Lot going on in town.... In some areas they are adding raised concrete islands to force people to only make right hand turns pulling out from an establishment.... In other areas they are laying those yellow gas line trunks.... Main street is pretty much "Orange Barrel Boulevard"....
Nothing like adding backpressure to an exhaust system.... This is a mucher beta idea..... Turn up the volume so you can hear this awesomeness in the making.... [ame=http://youtu.be/ieJUP9O9RG8]Toyota corolla turbo fart can AWESOME SOUND vaasa ( vasa ) - YouTube[/ame]
I wish I had my real camera with me when I went out to eat this evening, or really anything with a flash. The first Sunbeam Alpine I've seen in the "flesh." Great condition, gorgeous blue paint job. Beautiful car, too bad you can't tell from the lousy pics.
Wonder what the role of the roll bar is? Nice Alpines are a rarity & you stumbled on a very nice one.
Saw a teenager in a '64 Impala Station Wagon, mid-restoration going down the hwy just now. Looked like it was already bagged, made me happy!
The wheels, an excellent stylistic fit IMO, made it obvious the owner wasn't trying to keep it fully original so I didn't wonder too much about the bar. The car looked like it was very well cared for but driven for fun rather than just for show. Didn't manage to catch the owner so didn't get to ask about it.
