"It's hard to believe that I've had the Targa for 3 years and haven't joined this group yet. Well, finally I've done it. Time flies when you're having fun.
Began ownership of the Targa August of '13 at 17,500 miles. At the recent Zone 12 Zonefest, it…"

"Just got the bad news today. The sunroof of my X3 is out on a workbench at the shop. Two repair kits were necessary to fix all of the pieces that were broken. Tomorrow I get the painful cost. Not looking forward to it."

"It's almost 6 months we've had the new E-Type. Just turned 4,000 miles. I'm beginning to become accustomed to it. After spending 3 years with a sports car in sedan clothes (BMW 328i) the E took some getting used to. It's a bank vault on wheels."

"Vernon:

I'll pass your location on to one of our FAC members who gets up your way occasionally. He spends a lot of time near Boone, NC.

Our show yesterday wasn't for Concours cars. Just daily drivers.

As for "socialism," we have a LONG way to go…"

"Vernon, et al.

You say you're in the South. But, don't mention where.

The Florida Alfa Club had its annual picnic and car show at Ft. DeSoto Park (Best beach in US) yesterday. Not a lot of cars, but some nice Alfas Lancias & Fiats.

Some of us…"

"Stephen:

Who are these people? I just received this comment: "Julie Hollis said…
Don't be so bloody stupid lol"

I don't know her & it seems she sent the same comment to just about everyone on the VRL.

Norm Sippel replied to Casey Annis's discussion GM RIP? in Vintage Racecar Journal Group
"Casey:

I agree with you. And, here is what I base my opinion on - 2 years living in the Detroit area (Troy) after growing up in New Jersey and always wondering why American cars had lost their appeal after the '60s.

I was the Associate Auto Editor…"

"Stephen:

Is there a way we can adjust the height:width ratio to preserve the correct perspective of photos on our pages? Most are like the Altes Forsthaus two comments below - squeezed. Is that a result of certian files sizes, or types of files?…"

"Cara:

I wish we had known about your company last year when we were in France. As a long-time MGB owner (4 of them between 1966 & 2007), a day in the provences in a familiar car would have been too much fun. Instead, we "suffered" through 3 days in…"

Norm Sippel replied to Casey Annis's discussion HANS Requirements Coming in 09-10 in Vintage Racecar Journal Group
"As Casey stated, head & neck restraints don't cut it in the Pre-War class. But, for those of us racing cars from the '50s and '60s, there is value as well. While not all are blindingly fast as some of the newer cars may be, we go fast enough. (I saw…"

  • Hi Norm
    We ban the "fruitcakes" as soon as we spot them :-))
  • Hi Norm
    Thanks for the note.
    Sadly, you can only have one Home Page photo but you can personalise your Home Page appearance.
    Secondly, I'd have to have to be with you in Palm Harbor to adjust your photo or screen reolution to get the photos to look right.
    However, I will check with our CTO to see if there is an easy fix.
    Thanks for your feedback.
    Warmest regards - Stephen
  • Hi Norm,
    Nice to hear from you and love your cars. Have a look at www.classiccarhireworld.com for classic car hire companies near Munich. If you venture to France again then please get in touch. All the best, Cara
  • Thank you Norm :-))
  • Hi Norm
    Great to have you on board :-))
    Welcome to MyVRL.
    Please personalize the appearance of your Home Page, join the Alfa Romeo and your other favorite car Groups, post photos (and race videos if you have them) and invite your VSCCA, VDCA and AROC friends to join.
    I look forward to meeting you.
    All the best - Stephen
