Okay, so there’s this thing, and I have an almost pathological desire to buy it:
…and I think it’s exquisite.
No, it’s not an actual MG TD, but a copy. Don’t care. The reason I really want to buy it is this:
Take that, you safety Nazis. The hell with you all; my next birthday is my 71st, and that’s all there is to say about it.
That is a cutie, and it’s only $16k.
Hell, you can flip a couple couch cushions and come up with that!
No air bags or seat belts for that matter. It’s one safety feature is that it’s a kit car based on a Chevy Chevette so you will likely never get it to go far enough, fast enough or long enough to be in any danger. At least it doesn’t have the wire wheels so you would probably be able to drive it multiple days in a row before it got a flat tire or an out of round wheel.
Makes a nice Garage ornament though if you h
ave the extra room.
Like real men – impaled on the steering column.
Don’t forget thrust halfway through the windshield with a shredded face. That’s always good for the tabloids.
Kim,
In the space of “fantasy ride” .. there’s one set of wheels which really caught my eye. PBS (yes, I know the whole lot of the PBS intelligencia are a bunch of detestable commie fucks) airs the Brit retread version of All Creatures Great and Small. In the retread is a car, a pretty, pretty car. It’s a late 1930’s Rover convertible in green. Other than color, it bears a strong resemblance to your ride in this post. My soon to be Bride does not understand why I like that car so much. I suspect you’ll believe a tad bit differently.
