Nice greener, I could see tooling around in one of those.

Wife & I went to an old car show this past weekend. Here's a picture of my car in the parking lot.

1936 Rolls Royce

Wow! I always liked those old Rolls, Benvenue.

Cars only go, stop and turn. Add Lightnesss. I can out stop you and outturn you; you'll beat me in a straight line. Deadly little car.

Sweet ride Dr Dave. I see a "15 MPH" speed limit. Do you really expect us to believe you never speed! I have never driven one but did own a new 68 Fiat 850 Spyder and it was a blast to drive. I traded it on a 69 124 Spyder. Very fast, once beat a 375 HP fuel injected vette with. (Guy drove a stick like a girl.) It was fast but the 850 was more fun. The only thing I could out drag was an "automatic Stickshift" Beetle. My ZO6 is fun, 485 "dyno" HP.
