Who is this and what kind of car does he have? (For extra points, what is he doing?)
Vic forwarded to me an email with an interesting handful of movie stars and the cars they owned from many years ago. That led me to search for the source and I uncovered a gold mine. Check it out at:

Movie Night at Kelvin's
When Kelvin puts on a movie night with the fixins he really does a wonderful job! The Lancashire Hotpot, Shepherds Pie and Cumberland stout Stew all made by Kelvin and all the desserts and salads brought by attending members made for a delicious and hearty meal that certainly warmed your insides and tickled your taste buds.
I'd say there was nearly 20 of us that invaded Kelvin's Saturday evening where we were all treated to he and his daughter's warm and wonderful welcome.
After this great meal we all sat down to watch the original "Italian Job" movie, but before Kelvin hit the play button we called our friend Alex H whom we had heard recently spend time in the hospital. We spoke to Lise at first to see if Alex was up to chatting with us and he was. We were all very glad to hear from him that he is doing well. Whereas we were all on a speaker phone, we as a group were all able to send a clear and loud message to Alex to get well as we all missed him and Lise.
With our best wishes sent to Alex we all sat back with bellies full to take in this classic movie. A great movie it was.
After the movie I had to leave so I'm not sure how many more "movies" and "car chats" came after. The one thing we did decide though was where we were going to have our next meeting. It was decided to have it at McGinnis Landing. Someone had mentioned as well that there are some great menu deals going on there as well.
All in all it was another great evening put on by Kelvin. We all had a great time with delicious meals, great laughs with wonderful company and hosts. It doesn't get any better then that!
Many thanks for doing this Kelvin,
Gary and the FABAC Bunch

New MGB GT
From Phil:
Here’s a link to an article on the “new” MGB GT being offered by Front Line Developments in the UK. Very nice but quite pricey and powered by Miata! Front Line Developments is owned by Ken Costello of the original MGB GT v8 fame.

A hearty laugh for a stormy day
After being married for 40 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, "Forty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep every night with a hot 23-year-old girl.
Now ... I have a $500,000.00 home, a $35,000.00 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 63-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things."
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve an old guy's problems.
