No build thread. That's a vintage hill climber that Wayne Carini of Chasing Classic Cars (part)-owns IIRC.

There's a lot of 356 in that car.

I likes me some Maine Coon.

We have a small version - only 14lbs - and no papers 'cos he lived under a bush before we got him, but even if he isn't a purebred Maine Coon, he's got a lot of Maine Coon in him.

Haven't got a pic handy, but he's a spitting image of this cat:

Wikipedia suggest that (some) Savannah cats can jump up to 8ft from standstill. Not really a surprise given that there's some Bengal in there but thankeweverymuch, we already have enough cats on top of the kitchen cabinets.

How about an Ocelot?

Wife had a Maine Coon that was the runt, named Reject (she says she named it after her Mom's boyfriend). Cat died last year, most spastic animal I have ever known.

There are a few YouTube videos of them, (the 8 ft jump is at 2:45)

That's not a Savannah, though.

That's an Asian Leopard Cat, these are cross-bred to produce Bengal cats.

Savannahs are cross bred from Servals.

Bill rutans old car. Porsche powered ran at Mt Washington and the new England hillclimb series.. I believe it was also a road race championship car. Cant remember the exact vintage of it.

Two more ocelot versions:

24lb's of pure breed Maine Coon. Astonishingly he is the smallest of his litter. His red/ghost brother is pushing 30lb's now.

Yesterday I went to the local Subaru/Lincoln dealership and sat in a BR-Z (I fit but about like that of a NA Miata, barely and not very comfortably.) 3 less inches of height would have really helped in the headroom department, but my legs fit. So there is something. Then as I was leaving a I noticed a 2004 911 40 year edition. I went and sat in it.

I found the sports car for me. I fit, comfortably. I enjoyed the Boxster but the rear seats (which for my two kids would be fine) and the fit for my build I believe the 911 just might be in my future.

I saw one of these parked in Dearborn last night.

I don't know why I didn't see the resemblance sooner.
