For some reason I read that as Sitar on the first pass and was confused.

But I'm leaving wanting the real life incarnation of the R&T Cyclops microcar.

Apologies for the distractions coming and going...

Looking at the crap driving around CT, I can ask my son if it would fly.  Use his address etc.  I mean hell, Dan0 drove a Mini Truck on Rt 84.

Ian says "probably".

Didn't a guy from Counting Cars" do one up with a fur interior and stuff?

I just showed this to my wife and she says there's one in the yard of a trailer up on the Northside (of Jax).  Not kidding.  She's not sure of the exact road tho.. Cedar Point/New Berlin area.

Think she could Google map it a little closer?  I worked that area a few years and don't remember one but that was 10 years ago at least.

Can't you do a bond title for a car with a lost title?

Here's one without the rock star tax. Some bumperctomy work required.

She has a friend from work who lives up there, says it's on the way to her house.  I'll see if she wants to take a ramble up there in the next couple of evenings.

They're pretty sure it's on New Berlin heading up north from Heckscher.  Her friend says "it's somewhere around the second bend on New Berlin" heading up.  I wouldn't take that as gospel, but it's a pretty short drive for you, right?  :-)

I'll try and check that out.  That at least get's me closer.  Left or right side if we're being real picky?

Here in FL they now require that it last be registered in FL to get a bonded title.

Oh wait.  I think I know that house.  Amazing enough it has more cars than mine does?

So you found it?  What sort of shape is it in?  

..how many cars do you have anyway?  I can't think of any place in Arlington with enough room for a serious hoarder..

In reply to Kendall Frederick :

No I just mentally traced the route and knew the house it's probably at.  Not that anyone is counting but there's currently 14 car shaped objects here.   Working to part some out and get that total way down.
