Stuff you want to buy/dreaming of

Driving back from Sabbath we came through the Cotswolds. I didn’t realise how posh that area is. There were a lot of beautiful vintage Jags, Porsches and lots of Ferraris, including the Magnum PI model out for a Sunday drive.

I took my dad to The Festival of Speed for his birthday before covid. It was the Aston Martin's 70 year anniversary so they did a fancy James Bond show. Goodwood is a pretty epic affair and well worth the trip.

As a kid, I watched Magnum PI driving around the island in a Ferrari and dreamt of owning one. As I grew older, tastes changed to Porsche as I liked the lines of the car better. Seeing @Marc2706 posing the other day in front of his, only reinforces it. When a car from 1957 still looks 1000 times better than 99% of cars made today, you realize that maybe they are doing something right…
I absolutely see your point. Some things are just beautifully made.
I'm not a car person (I have a VW Caddy ...). However I am sympathetic with your desire for a beautiful car.
I am contemplating the idea of buying a lugged steel bicycle frame that is far too heavy and doesn't even allow for contemporary breaks. Importing such a frame from the US to Germany is economically a silly idea.
But at the end of the day it's all about beauty.

As I sit in this 93° sweltering Atlanta heat I’m thinking again about pulling the trigger on the dream of a little place for the weekend/longer get aways. We still have about a decade of kids in school (12,16,17, 17 and 23) but over the few years should loosen up a little bit in terms of needing to be around for them on the weekends, etc.
Not exactly what I would do(interior finish) but generally speaking something along this line, super simple lines and construction. Of course, being a home builder/GC and the wife being an interior designer/GC I have a feeling that the simple getaway could potentially turn into something else…
Would like to do the Shou Sugi Ban technique on the exterior siding/veneer and something with a little more “soul” on the interior.

@goosehd I also remember Thomas Magnum driving in his red Ferrari. I never have missed a single episode of this series. For sure I agree with you the the design of the Porsche 356 is really timeless. I own this car for 28 years and I still love it just as much as I did on day one. And 28 years ago the prices very reasonable in comparison to now.

Just picked up a size 38 Studio D'artisan green fatigue pant and they are comparable to size 5 Orslow(I have a few). The 40 would probably be a size 6 if Orslow had one. Other than the zipper fly on the studio versus the buttonfly no difference…
