Am on vacation, and picked up a copy of the classic book "The Red Car", read in a day on the beach. Everyone on this list should read this classic of a 16 year old kid in 1954 fixing a wrecked 1948 MG TC to go racing. I was born way too late to have even known this book existed until recently, but it's dead-center on about how most of us felt the first time we saw these cars.

Last, but not least controversially, I recently posted a camshaft 4 sale. It was bought buy a lister who mic'd it and found it within the tolerances of a new one. It saw duty in a mild race motor from 2003 to 2005 with Redline oil. That's Redline Oil - the synthetic stuff used by most of the vintage racers.
