Well, another chapter of my life closed today. . . This was my 3rd Six, and the nicest. . Doing the restoration was my enjoyment, and showing it for the past 8 years was somewhat fun, but it was just too nice to drive. . . I created a monster and the only way out was to let it go and maybe start over. . .

Can't say enough good things about this site and the members who have a reputation of helping each other out, Luke managed to find a couple of the harder Six parts when I was doing the restoration. .

I'll be looking for a GT project on the "Cars for Sale" page, something i can drive and have fun with.

Having had a "too nice to drive" car before, I know exactly what Dave was going through. I had the distinct pleasure of helping Dave prepare this car for a Zone 8 concours once here in San Diego, and the car is PERFECT!!! Won it's class and best of show! You have no idea the lengths he will go for originality. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

The first time I saw this car in 2012 I did not know Dave. It was at a concours of course down on the bay and I took several pictures of it then. Here is one.

I met Dave at another concours in 2015 and we have been friends since. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Here is Dave in action, he is on the far right on one knee showing the judge something at that 2015 concours.

I think for you, the fun is the doing, more than the driving. Glad to hear you're looking for a GT, you can't go wrong there.
The trick is not to get the next one to this point. A nice driver is a lot of fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)
