Caffeine & Octane - In like a lion, out like a lamb!

Weather is tricky for any outdoor gathering, but March is particularly fickle.  I arrived to set up at the Caffeine & Octane gathering in Alpharetta, GA on March 6, 2011 a little early because I thought I might need time to set up in the drizzle rain. Of course the lot was empty but the drizzle had now strengthened and the breeze was more like a gusty wind. The weatherman had said it would be light and even would stop by 8am.  It was still dark, so we had some time to let it…

For all you LBC guys......MG..Triumph....Healey

 

 I just got word that Atlanta Imported Parts over in Decatur has closed the doors. Most of you in the Atlanta area know it was the mecca of LBC parts & pieces. This is going to leave a large void in the used LBC parts market. The only recourse now if your restoring an LBC or trying to keep one on the road seems to be aquiring a parts car. If someone knows of another LBC salvage yard around I'm sure everyone else would like to know. Some of the stuff isn't repopped so a used item…

Recreating a photo of your car

Have you ever wanted to recreate a picture of a past car you owned? With Photoshop and some effort it can be done. When I was eighteen I bought a stock 1955 Ford Customline, but it didn’t stay that way for long. Very shortly it had a four barrel carb installed on the 272 V8, a floor shifter for the three speed overdrive, dual exhaust and coils cut for a 60s style dropped front.  Sadly I didn’t keep any pictures of the car but by using Photoshop I was able to recreate the 55 and the memories…

NHTSA’s 2011 Crash Test Results Place BMW 5 Series and Hyundai Sonata First..by Miguel Caparros

 

Back in October of 2010 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a new set of

standards for crash safety, raising the bar for the coveted 5 Star



rating by a considerable amount. Initially some 2010 models that did



get a 5 star rating under the old rules did not fair well. The new



crop of vehicles designed with the tougher standards in mind are



doing much better. See the bottom of…
