Re: Car Thread
Really nice Corvette, professionally restored with a modern engine and trans. cubic money.
you wouldn't dare drive that car around here for fear of a illegal alien running into it and wrecking it.

Re: Car Thread
Yeah, its full blown resto. Custom chassis with C-6 suspension and brakes (ceramic), LS3 -430HP,4L65E trans, Dana rear end, A/C, and much more. Just like driving a 2013 C6 corvette in a C2 corvette body.

I suppose you could call this the ultimate kit car.

Re: Car Thread
A friend of mine recently bought a number of photos from a collection in the UK, and he sent me a scan of this one, thinking it would be of interest to me. It's a 1933 press photo from The Motor magazine, with a few difficult-to-read notes on the back, so I did some digging.
It's a May 6, 1933 post-race shot from the 250-mile JCC International Trophy race at Brooklands. The cars are MG Magnette K3s, one of a number of models actively campaigned. Of the 33 cars entered in the race, 13 were MGs (four K3s and nine Midgets). The K3s placed 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 10th.
The fellow standing behind the #18 car wearing the hat is Cecil Kimber, managing director of Morris Garage (MG).
To Kimber's left is Eddie Hall (Edward Ramsden Hall), who finished 2nd in the race driving a similar K3. Hall is an interesting guy. In September, four months after the JCC IT, Hall drove a K3 to victory at the BRDC 500-mile race at Brooklands, finishing 43 minutes ahead of the 2nd place car, an MG Magna L. Hall had a long list of race achievements, one of which being his driving the 24-hours of Le Mans solo in 1950. He was also a noted bobsledder early in his career (hey, you gotta have something to do in the winter).
The guy to Hall's left is George Beharrell, managing director of the Dunlop Rubber Company. Beharrell had a long career with Dunlop, retiring as president in 1957.
Standing in the #18 car is driver Elsie "Bill" Wisdom. She finished 3rd in the race, finishing less than four minutes behind Hall and 15 minutes behind the winner (the Honorable Brian "Bug" Lewis in an Alfa). Wisdom had a long brilliant career as a race-car driver, as did her husband Tommy Wisdom. In 1932 Mrs. Wisdom teamed with Aussie driver Joan Richmond to win the JCC 1000-mile race at Brooklands in a Riley 9. She was apparently quite good at sticking it in the boys' eyes. She drove Astons at Le Mans during the 1930s, and eventually moved to rallying after the war. The Wisdoms' daughter Ann would become Pat Moss' navigator on the rally circuit through the 1950s.
From an era long gone, a very cool picture.
