Cleveland Greyhound.
Chandler sure did a lot of reliability run promotions. This is the first photo of a Cleveland run that I’ve seen.

MGB is running well. Most of the electrics are sorted. The cooling fan comes on now so no more glycol showers for me.
Of course the clutch master cylinder has decided to start leaking.

1915 Chandler Speedster by Pettingell
Pettingell Machine Co. of Amesbury, Massachusetts also built some coachwork. What model would this 1915 be?

Sorting out some electrical issues on a '76 MGB today.
Does anyone know what the extension cord connects to?
It's not on any wiring diagram I have. 🤪

When I was a kid I had little interest in the VW Beetle. Then my two uncles each got one and souped them up with crazy early 70s paint jobs. Have liked them ever since. Out to breakfast this morning in western Michigan and came out of the restaurant and spotted these two. Oval window blue car is mid 50s? Beige car is later. Can anybody guess more accurate years?

Here we go, one step forward and two steps back on the 1911 T
I cleaned and chased the threads in all the head bolt holes, then checked to be sure the bolts threaded in fine. All good.
New bolts arrived, tried to thread the new bolts into the block and four are having issues. Looks like I have to repair some threads. The holes have all been heli-coiled once and it appears that rust has gotten behind the heli-coil and caused it to shrink the diameter of the insert. New inserts are on order and I should be able to dig the old ones out with a pick.
Magneto coil installed. You can see the shims to set the coil height behind the coil frame.
Set the transmission on the crankshaft and check the clearance between the magnets and the field coils. Clearance should be between 0.025" and 0.040" I've got it set within those dimensions.Oil tube installed. The little aluminum scoop feeds oil picked up by the flywheel into the tube and down to the front of the engine to the timing gears and front main bearing.
Bolts are safety wired.

Just a McLaren loaded up on a yatch. Unbelievable.

Audi's Nuvolari concept, a mid-engined plug-in hybrid supercar packing a twin-turbo V8 and nearly 1,000 horsepower. It's the successor to the R8, borrowing its bones from Lamborghini’s Temerario. 0-62 mph in just 2.6 seconds. Production limited to 499 cars. I love the styling. I'm wondering if this will be the actual production look.
