...I think I shooorrrrrrrted out my keyboard with droo ooooLLL!

This is the best coverage of his garages yet!

I remember fondly walking around the Monterey Historics with Jay and his wife Mavis. He had a mini video camera in one hand, and he had a very quick pace, looking at one car and then to another. All the while he kept a monolog going as to what he was seeing for the camera, and chatting to me about what we were seeing.

All in all, I had a fine time within that 10 minutes of cruising with Jay, and found him to be very open to people, and knowledgable about automotive stuff.

That same day, I chatted with the great race driver and automotive writer Paul Frere! We were looking at a vintage racer at thetime, and I couldn't figure out what this snail-like device was which was mounted on the outside of the engine block.

Hey, I asked him! Who better, in the whole world, right? He looked at it, and it actually took him a second or two as well, but he knew alright!

"Zis is ze water pompa"

"Ah, merci Paul!"

This might seem like an old and hackneyed phrase, but

YOU MUST SEE THIS EVENT BEFORE YOU DIE!
