I thought I’d share some good cheer from the Coastal Range Rally and a Fiat and T Bird back o. the road and driving. Toby says hi.

That F Type is Nick, who usually has an Exocet.

M eanwhile, at home, the X1/9 is driveable. New rear calipers are on the way, and braided steel brake lines will be installed with them. Smog is needed to get it off of a non-op registration, but I will remain optimistic.

Nice to see you back. That must have been quite a mental hurdle if it took a pandemic! Toby looks completely unfazed.

Well nice to see Toby is okay at any rate. :P

Stay healthy, stay sane. Is your son still at UNT?  They’ve got things in various degrees of lock down around here. Two cases in Denton County so far.

It took a pandemic to get you here. What will it take to get rid of you again? :P

Good to see you again and with actual real life car content that is growing very very scarce.  Hope your heart and your family are both healthy.

Yo Bro, n othing much happened while you were gone! Every once and a while, I’d wonder what you would say on stuff. Glad to see you are around.

Since you live in the produce breadbasket of the US, how is the supply chain doing?

Oh hey! When was that rally, I was probably still busy as hell. I walk Sylvie down there by the bridge and up the hill sometimes. Hi Toby!

Is that first picture from Ring Mountain? One of my favorite hikes in the Bay Area, miss it a lot.

Believe CRR just finished - I’ve been seeing insta updates from Jason Camissa and the DWA crew  over the last few days as they were all on it.

Very nice car-life update. Thanks for all the awesome photos. It’s good to hear that you are well (enough). And Toby is still truckin’ at all  these events. I think of all these, the fog one with 3 cars is my favorite.

Oh that’s right, you got a Fiat X1/9. A surprisingly worthy choice. Say hi to the friends at I nternational Auto Parts/Centerline.

Hey man! I thought of you this weekend when my local powersports place just put a bunch of Honda Monkeys on clearance. My girlfriend is trying to decide between the monkey, and the super cub. We might be moving to the southwest soon and she’s hopefully enrolling in her PhD program somewhere down there. So she wants to have a bike or scooter to get around campus and town.

Welcome back!  

This post raises two questions in my mind :

Firstly, and most importantly, what is this magic Kinja-fu you are exhibiting that allows you to post that many pictures in one go? It’d have crashed on me at a fraction of that.

Secondly, what happens to the court system during a lockdown? I’d imagine much of the business of the legal fraternity can be done virtually as long as the couriers are still working, but what about actual court appearances ? Are the cases (and bodies ) just going to pile up, or have they figured out a mechanism to keep it running?

Go od to see you’re still ticking.  

What are the odds? I think I’ve popped in here twice since that unpleasantness but lost any and all desire to participate. Haven’t posted since an d doubt I will again.

Stay healthy. G ive Toby a scratch and P umpkin a slow blink for me.

Great to see you here! Thanks for the car/Toby content. Things have been a bi t heavy here, for obvious reasons. How’s Pumpkin? Hammer says hi.

Your invitation to Idiot Fest in September is still good. I have to believe that the world will be back in business by then.

Keep meaning to email you about any info on some  dairies in Nevada. I’m doing a research project involving water use out there. I need to make a Linked In oage since I’m doing careery stuff now.

I’ve got such a soft spot for a used Porsche, if only because it’s counter to every douchebag who buys one. T hat green one with the racks is gorgeous.

Someone reminded me recently that the Fiat was pretty much a Toyota MR2 but like 15 years prior. I’m keen on them now and that one looks very nice.

Good to see you around
