Welcome Phil. I know how you feel about losing your bike. Our Plus 4 is the replacement for a touring motorcycle and to tell the truth it is much more convenient when travelling in two. We have done 45,000 km since March 2012 and I can assure you that that is much more than we could have done on a bike.
Sounds like an interesting car that you have there. 240 hp in a '63 4/4 would certainly make a lively package. I'll bet it gives a few people a big surprise at the traffic light GP

Do you occasionally suffer from the "vintage sports car challenge"? This is where some idiot can't stand the idea that a vintage sports car is in front of them, or has just blown them into the weeds, and they do everything to pass you regardless of risk to life or limb.
