But, regarding compact engine size and prominent electric generation devices, the hot rodders had no problems with the flathead V8.
Loooong day at Land Rover followed by a quick walkabout in Stratford Upon Avon, where I got a pint of Abbot at the Pen and Parchment.
When I was a kid, my aunt drove a ‘67 Malibu like this one. You’ve never burned your legs until you’ve sat on its black vinyl seats in shorts in the summer! However, it also had all-time great air conditioning.
I got to see a Cray-1 in person at Seattle's late, lamented Living Computers Museum in 2018, before Paul Allen's family liquidated the museum.
Two important things to know about McDreamy: 1) He's older than I am! 2) As a Mazda guest driver, I finished six places ahead of him in an MX-5 Cup race, in a car I'd never driven, at a track I'd never seen, without doing the Friday practice day, while he was a series regular in his own car.
Met this fellow yesterday when he spent the day stopping traffic on Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park.
First picture with my new refurbished SX-70, and wow the current Polaroid film is even worse than I feared. But this camera is absolutely the pinnacle of analog technology and design.
Escaped the 100-degree heat today by fleeing to Shenandoah National Park, where we hiked to Rose River Falls and Dark Hollow Falls, where the water was chilly.
Survived the heat last night at the drive-in. Went for the venue, not the movie because the new Minions movie is as dull as you’d expect.
