    .........and the last five.

    Photo 1 - a brand-spanking new Aston-Martin Vanquish - Yes, I know I said no editorializing, but I feel the first version of a few years ago looks infinitely better and sleeker - this car has an unfortunately high and bulbous hood which must be difficult in traffic
    Photo 2 - a very nicely and competently done home-built sports racer.............I just don't think chrome-plated spoked wheels are ever safe, suitable or appropriate for a track car
    Photo 3 - some of Bonhams Auction's assembled jewels, which will be bid on next Friday evening in Monterey
    Photo 4 - The front-mounted supercharger on a '31 Birkin Bentley, which has been in the same family since purchased new back in '31 - supercharger and other mods added by the original owner at the factory in the '30s. Almost totally original
    Photo 5 - Vic Edelbrock being disgustingly cheerful for that early in the morning, polishing his personal Hot Rod which he built as a 76th Birthday present to himself

    Hope I'm not boring you

    " slavish adherence to originality wasn't for me, because the car wasn't as good as it could be."
