Replying to: andys120 (Jun 28, 2009 8:03 am) I suspect the TR3 lady, in her floppy hat, was a longtime owner and probably has an attachment to the car.   The Porsche lady however...she had a couple younger passengers in the car, I was guessing they were her kids, and maybe her other half had recently become unable to drive for whatever reason, and they were seeing if she could drive it, or teaching her. She was sitting very close to the wheel, almost over it, and looked unhappy. Maybe she could be convinced to sell   The TR3 was baby blue, and the 356 was white (of course) with 1963 year of manufacture plates.

Out and about in my own obscure car today, and all I have seen was a pagoda SL from a distance, and an immaculate early 80s Mazda 626 coupe, driven by a very young looking Asian girl - who almost got rear ended by a distracted yuppie idiot in a Lexus GX. I haven't seen a nice example of one of those Mazdas in a long time.   I have a memory of those cars...when I was a little kid, maybe around 1982 or so, the neighbor lady had a yellow Fox body Mustang, with T-tops and all of the malaise sport trim. I remember I thought it was an awesome car, and she told me she'd take me for a ride in it with the T-tops off someday, as they interested me. Well, one day the Mustang was gone and in its place was a new 626 coupe, with "Luxus" badging - I remember it clearly. I didn't ever ask for that ride.

#16631 of 17961 Jowett Jupiter by bob550k Jun 30, 2009 (3:13 pm)
I saw a Jowett Jupiter. The only one I've seen in my life. Now that's a bizarre car.   I watched a Fiat Jolly go by on a Flat bed today   And an old blue haired lady crusing PCH in a beautiful 67 e type Jag Coupe.   A good day over all.

#16632 of 17961 Buick Riviera by kyfdx HOST Jun 30, 2009 (3:15 pm)
I'm pretty sure it was a '64.. In perfect condition.... in a sort-of-light blue, that looked like a factory color..   Really, really nice...

Replying to: bob550k (Jun 30, 2009 3:13 pm) The Fiat Jolly is probably worth more, and a hotter item in the marketplace, than the Jaguar E Type coupe if it's a 2+2 coupe, but you said it was beautiful so I assume it's a Series 1 coupe from 1967--the far better looking of the two coupe models for '67. The 2+2 is consider ungainly by most Jag people and is not desired. You can buy these under $15000 if they are automatics.

Today's oddity - ca. 1991 Mitsu Galant VR4 - the loaded high tech model that must suffer from both unobtanium parts and mechanical maladies, as they are virtually extinct now. Also saw an early K-car LeBaron sedan and a loud pagoda SL that almost sounded like a small V8 - but I think the exhaust can be tuned that way.   Edit: A-H 3000 just drove by my window, steel blue, looked pristine.

#16636 of 17961 Saw by boomchek Jun 30, 2009 (8:27 pm)
a first generation late 90s Audi A8 today. Still a nice car but looks too much like an A4, just larger scale. I think the MB S class and BMW 7 series of that era have more presence. Replies to this message: texases (Jul 01, 2009 6:24 am) fintail (Jul 01, 2009 6:33 am)
