62 Austin

They're Baaaaack: This Just In: "A large boulder the size of a large boulder is blocking the southbound lane Hwy 145 mm28 in Stoner Creek area of Montezuma County. Expect delays." #largeboulder pic.twitter.com/9WJ1nKB67Q — San Miguel Sheriff (@SheriffAlert) February 5, 2021

47 Years ago I was in my last year of university and drove a 1962 Metropolitan, a kind of mixed-race product of a Nash and an Austin...badged at various times as a Nash, Hudson and AMC. This isn't me....but that's pretty close to what my car and I looked like. Stand aside, Roger Moore, I will soon be squiring Jane Seymour and/or Barbara Bach around in my Babe Magnet!

'Round here, AI refers to a different way to propagate cattle. Glad your PM is on the up and up about animal husbandry!

An actress named Rita La Roy and her front-wheel-drive Ruxton:

... I believe this is male fantasy #314. If your interests include finding a woman with an ace taste in cars, this might be the ticket. I think this may be Judy Garland when the money started coming in.

Seen on the motorway somewhere near you!

The prairie dog attraction I mentioned on I-70 is <sadly> defunct....but here's a piccie and a tourist review of the 8,000-pound concrete critter & pit stop you missed. A plywood wall prevented one from viewing the main attraction from the highway until $9.50 was handed over. Some say a rival to this world's largest prairie dog exists in South Dakota. David Attenborough might say: "Stonehenge, Easter Island, the monument to Ramses II. Now America can claim it's place in monumental sculpture!" mamabutterfly4cage Oakley, Kansas 22 Reviewed August 7, 2017 Closed This location has been closed for several years. It was never worth a visit even when it was open. It was a total tourist trap. It should be deleted from existence altogether. Date of experience: August 2017 ...

I enjoyed watching the excitement, grizz. I'd be in 7th heaven going to the UK -- so good to see the reverse in your case. I'm from Kansas-Land so was wondering how that went on on the errand to pick up some Thirties car. It's a long way from Chi-town to anywhere in Kansas! It's a long way from Kansas City to anywhere in Kansas. Unlike the UK, Kansas has the Geographical Center of the USA, the Wrld's Largest Prairie Dog*, and The World's Largest Hand-Dug Well(you'd think that was a 3rd-World Accolade). I almost got to take a free trip to England 9 years ago -- but chose to back out for ethical reasons(long story).

The first series of Illustrations of Lasses Used To Sell Cars were The Peerless Girls...appearing in 1903 through 1905. One was so shocking as to show an exposed ankle and they all were in motoring attire. [Shocking!]

....Actress Goldie Hawn again and a Ferrari Mondial.

Here's a very strange ad for an AMC Javelin...

...... This is allegedly an actress going head over heels for a 1960 Nash Metropolitan micro-car. I owned one in my university days. The effect this car has on women is indescribable.

I would say...Washing Her New 1974 Mustang II, In front of the White House. Motor Trend Car of the Year for 1974, you know. The Moldavian production of "Fiddler On the Roof"

Thanks for the correction on the Alfa Romeo.

Driver of Maserati GP car. Would have liked to have had a cup of Expresso with her. Perhaps my Dad had the pleasure when he lived in Italy! If someone found a car like this and wanted to swan into a Motor Racing Legends event and compete, would it cost you Bugatti money, or more?

Jo Lewis in 2019; head of the McLaren material design team.

The fabulous Camaro Waikiki show car of 1967...with teak wood* panels, gold shag carpeting, and European square headlights. Gracing this photo shoot is a surfboard and a hula dancer from Hawaii...all meant to convince us it's Waikiki Beach. Unless you recognize Detroit as the setting for this beach party.

There is a laundromat I used regularly which had this happen. "The Highlander" laundry in Pinedale, Wyoming was in the middle of the world's biggest natural gas drilling development in 2005, and some hoser came in with some coveralls straight from the drilling rig, soaked in distillates...the not oil/not gas liquid one has come out of an 8,000-ft.-deep well before the prime depth is reached. It's very flammable. He popped one or two pair of coveralls into the dryer after a wash --- their gaseous matter vapourized in the natural gas-fueled dryer and BOOM! The row of dryers all faced a couple of cheap plastic seats backed by a couple of big windows and a concrete block structural wall. All of it was blown out into the parking lot by the blast and the whole wall had to be rebuilt before they reopened. That's why there are signs at self-serve laundries saying NO DISTILLATES! NO GREASERS! NO DISGUSTING OIL & GREASE-SOAKED MECHANIC'S DUDS!

Only Looking Good In This Color If A Lamborghini

...and here I thought this is what a trophy wife was supposed to look like.

"Rude, Eccentric, Allergic To Men; the Bentley Girls who revolutionised motor racing" I believe was the caption in The Telegraph. Also: "The dazzling Bentley Boys roared through the 1920s, breaking records and hearts with their speed and glamour. From circuit to circuit they were pursued by a retinue of female admirers as they burnished the Bentley brand. But two remarkable women would also play a very special part in Bentley’s heritage, both of them much more interested in speed than men..." "...fast-living, aristocratic women." Members of the aristocracy. Check. Unlimited access to 4 1/2 liter Bentleys. Check. Hideously wealthy. Check. Where were these girls when I was 23 years old? No doubt all I lacked was the '28 Bentley "Bobtail" I see around here all the time & an ice bucket full of Rothschild's champagne to whisk them away!
