• Polar Bear!

    Yeah, well, not much in the “polar” department, what with clear skies and temperature in the low 70s. BUT, we did have three polar bears join us: two stuffed and one ambulatory (the latter arrived in a red MGA…there might be a message there). Anyway, we had 42 cars and about 75-80 participants, driving a…

  • Best Laid Plans…

    Middle of January and we have a two-day break from the cold weather. Pushing the mid-40s, partly cloudy skies, perfect opportunity to get the High Speed Doorstop (HSD; my ’80 TR8) out for a local recce run, right? Perhaps take in a nice sunset from Queeny Park? Wouldn’t you know it: spent a couple of…

  • Happy New Year!

    I’ve lived in the Midwest three times, Nebraska, North Dakota and now 14.5 years in St Louis, Missouri. I cannot recall a New Year’s Day where the temperature hit 60 degrees but shoot, time to get the HSD out on a local patrol, eh? Ended up spending about an hour behind the wheel, absolutely perfect…

  • LBC Sighting, Chester County, TN, Edition!

    On the road again, earlier today while driving through downtown Henderson, TN, I spied what looked like a Nissan 280ZX parked behind an auto shop. Went back there, wondering what else might be in the lot and how ’bout that, a 68-74 Midget! Despite being on the ground, it actually looked to be in good…

  • LBEV Sighting, Multnomah County Edition!

    Yup, another road trip, this time the annual trek to the Pacific Northwest for a visit with kids and grandkids. As per usual I’ve kept an eye out for classic LBCs, such as Triumphs, MGs, Healeys, etc. Regrettably, as I prepare for my return to St Louis, haven’t seen any other than a possible MGB…

  • LBC Sighting, Pima County Edition!

    Was prowling around Ryan Airfield this morning, 14 miles west of Tucson on the Ajo Highway, looking for interesting aircraft…and doggone, hit the daily double on LBCs! Long as I’m at it, later that evening I stumbled across this at a In and Out Burger up on east Broadway.
