Presenting Kunkle Motors of Dallas, Pennsylvania, located off PA 309 north of Wilkes-Barre on the road to the highly scenic Harveys Lake. While a Saab specialist (I suspect it formerly served as a dealership; in any event, there are a LOT of Saabs around, including 92s/93s and a really nice Sonnett), according to owner Tim

Yup, on the road again, in search of LBCs.  While based out of Bowie, MD, I have managed to range fairly far afield; however, as of Tuesday, when I motored up to Pennsylvania, hadn’t seen an LBC.  Plenty of Jags, Range/Land Rovers and Minis, but no classic Brit sports cars. I did stumble across this

One more time out in the HSD before it goes into the garage (the good news: after six months and the completion of three major home improvement projects, I was finally able to get the car back in the garage for the winter). While making a stop at the ZX mini-mart on Manchester, observed this

Fifth time for this event, held this year on 19 November (hey, I’ve been busy…) and the participants had a fine – if somewhat chilly, almost universally top-up – drive. We had 18 cars show, about 30 people and truth be known, the majority of the vehicles were MGs, particularly MGBs…and it was great having

In contrast to the last three ends-of-season for the BSCC autocross series, this year the TR8 finished without a) requiring major mechanical work, b) a large puddle underneath and c) an unexpected ride back to the house on a flatbed.  Life is good! Windy and brisk at the 8th parking lot grand prix of the

Spied in the parking lot of an Aldi in Independence, MO, earlier this evening.  You have to admire the fine job done on the flux capacitor housing on the front bumper. BTW, this is the first time I’ve done an upload to the SLTOA blog while moving; am currently on Amtrak’s “Missouri Mule,” eastbound from

Sunday afternoon, heading back to home plate on MO 364 following the SCCA rally and this green late TR6 popped up in front of me, moving at a high rate of speed.   Think I know whose car it was although I’m not completely sure; I wasn’t aware of any green TR6s with hardtops in SLTOA.
