Nothing to "beware of," but the images have been worked on to capture the brightness of the yellow. Just trying to avoid the perception that the car is the same color as a school bus or a banana.

At least in the West, Les Schwab also carries a proper sized in-house tire brand that is also made by Cooper (I would assume it is comparable to the Cooper Cobra, but LS markets it as their own).

Roush 427W or something else? If the latter, I think $55k is at the tip top of the purchase market (you can ask for whatever you want, of course).

Check around and also ask about different dates if you have flexibility. I cannot remember which is which, but in certain seasons it is cheaper to go East to West and other times it is West to East.

It must be the British genes . . .

1. Remember that I stuck the Optima back in last week after it worked in my other car and the other battery worked in the Cobra.

Strange battery problem

That sounds like a good plan.

My tentative plan is to stay in Monterey (I've got a reservation on lock). Nothing fancy, but close in.
