...My good friend, Gary is nearing completion of his impeccable 1930 Monocoupe with first firing of its ultra-rare Lambert R-266 engine. This is a seven year restoration to factory specs with as many original parts and old school craftsmanship. She'll be flying soon once all the bugs (and...

...Very nice! Outside of a KR, that would be my dream car :-)

...That lead '51 was in excess of 500 mph. At that speed (well as all of the slower AT-6s), the propeller tips are beyond the sound barrier - sending mini shock waves that mess with close-in video cameras...

...Roar you say?? Welcome to my September home in the desert :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cq2oncajZU

...Nice! :-)

...Also, <check engine> lights come on for a myriad of reasons, mostly minor (to include a loose gas cap and even engine cleaning). They typically don't go off right away after correcting the problem, though long as you suspect what it was, a 10-20-mile drive usually clears it :-)

...That's cuz Neil's an "airplane" guy where lives depend on perfection. :-)

...About an hour & half from here near Chico...

...Maybe it's looking for You! ;-)

...Same way we've dealt with owners who run all around and try to get people to vote for their own cars in "popularity" shows. We simply quit including them in our group. Getting there (and the cruise afterward) should be as enjoyable as being there far as I'm concerned... The cars always...

With likewise respect for concours types yet based on my experience, I couldn't agree more ...^... Many genuine encounters, friendships, and even a few Mustang buyers resulted from chance at restaurants, gas stations & just being seen. Curiosity from these folks also leads to real enthusiasm...

...No kidding! I no sooner got to the track and....> ;-)

...Hmm... ;-)

...What Rob says... and I use my monogrammed "Jose Cuervo" shot glass. :-)

...Would love to have joined you, but here we woke up to a "white out" ;-) Also, in winter when mine sit for a few weeks without running, I'll remove the air cleaner top, prime just a bit and they always fire right up (waking up the rest of the systems with no unreasonable wear & tear on the...

...Like this, Rob?

...Arlie is correct :-) I simply took Neil's photo, isolated the wheel then grafted to this pic to give a quick illustration. The second pic is a more dedicated goofiness ;-)

...Something different. 'Glad you like it! This next take is from my post of over 27 years. The video ripple is precisely how your body feels when they come ripping by at around 500 mph!...> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cq2oncajZU ...A thrill that's defies description ;-)

...An exciting YouTube a friend of mine recently completed on modified WWII iron at its finest during the world's fastest motorsport in Reno, NV. This is where Renee, TJ and I (and a growing crew) "Mecca" each year for five days in the desert. Go full screen, turn up the sound and enjoy! :-)...

Hmm.... >
