He returns! I was missing your threads man, they're always a joy to read.

Comedy suggestion so this isn't just back patting: Model T engine with one of the trick heads that makes it OHC (or even DOHC).

a friend gave this to me - apparently spirited driving along the famous Mulholland highway has been something thats been going on for a long long time - there are many tales that I've heard over the years, but I can never really get a solid story out of anyone, but there are definitely people around who know more about it that are keeping tight lips. many years ago, after a few too many beers we decided to go looking for long lost cars that had washed out in the various canyons, I had actually seen one when I was very little, but don't remember anything about it or its location. there are very popular hiking trails all throughout the canyon system.. I've used these canyons to get to and from whatever job I've been on over the years - LA traffic sucks no matter what, but its more fun to take these canyons!

If you're curious, there's a massive thread over on Pelican Parts that has a lot of older folks chiming in about their experiences back in the 70s and 80s Mulholland racing scene. Lotta photos from back in the day too.

The heck is that thing on the side? Is it an ancient battery or something?

Awesome photos from Peterson. Disappointing they turned level 1 into a Tesla shrine.

Level 1 has always been a rotating exhibit sort of thing. There was a whole thing with Porsche a while ago, there was one where they had a bunch of cards and props from James Bond on display, there was a small display of the Warhol paintings done for Mercedes (along with the cars), etc. Looking on their site, the Tesla display is only going until October.
