Seems whenever I get to thinking about cars and bikes, thread drift always happens. I used to have a 68 Thunderbird with the 429 Interceptor and suicide doors to get us back to Full Size Fords!

Started riding in College with a Triumph Bonneville. Even in the 80's I was stuck in the 60's!

Love the Indian! I had 30 accident free years riding under my belt...even though I consider myself a car guy there was actually a time in my life I didn't own a car/truck but had three motorcycles. Then I got married in 2012! (I was without adult supervision for a LONG time) I was riding less...

Those big blocks made some big horsepower numbers for sure. Pass anything but a gas station!

The original Cobras in 1962 were 260 cubic inch plants, but they switched over to 289 271 Horse solid lifter engines pretty quickly. In 1965 the big block 427/428 cars came out. Mine is a factory built replica from South Africa. A Backdraft Racing model. The 1100 or so original cars are out of...

Forgot to ask, what engine does it have? I love big blocks too, but the small block is so "rev happy" and balanced.

Good looking Galaxy! Room for everyone to pile in to go get an ice cream at the drive in! I have owned almost everything over the years, and keep looping back to 60's Fords. Strong, simple and fun to drive. Total Performance, baby!

The 28 is mathematically "perfect" according to the British, and I defer to them about all things shotgun. Something about the width and length of the shot column being ideal for patterns. I don't know about that, but I know the 28 drops birds all out of proportion to its size, so I am believing...

Wish they had the classic narrow grooves on the slide. Those wide ones always look like a Philippine .45 to me. Thankfully it is lacking forward cocking serrations.

I would say if one is worried about resupply the .308 chambering gets the nod.

Very nice! You bet your Aya that is a reasonable alternative to an English shotguns on a realistic budget. They are very lively with the balance right between the hands...now that I am getting older, I am thinking about trimming down my lifelong collection. I should do that and buy an Aya. Lot...

Was lucky enough to be around when Jack Rowe was filming his DVD on gunsmithing English shotguns. The workmanship is beyond compare. Remarkable.

I have a good friend that is a constant corrupter, offering to let me shoot numerous firearms that are beyond my means. His English shotguns are my favorites. Almost like them enough to come out of retirement long enough to buy one...almost.

Nothing like traveling outside the United States to make someone realize how great this Country is! But I do continue to have a lifelong weakness for English Cars and Motorbikes.

Simon, while you are across the pond I hope you have carved out some time to visit Holland and Holland's London Gunroom. Handling a fine English shotgun will make you a believer!

To each his own, but buying cars and not driving them breaks my heart. If my toy cars are on a trailer, they are either being stolen or are broken beyond roadside repairs.

Brommeland Holster. I am thinking he has passed on, but he made a heck of a comfortable rig.

I read everything I see...never know when you might pick up something new. This felt like an AI article to me as it lacked Ayoob's usual personality. But in the end, I agree with everything he says. My dad is 86 years old and still can rack the slide without effort just by cocking it first...

Ha ha Killer Ford! I finally found the right wife after 20 plus years of try outs. Not trading her for anything! But my Cobra is factory built by Backdraft Racing. Check them out...I have had mine since age 50, over ten years with no troubles; wife would not ride a motorcycle with me, but loves...

I have been stuck in the 60's since the 80's. And loving it.
