If we were buying a new car this would be it. Except it would be British Racing Green with a tan interior.

Bentley GT



In the meanwhile I have to drive this:




If memory serves me right this Jag model could come with a turbo V8


Yeppers! It's turbo alright.

I wouldn't mind turning them into a Rolls or a Bentley but I tend to keep my cars forever.

I have had the Oldmobile since 1979 (1970 Cutlass Supreme 455/500ftlbs torque)

And my Jaguar is a 1980 that I built a GM 350 racer for and installed 2yrs ago with so much chrome you have to wear sun glasses to look at it.

They only come out on a sunny day too (spoiled cars)

Fast and smooth.........

And here's the latest incarnation, the 2007 Ford GT.



This one will cost you about $1,000,000.00 less than the '67.

Well, it's nice enough I guess, all civilized and all. But I like the '67 much better...it's a wicked car!

Apart from anything else lots of pictures will turn this into a "trade catalog" of the automotive industry.

Automobiles, one of the major causes of death and destruction in this country.

Glorification of the mechanical beast ain't 'kid' friendly.

Therefore I'm removing any images that I've posted.

To each His/Her own!! :o)


For what you sat in your message it can be held to for any motorized vehicle. It is the person(s) operating the vehicle that causes death and destruction.
