The Beck that the SOC spec'd

Remember, I said that Natalie is a piece of Speedster trivia, not Tom trivia. Also, remember the prior clue "drive it like you stole it."

Is it the Natalie Wood, James Dean, Porsche connection

Nope to all answers, so far.

Portman?

Tom,
Natalie was the code name for the Porsche Speedster in the movie
"Gone In Sixty Seconds"!! Easy Peasy!!

Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Actually if one would enter Speedster and Natalie in Google, this hit comes right up :) Allan, would you like the cap? If so, let me know on this post and email me your address and I'll get it on it's way.

You can never have enough hats! email sent. Thanks!!

Brilliant. I'd have never guessed.

Good job Alan!

BTW was that the original movie or the remake?

Trivia point: a Intermeccanica was one of the cars stolen in the first movie.

The remake

By God yes, we are finally having fun here. New Speedie is goin' down the road, SEG firmly in place, door prizes, and smiles all around. Congrats, and of course it is Official now: Welcome to the Madness. And I'm not talkin' March, hoops and all of that . . .

Thanks Kelly. I put my first 120 trouble-free (but cold) miles on her today with my sons (one at a time). When I got home, I checked the dipstick thermometer (that I added) and the temp was below 200 :). Unfortunately, at the same time, I discovered that the bolt on the hinge that the prop rod loops over had vibrated loose and vanished. All part of the madness, I guess :). I now will go to bed with a wind-burned SEG. It was a great day!

Tom - all in all, it sounds like you had a pretty good day!!

Peace - Out!

Hey Tom,

Waiting for you! Remember, you will be required to report back to the SOC about your ride. I was thinking about washing, waxing, even polishing the stainless wheel covers for a few more MPH! :~).

Tom - years ago, John Steele told me to ALWAYS use nylock nuts for EVERYTHING I attach to these cars. After nine years, I just refer to them as "special speedster fasteners".

Glad you had a grand trip - and many more are still a -waiting . . . .

Just got back from vacation and found this waiting in the mail. The first part of the adventure is complete. Now on to, hopefully, many years of fun driving and new friendships.

NICE! A conversation piece attached to another conversation piece!
