    Stopped by the body shop to check on son's girlfriend justa.

    This was parked out front.

    It feels like I should be scolding myself for being so anti-front plate when this guy has one hanging off the front of one of his numerous Ferraris.

    Although that plate looks horrible on that car.

    Like the Spitfire conversion. Regarding the Ferrari. When I used to rally a MG Maestro in Dubai my sponsor was Al-Tayer motors. LR, Rover and Ferrari dealer. The support deal was I got to use their workshop to work on the humble Maestro. So I pulled in early morning to find the MG parked smack in the middle of 4 Ferrari's. Next the MG was a new F40 (this was back in the 90's) ordered by a local Sheik. So I set about working on the MG ready for the rally with just 2 feet between the MG and the F40. after 30 mins I couldn't work on the MG any more for fear of scratching the F40 . So I got the workshop tech to take the MG and deposit it somewhere safe. In the 90's we didn't have camera phones so that moment is just a nice memory.

    Also they had a shop in there dedicated to ripping out the Ferrari/Range Rovers interiors and repainting the body so the owners don't have the same car as the guy down the street! Insane to see a brand new Ferrari interior ripped out and trashed! I saw yellow, White , Blue , Pink and multi-coloured Ferrari's. Oooh the money.

    OMG that brings back memories! I drove one those and the Matra Rancho....dreadful cars. A mishmash of Renault,Talbot, Peugeot and Citroen parts. I believe the engine was a 2.2L Chrysler Solara engine. The Rancho was an ugly FWD SUV looking rust bucket with fiber glass panels in places.

    I think the second photo is of the earlier concept which had a shorter windshield, among other things...can't actually remember what else changed along the way.

    I would love to move to Montana. But I would probably have to put my MINI body on a Jeep frame. I did see a convertible VW Rabbit done this way.

    I've been getting a lot of "failure to upload" lately and have had to use Photobucket too.
    Nicer pics, but it takes a little longer.

    Was it there when you arrived or did it sneak up on you while you were eating?
