Engine getting closer
I’ve been in touch with Hap (my engine builder) and it looks like work should begin on Tunebug’s new motor right after the first of the year. Very exciting stuff! The winter gig season has been fruitful so far, so I’ve got the necessary funding to get everything completed by springtime. Now I just need to get going. 
I was going back through some old postings on the British Car Forum and ran across this very early post of mine, from right after my first drive in a British sports car (a Bugeye).
Now, many of y’all have driven many a LBC in your lives. Some even had them when they were new. Me, I’ve only ever sat in one once (an MG TD) and never drove one.
Until today.
I went to see a Bugeye that a local guy has up on eBay. Nice car, and as advertised. What an amazing feeling to finally get to sit down in the driver’s seat, turn the key, and pull out the starter. Just drove it around the block, but what a sensation. Smells of leather, metal, sounds of engine, exhaust. Wow.
I know it’s a bit silly, but I think this short little drive set the hook for good. Heck, I even fit (I’m 6′ 1″). Still don’t know what flavor of LBC is in store for me, and now I’m not sure it even matters. I’m addicted…
A good reminder to me of what lies ahead. Vroom vroom!
