    I received it also, I didn't catch any misspelled words but a lot of bad grammar. The only quality to it is the paper.

    I spy with my little eye that MC2 is not a vendor nor a sponsor for MOTD 2016. Only the largest event by attendance in one place in the country.

    Before you ask, of course Motoring Alliance is a sponsor. How could you doubt that!

    Yeah, I got one too. The subscription was a gift from my son's girlfriend. She didn't know any better. :no nod:

    EDIT: I told her thank you and that I loved it.

    Nothing like a Hummer in the back of your MINI.

    A good friend is building a 1970 Chevelle SS convertible clone.
    He has owned the car since it was new and has been collecting new old stock parts, for years, to do it right.

    He has done a number of frame up restorations of it over the years, but this is the fist time it will be an SS.

    He is a concours judge for Chevrolets from 1955 to 1980, so I know it will be done right.

    ^^^^ It's good to see old iron being saved..

    I'm afraid the future holds trying to find replacement lithium ion battery cells, updating dash apps and removing scratches from carbon fiber fender skins...

    Not a good future for what will be referred to as "personal transportation entertainment pods"....

    Saw a car yesterday that jumped to the top of my got to have list. At the Carlisle Import & Performance show a guy from Calif. had a 356A Porsche with a mid-engine Subaru WRX behind the
    seats. 330 hp and the car weighed 2200 lbs. It was a coupe not a speedster and was a replica (think Beck). It was tube framed with a fiberglass body. He said a company in Tenn. makes
    them. My last question was of course how much, the car cost 50k from the builder and he has another 30k in it. Sorry no pics but I'm trying to find the name of the building company. His
    car was not a one off and all the company makes are Subie engine Porsche replicas.

    That's it. The coupe under the 1957 outlaw banner on the

    right side was his car. You had to see it in the flesh to

    really appreciate it.

    Nice catch! :)
