My brother always says dilution is the solution.

My Dad has one. I think it is on its third clutch by now. The pedal throw between bite and grab is extremely short and I think my step mother has trouble with it.

I watched Micmacs several months ago and enjoyed it.

This is supposedly a 1939 FIAT 6c 1500 barchetta. It is not the winner but does have a similar paint color. In reading about the car, the roof with front window can be removed. The "guys in the forums" think it might be a home-build or it might have all kinds of cool history. Either way, it looks cool and I'd love to have it.

Bertone perhaps? The Abarth 750 Record has the wheel arch and the fender bulge but nothing else.

I was thinking Zagato as well. Perhaps a Fiat coupe? It is not an Elborata or a version of the beautiful 1950s 8v (some are Zagato) that I can find. Those un-round wheel arches hold a clue.

Pinot doesn't come from Italy though so perhaps this is a one-off from the Willamette Valley of Oregon.

I once changed a street light bulb while standing on a stool in a shipping crate on a forklift that was maxed out on lift. Yes, small operator inputs are good at that height.

Forklifts are totally hoonable. Go around corners on two wheels! Lift a heavy load and do reverse wheelies! See how long your burnout is on the shop floor! They are also a good way to lift a car onto a trailer or hoist an engine.

Years ago I received a nice set of Allen keys. I also received a metric set. I spray painted a gray stripe on one and a red stripe on the other to let me know which goes where. Those stamped numbers are really small.
