have my glasses also.
Bob replied to the topic Pittsburgh Grand Prix Countryside Tour 2015 in the forum Clubs and Show 9 years, 8 months ago

That blurred picture of your car is almost as bad as I see without my eyeglasses on.

😆

Now my eyes are tired. 😉 That’s a bunch of pictures you linked to back in August that I must have missed seeing before.

So many car colors. I thought maybe my black car would be a common one. Maybe not, eh?

Thanks for the picture show!

Almost…its a monotone color scheme.
Vicenç Feliú replied to the topic Pittsburgh Grand Prix Countryside Tour 2015 in the forum Clubs and Show 9 years, 8 months ago

Found these on the PVGP website, not the greatest pics of my car but you can see it if you look for it.

That’s it! Good memory check, Vicenc!
Vicenç Feliú replied to the topic Carlisle 2016 – IMPORTANT UPDATES in the forum Clubs and Show 9 years, 8 months ago

Here’s the reference for Ed’s story: http://www.caroholic.com/52TD.htm

About two thirds down the page in the “September 17, 2006 – Brown’s Island British Car Show” entry.

Key word, my man: BOGUS.

I read a story once wherein a TD replica owner showed up at a British car show and was waved through the gate to enter. “It’s a German spy,” he told the uncomprehending dude-at-the-gate.

Supposedly won an award.
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Carlisle 2016 – IMPORTANT UPDATES in the forum Clubs and Show 9 years, 8 months ago

Yes Ed, bogus British something. But not muscle.The muscles behind these bogus Brits are American, German and Japanese. 😉
edward ericson replied to the topic Ford kit, – Just add water! in the forum MGTD Kit Cars Unfinished 9 years, 8 months ago

I’d go $1,000. If he’d deliver.

Basically, this is Bill Ascheman’s car, de-tuned. Or a nice load of spares for Bill!
edward ericson replied to the topic Carlisle 2016 – IMPORTANT UPDATES in the forum Clubs and Show 9 years, 8 months ago

Yes, let’s once again flex our bogus British muscle, stand tall for the Allies, stiff upper lip & all that rot. 🙂
Bob replied to the topic Ford kit, – Just add water! in the forum MGTD Kit Cars Unfinished 9 years, 8 months ago

Or just add seats and drive it on Daytona Beach.

Yeah, gee, I didn’t pay much more for my completed car; including top with boot, side curtains and tonneau cover. Gratefully so.

And to think that price is actually less than a new kit was 25 years ago without the donor car.

Maybe someone will eventually get it for several grand just to have fun…

Looks like A LOT of work! No gauges, interior, etc. so needs more MONEY, too!I paid $300 dollars MORE for my COMPLETE LR and drove it from Chicago to Champaign, IL the next day.:cool:But if you’re looking for a challenge, GO FOR IT!
Vicenç Feliú replied to the topic Happy new year in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 8 months ago
