Fun. There's a very active Cars & Coffee group here. I need to get out to one.


Meanwhile, I rewatched The Big Chill last night (having been just near Beaufort, S.C., where it was filmed). I had forgotten about the very beat up 911T that the William Hurt character drives...

I was in Hilton Head, where I also spotted a red Hummer2 that is a kind of precursor to the Jeep Gladiator.

Ha! There's a used one for sale near me. https://www.carfax.com/vehicle/5GRGN22868H106446

I think I really want to be Robin masters. I love the 308/328. I figured I would outgrow it by now, but nope I still think it is hot as shit.
Edit: further to this... If I had all the money, the first thing I'd buy is a 288gto.

72s are interesting because they are the last Vettes with no emissions controls and chrome bumpers front and rear. But, it's a coupe.

Just get one of these... much less than a 308/328 or GTO...

I wonder if it had shifting on the "wrong" side as well; I hear some BSA's are left shifter... You know, just to be opposite.

Huh? Do you mean shifting on the right?

Lots of British bikes back then were right-foot shift.
