** Current status: 9 bent valves. and it only had 6,000 miles on it. i hope the replacement goes well. **

Lots of expensive parts, and still slow! Oh wait, it has to run to go fast.

was that actually english? emoji

Boyd will be missed. he was a bit of a jerk and pushed his employees exceptionally hard but the man had an eye for car building. he had a philosophy that your eye should flow over the car and not get caught up too much in any one detail otherwise the car would be too busy and the overall effect would be lost. that right there made for some beautiful cars
