    Thanks to Murilee, I now know what "hagiography" is. Who says you can't learn anything on the Internet? #paulnewman

    He was a living legend, and I had the pleasure of meeting him once, very briefly, at his Connecticut based Volvo dealer. Congenial, charismatic, a true gentleman.

    I'm afraid we shall never see another man of this caliber again, at least in my lifetime.

    My goodness, anyone that has spent that much time behind the wheel of race Datsuns is a legend in my book.

    I once heard about him GT racing a few years before he died on a supremely outdated Corvette and snagging a win. The car was numbered something in the seventies, 78 I believe. That was his age at the time. #paulnewman

    Despite the embarrassing early problems, I'm not counting out the good old 504. My dad always told me that Peugeots can be held together with baling wire and happy thoughts-- the Safari Taxi 504 seems to have the baling wire part covered, so maybe they just need to be more positive in their outlook. Or maybe they need to get rid of that damn V6 and put the (more reliable and easier-to-fix) four-banger back in.



    Anyway, good luck to everyone out there. I'm looking forward to pictures of UDMan doing big tank-slapper slides around every corner.

    I'm waiting to here news of my home-state contenders, the Vermont Cow Tippers, I know a bunch of the people who contributed to the effort (shout out to Nate and The C-man!), though I don't know the actual racers... but we Vermonters stick together y'know!

    Oh, yes. This is the spirit of LeMons. Cars can't finish the transponder low-speed drive around the track before mechanical catastrophes start.



    I don't wish ill on the teams...quite the contrary, this is part of the appeal to some of us.



    Go should-be-in-the-junkyard teams, GO!

    @so I goes to the landlady...: At least one car always breaks down during transponder checks. Hell, we've seen cars throw rods getting off the trailer!

    @Murilee Martin: Excellent! So all is as it should be.



    Throw a rod coming off the trailer. Classic...but in a bad way.

    Loving theses unique LeMons cars like the 510 and the Pug is like loving a supermodel. You know it will be fun for a few minutes, but you will get your heart broken. Best to find a good solid girl who know how to cook.

    @f86sabre: There should be a car passionate enough to slap you for that. French? Italian? Citroen SM. And I'm hoping she has the optional carbon fiber wheels, for that extra little sting.

    I guess the good part of running an air-cooled car is that there's no coolant leak to trace. Best of luck, you Nader nadir.

    The bit of roof hanging over what once was a wraparound is the best part. I guess it's a spoiler, right? Wonder how much that does for aerodynamics.

    That Corvair looks pretty mean from where I'm standing (my home in Michigan). Hopefully it can hold up.. But while we're on the subject of hoping, lets all give a little hope to the team with the 510, and see if the alternator will be their only problem.
