As I get older I tend to reflect on how I arrived to where I am. I've never really thought of myself as a 'car guy' but judging by the cars I own there must be a little of that 'car guy' mentality in there somewhere.
I got an email from 'The Roadster Factory' recently and they are planning their summer gathering. That thing that turned on the light bulb for me was their plan to try and reprint 'The Red Car', a book by Don Stanford featuring a kid that buys a wrecked MG and restores it. I remember reading the book in the 60s. That must be part of it. Also, of course was 'The Prisoner' probably the sole reason I own a Se7en.
Anybody else read 'The Red Car'?
I don't drive the Se7en nearly enough, I also own a 66 E-type with a friend, and another friend just gave me a TR-6. Does that make me a 'Car Guy'? Hmmm..... not sure...
Just some random thoughts on an extremely warm Summer Solstice in Santa Cruz, CA.
