    If you want to pick flies out of your teeth, try one of these. Made in Mexico too. Designed by the sons of one of my old racing buddies.

    I think this is exactly the reason Singer and other Restomods have become so popular. The new cars look nice, go like stink, but have no real emotion or connection to the old school spirit of driver involvement. Any one can drive a new Porsche fast as hell and with today's traffic clogged right ads they are completely useless unless you track the cars. I truly believe this is why the Carrera T has been well received, simply because it is more drive focused and engaging, but IMO still an over priced new Porsche. Yes GT cars are amazing and very involving, but they are so good that they really need to be on the track. Same restomod concept goes for the FJ Land Cruisers that Jonathan Ward builds at ICON along with his other masterpieces. Well done restomod's offer period looks with a more tactile connection between road, driver and car. Not many can afford a $600K Singer so these $150-200K tributes fill the void.
