I thought my dad was nuts when he allowed me at only 14 years old to buy a 1947 Chevy out of a junk yard for $30. Never mind that it had no motor or transmission, I was going to be on the road in 2 months. Dad knew that I would be 3 years getting that car together and would get the equivalent of a two-year technical degree in the process.

The MG car company (MG is an acronym for Morris Garage) was one of the earlier British manufacturers.  Their early cars were, somewhat primitive (not unlike most every other manufacturer), but, with few exceptions, the MG name has always been associated with “sports” cars.

The MGA roadster is no exception.  In fact, if there were ever a quintessential TRUE “sports car”, the MGA has to be near the top of the defining marque for that term.  The first MGA model was introduced early in 1956, and was an instant sensation in the automotive press.  These cars, as well as their predecessors, were assembled at the company’s plant at Abingdon-on-Thames by true British craftsmen.

Nothing gets the heart rate going faster than a spin on a vintage motorcycle, and that includes the instantly identifiable BMW Airhead.

It has been almost twenty years since I’ve last owned or ridden a motorcycle, and I’d assumed that my yen for biking was past.  Then, for some inexplicable reason, I started thinking about the pleasure of riding on two wheels.  Perhaps it is a latent substitute for being in the cockpit, as it seems my current interest in flying has been on the wane.

Well, after...

Nothing can be more nostalgic than driving a Pre-WWII vehicle. The iconic ’39 Ford Coupe is no exception!

I first got the hankering to own a Ford Coupe after my buddy Doug convinced me to attend the Longhorn Hotrod show.  “Hot rods” per se have never been my cuppa tea, but Doug owns a beautiful ’32 Ford 3 window coupe that is to die for, so I went along.

I had never paid much ...

Well, they really did pull it off!   On November 18, 2012, the inaugural race at the brand new Circuit of the Americas (COTA) track in Austin was held, in the form of the United States Grand Prix (Formula One).
