Absolutely gorgeous. One of my dream cars for sure.

I have this problem, that has been a slight nagg, both of my side neighbors here in MB have sold their tow vehicles, some parks don't allow that.

Camero SS replaced a F150 crew cab, Nisson over a Toyota, easier to climb in/out.

I'm due, I've never bought a car on looks alone. Only what is practical, & somewhat water tight. My first one an '51 MGA, my best one '64 E-Type rag.

These things look sooo much better with the fat sidewall tires on. Saw one on Saturday (obviously a kit car), but it had low pros on in some kind of funky pro touring look. Just didn’t look right at all.

Talk about a head turner.

Filling up at a gas station must take longer than usual though!

Agreed. IMO most 60's and 70's muscle cars with newish type large diameter wheels with low profile tires just don't look correct. That Cobra is done very correct.

Thank You. My dream car ever since I was given a ride in one at Fremont Raceway sooo many years ago

Yes, there's usually one or two people asking about her.

Yes, agreed. The Pro-Touring thing doesn't sit well with the Cobra.
But better tires for sure. I love the Avons, better than the old bias-ply GoodYears.

Vintage wheels in Paso's Park,

My past hates me, as shown, two of my past sports cars, gone from my grasp, , ,

Some guy mentioned 007 movies, pointing to this V12 Jag, I don't remember a Jag in a Bond film, anyone?

I knew a couple of guys with AH 3Ks, one with a "Yarrow" last name dropped a small block in one. It wheelied itself to death.

TR 6, I had a GF with one, we spent some magic time down Hwy 1

According to Wikipedia, like 10 of them. I didn't dig to see if this was one of them.

Rediscovered this picture from ages ago. Lincoln flathead V12 powered T-bucket. So damn cool

That's messing with my head. I see the 6 spark plugs but only 4 exhaust headers. Do two of the cylinders share exhaust ports?

My jet owning friend in NC just added a 2023 911T to go with his several year old Cayman and his wife's Cayenne.

yes, the flathead 8 uses the same trick, siamesed exhaust ports for the inner 2 cylinders on each bank = 3 pipes exiting. v12 repeats the same trick, so 4 pipes per side

the effects of tight turns and gas flow and such were not really understood back then

found a picture of a flathead 12 with the heads and valves out, you can see the shared exhaust ports

the v12 wasn't meaningfully better than the v8 btw

Morro Bay car show,

My first pix, I can't figure out what these mirrors do/view.
There are other mirrors (both sides) that take the side view, this is custom all the way and chromed.
View angle may be able to shoot a view forward from the back seat without looking thru the windshield, or hanging the camera out the window in the breeze.

Sharp lookin Rambler, some metal work in the hood?

Pizza delivery?

Love that AMX

Before Miata, another Japanese copy of English sports cars.

In high school we (moto riders) went looking for weather protection, and settled on English, they were cheap/used, and had to deal with the "Prince of Darkness".
We wanted one of these, 2000 had a 5 speed, , ,
This one is straight, black mirror paint, with blonde hair in the wind.

Who can resist a red Norton, in a red pickup?

That’s awesome. What kind of camera setup you got going on there?

Insta360 X3 with a old RODE boom mic. The exhaust clipped the audio. I have to adjust the db setting on the mic.
