Spent more time in the pool with Ari today. Looooove having a pool! Well, it’s not mine, but hardly anyone else in the building uses it so it might as well be. Caitlin got Nefarious some googles, and I got her some flippers, and she’s been doing wonders teaching herself to swim.
So as I mentioned, the guy selling the Manta Mirage a few entries down from this one is asking way too much, so I let him know — politely — what it was worth (I paid $21k for my old one, and it was built around a Pantera driveline) and he sent me back a jackass email…
You’re wrong but go ahead and buy one for $10k and good luck with the money you save you will need it for the repairs when it breaks down constantly!!
P.S. now I don’t have to answer your stupid questions anymore.
Whatever, ahaha.
As luck would have it, there’s a project Sterling kit car that just came up for sale here in town at less than 1/10 the price. I’m going to go see it tomorrow morning and unless there’s something horribly wrong, I’ll buy it. I’ve wanted a Sterling since I was a kid, and there are only a few in Canada. I met the guy who runs the new Sterling company when Clive and I were in Carlisle a couple years ago, so I know that all the missing parts should be easy to replace and this could be an incredible car that I’d never let go.
It looks pretty rough in these pictures, but check out the gallery of completed ones. It’s very seventies, I know, but really one of the most striking cars out there. Cross your fingers for me!

What an asshole!
Yeah, it’s cool, but where do you put the car seat?
That’s what my wife would question me on….
Fingers crossed here. I have always loved the Sterling and the Targa top. What kind of chassis is it?
It’s on a VW chassis. Just the regular top, although the targa top can be swapped in. Hopefully leaving shortly to go see it — I’ll post some pictures tonight if I can.
Holy hell, Shannon- it’s RAD!
