The $8,000 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series III I should have bought in 2007 is for sale again.
Someone put a deposit on it yesterday, however, his wife refused to hand him the checkbook because he had “too many cars.” I’m tempted. I don’t care if it is a 2+2, I need it.
It’s also worth noting that the lump of a V12 was replaced with a later Jaguar 4.2 straight six.
I.M. Pei & Associates, Master Plan for Genesee Crossroads, Rochester, NY. 1960.
This design is interesting the sense that the Miesian building in the center straddles the Genesee River. Several elements of this proposal were lifted from another project by Pei, Kip’s Bay Plaza in NYC. This proposal was ultimately rejected, although future proposals for the site drew upon Pei’s ideas.

My latest build: Don Walker Pursuit Track
I bought this as a freshly restored frame and fork from Velo Cult last fall. I had a clear idea of what I wanted for this build, but I didn’t have the cash to do it paying full retail. (like I ever pay full retail) I spent several months crawling eBay and the internet for the specific parts I had in mind. Just about everything was new or NOS, other than the seatpost, BB, and crankset. I had my LBS lace up the wheels for me using Dura Ace 7600 track hubs and some NOS Mavic MA40s I picked up nearly five years ago. I’m loving these wheels. The geometry is perfect for me and I’m really pleased with how it this build came out.
Until next time!

I saw one of these in Brighton last night; it was a yellow sedan. I can’t remember the last time I saw an Audi 100 of this vintage around these parts.

Thanks for the kind words! I’ve been without internet the past couple months, but I finally have things back up and running. Trust me, I have plenty of stuff that I’ve been meaning to post. Cheers!
