Meanwhile, I supposedly have a VIN with Mazda for my Miata Club. Can’t wait. Watched a Porsche Boxster video and have some rumblings for it or a Cayman still but I think I will own the Miata and the Porsche would own me. I’m not sure I want that. We’ll see what happens but I’m really looking forward to the red Miata in the next 6 weeks or so.

Just in time for Fashion Week. Pure genius, we are simply to watch with awe ;)

for that price, I think I rather have a bespoke one from Twisted which may even be slightly cheaper and more authentic.

So Land Rover is bringing back the Classic boxy Land Rover shape for 'get this' 250K!

How does it compare to Big Sir Jim's Grenadier, a "knock-off" that borrowed liberally from the design cues of the original Defender?

We don't really see any Grenadiers in Chelsea Truck circles.

It is suppose to be a decent farm vehicle though.

All things considered, I rather have the Toyota Land Cruiser Classic at yen prices in Japan. Best value out there.

I've been looking at this one not infrequently. Somehow I started talking Land Cruisers at the Volvo dealership with the shop guy, and he said someone in Venezuela is selling all the government-owned Land Cruisers to dealers in the US. I don't know if this is one, but the truck is titled in Florida. Several of these Land Cruisers seem to be handed around the BAT fanatics with each owner adding a couple hundred miles to the odometer and a few bits and bobbles to the restoration. I think this one is truck-geared and not highway geared, so that might be why it has gone through a couple owners.

You probably have a middleman in there somewhere hiding Vene. It would trigger US OFAC rules, and no US dealer will be able transact with a Bank in USD with a Vene UBO. The US Banks are definitely prohibited here.

I'm guessing they go through Colombia or something, but I used to the wrong word - probably not dealers. Middlemen is right. Import/export magicians. Florida seems full of them.

I think the word you are looking for is drug dealers. Miami Vice is still my all time favorite show.
