I'd love to restore a car, I just don't have the skill or confidence. I can barely bring myself to remove the gauge panel to add a ground wire or install LED bulbs let alone dismantle an entire car. |

I moved on from there. They aren't exotics....but I did all of the work on every Corvette I ever had. And recently did valvetrain work on my BMW. Now I've screwed up stuff in the past, but it was always a learning experience.

If I get a RHD Countach, I won't be bringing it here. I would look to having it fully restored, or if already in great condition I would probably look to ship it to NZ and store it. My friends family owns a very large car museum and I considered contacting him to see if they want to display it for a few years.

I could start on an old Mustang rather than starting on a Countach, but I'd be worried about it jumping the curb and attacking pedestrians |

I confess I have no idea who funds this website, brilliant update recently.... is it BMW directly? Clearly members aren't paying to keep it going.

I was surprised my gardener came last week. Not sure why they are essential. More puzzling though is watching the ice cream truck come down the block yesterday with driver wearing a mask.

I don't think that grass cutting is essential, but the money those individuals make is essential. Unless they are mowing within 6' of someone else, people are paying for the service and they are staying in guidelines, I don't see a problem. I don't foresee social distancing being an issue mowing someone's yard. Hell, maybe I'm part of the problem.

They're not part of the problem if they're doing it right, and quite frankly the more industries that can keep going and not endanger people the fewer people/companies needing government support. Someone ends up paying for all these people who are home and not working.

And that's on them. Most of the landscaping guys around here work independently (often hundreds of yards apart), and I guess because of the dry dust often times they're wearing bandannas over their faces even prior to the pandemic.

I picture you as the guy who stands at his window and calls the police on other people. Enjoy the quarantine.

The week before the lockdown I had a company out installing cabinets and siding and floors in my garages here. Was 2 guys, we didn't shake hands, kept a social distance, only entered the garage never the house etc. but now that company is shut down, the 2 guys have been let go so are claiming UE, but in reality they could have continued working safely without endangering anyone. So really the regulations just added unnecessary pressure to the UE system, the owner of that company, and all for no good reason. |

I shaved on March 12, while in Vegas.
When I returned for vacation, the world had changed, and I didn't bother. Last night, I'd had enough. Today I have eyebrows. |
