    A few of the comments that stood out to us yesterday:

    “Thank you all for your interest in my dad’s GTV.
    That car holds a lifetime of memories for me. I still remember riding home in the passenger seat at age six as my dad brought it back from Larchmont, NY — and him telling me to stop playing with all the buttons and knobs. Years later, I turned over the odometer somewhere on 395 South in Connecticut, driving it to impress the woman who would become my wife. And most recently, during the COVID years, Dad and I brought it to Giovanni and Kathy…”

    “When I was a kid my Dad heard on the radio a promotion by Pitcairn Honda in Langhorn PA. It said, “come test drive the new Honda and register to win an ounce of Gold.” They must have changed their mind or it was a mistake, as the ad only ran once to my knowledge. So my Dad and I headed up to the dealer which was only 15 min away. I don’t think I actually got to ride in the car because it was to small. Then my Dad said he wanted to register for the gold. It was closing time and everyone in…”

    “When it’s cold, I like to go down in the basement, and sit in the Factory 5 Roadster, that my Dad and I built. He’s been gone 6 years now, and I still think about him, every single day.
    Listening to the driving video, I can close my eyes, and see Dad, driving his car, that we built, smiling from ear to ear.
    Thanks for listing this gorgeous car, @Stables_Group . It is gorgeous and sounds incredibly good.”

    “I did the rear disc conversion on this truck many years ago. It was done using front hubs (bolt right on) and RRC /DI rear rotors and calipers. I never liked the way Land Rover cheaped out on the factory rear Salisbury disc setup by using the narrow drive flanges with short splines that strip out easily and short spindles with narrow spaced bearings… That’s why I used to do it this way, retaining the far better wide drive flanges and longer axle spline engagement, with wet splines. The…”

    “When I was a kid, I remember overhearing a conversation between my mom and dad about it being time for a new car. Final words to my dad were “I don’t care what it is as long as it’s a station wagon!’. Boy, just imagine if he had come home with this one!!”

    “I use to own that car. I bought it from the original owner who owned it in Sacramento California. When I sold it through a Ferrari shop located in San Mateo it went back east . At the time it still had it’s original paint and by looking at the pictures I think it still does.. I had both seats redone in the original material that I obtained from Italy.. i remember the car well. ( I designed the battery closing panel as I could not find back then an original battery cover.. The car never had…”

    “My son was racing our Datsun roadster in D Production one of the times Paul ran in the same class at Daytona. He wandered up to our crew working on our roadsturd. His crew had sent him to borrow a multimeter. He would just show up and pay the late regristration fees so everyones crew wouldn’t be packed with “crew” there just to catch a look at him as a star. I think he enjoyed just being one of us club racers. Very pleasant to talk to. He wasn’t in a hurry to get back to his crew who might have…”

    “I’m a Corvette girl. I grew up with a dad who restored them. His first Corvette was a ’57 that he used to race. He decided to make it street legal in the mid ’60’s and had it on the road 3 days when a lady ran a stop sign and busted up the front end. He put a new front end on it, and it’s been sitting in the garage waiting to be restored for the past 50ish years. I’m 50 and it’s always looked a bit like this Elva, though the undercarriage and the body are pristine–just raw because it’s been in…”

    “I’ve been fortunate to own some really nice Ducati’s. My 996 SPS was one of my favorite bikes. Tons of linear power, killer exhaust note and just a joy to ride. Beautiful bike presented here @DesmoquattroRestorations”

    “My father and I test drove this exact colour combination 300SD when it was brand new in Vancouver British Colombia. He pulled over half way into the test drive and asked if I wanted to drive it. He recently passed away and when I saw this car it took me back to that moment in my life and it made me smile.”

    “Ah, the memories! This was my first-ever brand new car, purchased in Petersburg, Virginia when this fresh Army Quartermaster second lieutenant received a small fortune (It seemed so at the time) from the Army in TDY pay and turned it into Kenosha metal. Mine had the 343 not the 390, but was exactly this color, same transmission, and the brown leather which was original to this car, too. The car accompanied me to my first–and only–duty station in West Germany because officers’ car-shipping was…”

    “I had an opportunity to buy a friends 51 Mercury sled, I always wanted from his wife. Gary died in March 2026 from prostate cancer, he was 77, I’m 75. I just don’t have indoor storage for both so the Caddy has to go. I enjoyed it for a year so somebody can have fun with the top down!”

    “This is my car. I have had every generation of 911, air cooled and water cooled, turbo and NA, all of which are in various states of “hot rod”. Even my CGT has some mods. I bought this car to hot rod as well, but it was so mint that I couldn’t do it, it is truly flawless inside and out. However, my OCD got the best of me and I invested whatever was needed to make the car perfect and decided to let it go as an offering to the BAT community. @hoarsche enjoy!”
