    Ah, but at the west end of Seligman, this find: an early Austin London Taxi, parked in front of a convenience mart.   The plywood tipis to the rear provide a nice touch.

  • Little Italian Car Sighting…

    Drove the longest remaining original segment of old US 66 yesterday, Ash Fork to Needles, CA, plus a few miles in the Golden State.  In and around all of the old US cars scattered around the various towns, I saw my first European, uh, “exotic:” an Alfa Romeo Spider, part of the display at Romney…

This autocross marked my second in…
