So Long (and thanks for all the fish**)

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

With the economy booming, car sales skyrocketing, and piles of cash heaped so high on the average desk that they obstruct this very blog, the time has come for it to follow many of the vehicles that have been mentioned here–Studebaker, Packard, Tucker, Plymouth, Hudson, Duesenberg, Auburn, Cord, Shelby, Vincent, Norton, BSA, Ariel, Corvair, Stutz, Triumph, MG, Austin Healey, Sunbeam….

It has been a pleasure to write for you, to meet you at car and motorcycle events, to trade ideas with you on these pages, and to further automotive tales and daydreams.

My Weekend Garage column will still appear in the Star Tribune and my books…

The Fast and The Furious: the Official Car Guide

Dream Garages

Survivor: The Unrestored Collector Car, and

Survivor Motorcycle: Tips and Tales in the Unrestored Realm (2009, pending)

…are available through Amazon.com and elsewhere for anyone who liked the prose and stories here. More books are likely to follow and someday, perhaps, I will have my very own blog on cars, motorcycles, films, funny fiction and other stuff that makes life worth living.

Keep turning wrenches, reading, writing and talking about the vehicles you love, and I’ll see you around the roads and the shows. Again, it’s been a pleasure shooting the breeze with all of you in cyberspace.

Kris, It has been a pleasure reading your stories and blogging about vehicles. I will miss this section of the Strib as it was a small break from the rest of the news and a chance to give me some brain candy. I hope your new book goes well and I’ve enjoyed the previous ones. Take care Sir! Jerome

Thanks to you guys, too. TR6 running and driving. A few more interior items to fit before it makes the rounds….

Been riding and working on the “new” motorcycle too, which is great fun. Gotta have a couple things to wrench on… Hope to see folks out at car gatherings.
