I have the same Atlas lift, albeit the taller (extended height) version since I have more overhead room. Been very happy with it (other than a hydraulic cylinder seal leak), but leveling is tricky depending on the pitch of your garage floor. FWIW, Atlas makes a sliding jack (yeah, $900) that...

My solution has been the Kodak Mini Digital Film Scanner, which has color, etc., adjustment capabilities, but probably does better with color slides than negatives. It's a relatively inexpensive solution with multiple format capability, and decent resolution, but seems to struggle with contrast...

Negatives. I know the contrast is all over the place, and the original processing was...inconsistent. I'm sure there's a better way to convert these.

More action...looks like a Sprite got backwards. Is that at Andretti?

Ironic use of "quote marks." I'll do better next time... :)

I was referring to the badges--Fuelfed is the European collector club based here in Chicago. This belongs to one of the members. I believe it's been on offer at The Werkshop for some time now, and thus not at any of our club's events. I would love to see it out...

Hmm. Comes with Fulfed "endorsement," but I don't recall seeing it at any events in recent years. I'll have to ask around...

Some Friday additions...have a good weekend, everyone.

And this was obviously before the Corner Workers' Union was established...

A few more...

Hi, all. If you'll indulge me, I thought I'd share some of my dad's race-day photography from Laguna Seca. He was one of many "unofficial" track photographers back in the day, and shot (not races) for newspapers in the Bay Area from the late '50s through the early '60s. I'll start with a couple...

Hey, Rick. Riggs Bros. is sort of acknowledged as the go-to top/upholstery guys locally. They have several suburban locations. I've used them for tinting, but their reputation is strong on interior re/builds. https://www.riggsbros.com/ Ogden Top and Trim is another I hear good things about...

Great to see you and your 2800 as well. What a range of preservation/restoration/modifications and models...1800, 2800, 2002s. You forget what survives in California. Sheesh. Now, back to Chicago.

Interesting....I'll be in the area this weekend. Albeit in a rental...

Typical lo-res photos don't help the sadness. I keep thinking my contacts are drying out...

Shoot. Came here for "mole" content. Disappointed.

Passenger: "Is this an automatic?"

My recent experience with BaT was exactly this. Buying and bidding behavior that's much more impulsive than informed. Bidders see rarity, styling, rising values (at least until recently), and whip out their checkbooks. They shrug off warnings about rust or questionable repairs, don't consult the...

Ah, yes. Agave, Markos, not Turkis. My bad. Still curious if the registry entry is wrong on the Schwartz.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1971-bmw-2800cs-16/ Originally Turkis. Would be nice to see a shot of the VIN stamping on the firewall. The registry has this as Schwartz, from an Ebay listing in 2012. Carl Nelson pedigree is nice to have. The (repro?) VIN plate looks...I dunno...?
