Exclamation Jack Olsen Foreshadows the future

Wow! This is weird.

Doubt 'flaring' up

The problem with a paint job is that it forces you to make decisions that you've got to live with until you need your next paint job.

Now, I love Black Beauty, no matter what. But Mikez's pictures from Dunkel's included this Black Beauty twin with Turbo flares.



One day, whether I suffer the poor fortune of scraping into a wall at Laguna Seca, or the good fortune of letting the paint job live out its full lifespan, I think I'd like to go to the wider flares.

Don't mean to whine, but that's a gorgeous car!



Here's the original thread
Doubt 'flaring' up

Jack, where was it you actually crumpled BBI? You might want to be careful what you say from now on.

Wow. That is kind of creepy.

Yes, I totaled the car at Laguna -- and went to big flares in the aftermath.

In fiction, I'd say that kind of coincidence would be much too 'on the nose.'

Here I am revisiting the site of my expensive wall painting (with a picture of BB1 on my shirt):

I think that car is currently being cared for in Kentucky. Here's an old thread about it.
