    I'd be totally down. Fix the ignition switch, fuel lines and do a tune-up and this little guy would probably make it a fair distance.

    Being a product of the mid eighties, it's slim pickin's for me. I knew a guy in high school who had one of these. I've always thought they're pretty cool.

    Great car(s). I got to photograph the 2E for a magazine. They took the car out of the museum, and I did the cover shot in front of the modest steel building where it was built. I did the rest of the shots out at the "Rattlesnake Raceway."

    [​IMG]

    I have a cover from the magazine, with Jim Hall's signature, hanging in my office. Super nice guy.

    BTW, I also got to drive a few laps of the Rattlesnake Raceway in the Porsche Cayenne press car I drove out to Midland. The track was in really bad shape, but I still had a good time.

    I was also at the Monterey Historics when the Chaparrals did parade laps at Laguna Seca. I was on the wall at the Corkscrew, and remember people looking at me funny when I ducked down low when the 2J came around. They got it whan they got sand-blasted by the fans. :biggrin5:

    Nice choice. I've had the good fortune to meet Derek Bell on four or five occasions. I have a picture of us together, somewhere, from the Monterey Historics, where my friend and I had a long car talk with him. Of course, we had my friend's cute little daughter with us, and she was wearing a pink Porsche hat. She was about 8 years old. The conversation started with Derek kneeling down for a picture with my friend's little girl, and she knew who he was -- good girl, daddy taught you well. :biggrin5:

    The Starion is a badass! I love those cars, but 99.9% of them have been trashed already. [emoji20]

    As there are several dream choices, I've decided on the 1956 Aston Martin DB3S, in its original racing livery. My dilemma, however, is I'm a bit short of the 5.5 Million it'd take to put me in the seat.

    Not much to choose from in 1947. Guess I'll just go with my Dad's Chevy Fleetline.
