This car restored my faith in humanity.  It's about time I came across something so well preserved. This had to have been kept in a dark, dry garage because it's just that clean.  A 15 year old kid had lucked into it at an estate sale.  I had to buy it from him under his mother's stern gaze.  It is so beautiful and so complete that I have a new found respect for this model.  If you've never had a car project this might be a great start.  It really just needs the lightest restoration. Get the seats redone, sort some wiring, attend to the engine, do a thorough cleaning, and voila you're in the collector car game.  I haven't got this one running and the starter just kind of makes a weezing noise.  I'll get it fired up car nuts.  Right now I am tracking down the title, and that will be included.  Welcome to CarsandDogs1970.  This may be one of the last cars of 2013 that we have brought forth to you.  Enjoy the pictures. Please feel free to ask your questions.  This is one of the best ones I have seen lately.  Happy Holidays and thanks for looking.

Jaguar F Type V6 S vs Triumph Street Triple R in open-air track attack

Sun, 21 Sep 2014

Typically, these track battle videos pair up car against car or, in more disparate circumstances, car versus crossover, as we saw the other day. While the outcome of that battle was quite predictable, what'll happen when an equally fetching (and fast) four-wheeler is put up against one of the icons of the two-wheeled world? Evo just had to find out.
Matching up a Jaguar F-Type V6 S Convertible against a Triumph Street Triple R is at least more of an even fight than the last battle between the Porsche Cayman GTS and Macan Turbo. The Triumph has a 675-cc engine to work with, and is very light. Meanwhile, the Jag has a thumping 380-horsepower, 3.0-liter, supercharged V6 to haul about it's considerably heftier heft. Who will come out on top?
You'll need to watch the full video to find out.
