Another nice one, Blaster! I'd vote for that one as a pattern for yours!

The snow must be melted now. It's time to get to work!  :)

It snowed today for a few hours, but most of it is gone.
Still cold though, high teens / low 20's at night.
Winter doesn't pay attention to the calendar around here.
I like the air scoops & fuel caps in the sails on it, would like to do something similar.

I like the wheels, too!

I've never figured out what those air ducts feed, though.

I agree, those wheels do look good on it, & the air ducts feed your ego. as they just look damn cool.  8)

Interesting! I wonder how long he has been running this car? I photographed a heavily modified Europa at Oulton Park in the UK back in 2000 that looks very much like this one. I'll have to go through my old pictures (pre digital) and see if I can find it.

The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

It could be a development of this car (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKSfJZxYfg4) and if so, is a few years old as the video was posted in 2012.

I guess this post falls into the "general chatting" thing, so here goes. I've just received my copy of Classic & Sports Car and had to chuckle at the article on Mike Kimberley.  He's recounting the tales of how he & Tony Rudd did the Rome & back drive in the early days with the Europa....

"On one occasion I was asleep and felt a nudge. I looked over and Tony was fast asleep ! The car was tracking beautifully at about 80mph but every now and then it was just kissing the kerb...."

 :huh:

I can see that happening, I've sat in ours & thought, "this is the most comfortable seat I've ever sat in". I'm 5'6" & it fits me perfectly.

Brian, Any idea if that article is available on-line or will it be?
