Cars and bikes I’ve come across in my travels

Andy - How about feeding a Mini Cooper with Moonshine and us included to reach the Top of the Local Ski Hill on New Years Eve above the town with the Cops below and we shouted "Come Up and arrest Us " - The 60's where a great time to be a teenager = Plus we were all Academic Students - Only Baby Boomers would appreciate this ;o)

Hey Andy: Would you take one of these or a TR6 - At least he's driving the correct side of the road ;o)
Did the Austin Healey 100 6 have syncro into 1st gear - If I recall - It did not ?
The Healey and TR where very close to the same size.

I've worked on and driven both. No matter how much I loved the Healey, that TR6 with that Big 6, 15" wheels and portable hard top won me over - Almost traded my 68 Volvo 123S for a brand new 72 TR6 - even deal at Coventry Motors in Ottawa - but the deal feel through - a Long story - Kinda fender bent my Volvo on the way to the Bank ;o(

Just got from Turkey saw these- a gorgeous Jawa, much loved and used as transport, seems to be a fair few here all being used.
Next one was new to me, a Russian IZH Planeta 350, wife told me to stop looking at effing motorbikes so I couldn’t get good pics.
I noticed it’s a twin port single 2 stroke but with external bolted on transfer ports, which is a great idea. If you look at the front wheel, the spokes are adorned with little planet shaped spokey dokeys! I also saw a Motoser two stroke three wheel lorry but the MemSahibs patience was wearing thin!
