Leave restoration to the pros (unless you're a master wrench). "If you want a classic car restored, it costs upwards of $170,000," Dauer says. "Buy it from someone who's already restored it - unless you're very proficient mechanically." Vernon agrees. "Do you know how many people buy cars with the intention to restore them, and then leave them in a garage for 10 years?" he laughs. "They could have been enjoying a car for 10 years. "Good advice is: Don't buy a car that needs to be restored, unless you want to spend lots of time and money and waste your life. Buy a car that's ready, turn the key and go out and have fun." If you insist on tackling a restoration and wind up paying someone to do the dirty work, Lacey recommends patience and vigilance. "This isn't going to happen overnight, depending on the restoration you want to do," he says. "When you turn somebody loose on it, I'm not saying that they're all out to get you, but you have to be very careful. "For those who don't have time to personally ride herd over their automotive beautification project, Lacey suggests hiring a restoration superintendent. Once you start writing checks to have your car transformed, "you gotta at least know what a wrench looks like," Moore says. "Just for self-defense, if nothing else. You have to scare a mechanic into thinking you might know a little bit about what he does."

"Fashion, and period, what do you mean?"

"After all it's a day to let your hair down."

Easy.

"He really sits on his money."

"What's he doing?"

After yesterday's storm.

After the night before.

"Found my handkerchief up a tree."

Eberhard went into an altogether new classic but mind boggling direction.

Leaves blowing in the wind.

With that hair she must be English.

"Now, which key is it?"

"No, no, don't you worry, my spade is somewhat bigger."

"No, no, I bet he's a houseman."

Friday.
"No, no, thank heaven it's sunny!"

"When you see this postcard we are in the South of France.
Wish you were here!"

Wednesday.
Autumn?

On the brocante de Martigny. Ordinary girls, at a quick glance. Friends, same hairdo, same spectacles. Brocanteuses for one day. They don’t have much for sale, but they don’t care whether sell a thing. For them it’s more like playing shop, engage in the communal activities of which the brocate is one of the goings-on. Aernoud cracked a joke and they laughed. This was the photo he took. He chose for the image in which the spectacles took a pronounced part. So who’ll be the next Miss Spectacle? Aernoud W.

The first of the concept cars we'll see at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show has broken cover in the form of the Renault FRENDZY. It's the fourth Renault concept car based on the company's most recent design strategy of specifically addressing the needs of the different human "life stages", at least those life stages that Renault deems important.
The previous three concept cars in this series, also produced under the leadership of Renault's Design head, Laurens van den Acker, were the DeZir, the Captur and the R-Space.
This grand Renault vision builds on what it calls, "the bonds that are gradually forged between the brand and its customers at watershed moments of their lives, such as when they fall in love, begin to explore the world, start a family, begin work, take time out to play and gain wisdom." The all-electric two-seater DeZir expresses 'falling in love', and was supposedly representative of "the passion present at the beginning of any new adventure." Just the same, whomever is doing Renault's research might like to take a look at a recent study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology entitled "Peacocks, Porsches and Thorstein Veblen: Conspicuous Consumption as a Sexual Signaling System," which concludes that flashy sports cars are more about getting laid than falling in love. Maybe that's the same thing in France?
More models and more text.
