Wow. That outdoes the Hallmark ads! Well done.

I'm just wondering what Ed is actually working on right now - in keeping with the subject of this thread. Probably a "potent potable."😉

That big house had certainly seen better times before that picture was snapped.

Let me be the first to welcome you! So sorry to hear of the loss of your father and it is wonderful to have such tangible reminders of family. You will get great advice from the folks here on maintaining your treasured vehicle. The first request will be for pictures - we love to see everyone’s projects! Cheers!

Proof positive that the nether world exists in some of our creations. Ask Matt.

I too drive one (or two) every day - Fiat and Ford Ranger. Learned on my brother’s 1948 Willys Jeepster when I was 15. Now at 60 I’ve rarely been away from them.

Not seeing the logo. Am I missing it somewhere?

My first impression was that they were plumbing bezels, but I've been wrong quite a few times!

Statistics. Ugh. The only one I've heard that is believable is that 75% of the people make up 3/4ths of the population. Of course, this requires an advanced mathematics degree.

She looks like she would like some tea. Definitely British.

Great progress! It took me much longer than I had imagined when I put the soundproofing in the Fiat Granluce I've been working on. It will be worth the effort, though!

I absolutely love the deadpan delivery. It's easy to see how people can be fooled by knowledgeable-sounding people. Well, off to the garage to fix my noisy car...

1956 Oldsmobile 4 door sedan. Nothing quite like seeing a cloud of smoke suddenly appear from under the car while on a freeway and being unable to get to a berm quickly. Extremely unnerving to turn the key off and have it INSTANTLY go silent. I had just changed the oil (teenager) and didn't get the gasket set right on the filter canister. Luckily after cooling down, being towed, refilled with oil, it ran better than it ever had.

Scuba nut, thank you for the compliment, actually the only reason it has moved along is the example others have set on this forum along with their help and advice. Having a best friend that restores cars for a living is pretty important also. I had to laugh when I read your quote “I hope you live long enough to drive that car”, I hate those backhanded compliments.
A good response might be “I hope you live long enough to see me driving my car and my smile thinking of what I accomplished “ oh by the way I am 63 and feel that I need to pickup the pace. I have 10 more projects I want to finish and using that last one as a example I will have to live another 500 years! I will include a picture of my next project
Tell me what this is!

Ah.... Claudette!

My 1959 Fiat Granluce has the same type of drum. No experience driving it yet as it is a "work in progress!"

My 1958 Citroen 2cv Van gives people plenty of time to ponder it's uniqueness in this area as I drive by.

I don't believe I've ever seen a photo with the lift operator in view. Like it!

WOW! I love the door panels (cards?) in this car! I don't think I've ever seen these before. Great car!

Looks amphibious to me.

I heard that 95% of every (insert car make here) ever manufactured is still on the road. The other 5% made it home.

Nice. I once owned a blue/white 1960 Lesabre 4dr and absolutely loved it. What a great car!

I hate "Go juice." I hate hearing "I've got 370 coats of clear over my 89 coats of color over 40 coats of primer." Ok - Love your car but the excessive bragging is a real turnoff - especially when the factory paint on my car looks better.
