Pros, please put this to bed.

This is a Miller-Crosley owned and probably driven by John Bukovski at Del Mar

To be moved to the 'Solved' section?

Otto Puzzell · September 19, 2008, 01:03:45 PM

Yes, I should probably flag this one solved. But since nobody had invoked the eye-rolling smiley yet, I was not sure if it was time just yet.

Allemano · September 19, 2008, 01:06:40 PM

Yes, patience is a gift.

Came across this photo recently. I didn't know what it was. Thought maybe you guys don't either. And no, it is NOT lowdrag in a child's version of a Jaguar D-Type!

Otto Puzzell · September 21, 2009, 07:52:41 AM

Merged

Otto Puzzell · September 21, 2009, 07:53:03 AM

Did you come across it here?

MG · September 21, 2009, 01:48:29 PM

Found this photo looking for something else. Any of y'all know what it is? And no, it is NOT a picture of lowdrag as a boy in his D Type trainer!

H Mod guys... Here's a Crosley powered Special at Del Mar.

Who's driving? Is the hood about to fly off?

2-3-06 Tom Churchill adds:

"In your first H-mod page the car #290 is a Miller-Crosley owned and usually driven by John Bukowski. This was the twelfth car built by Don Miller according to the list printed in the Small Times."

Because MG didn't do a search and frankly I don't give a damn. Just glad to get him posting here again.

Ray B. · September 21, 2009, 02:24:23 PM

And I am too, and happy to meet Alfred E. Neumann at last!

Geez - I gotta merge 'em again.

I would wait till he sees this or he is likely to post it again.

Yikes. I am terribly embarrassed. Such incompetence. Can you say "early Alzheimer's", boys and girls? I DID try to put this up earlier but when I went back to find it, I couldn't. Thought I hit "preview" instead fo "post" again. I do that a lot, as the order of the buttons is reversed from what I am used to at CarNuts. I think Otto probably did that on purpose!

Anyway, all's well that end's well, I suppose. 2 points to anyone who can identify the origin of that line!

Otto Puzzell · September 22, 2009, 03:38:03 AM

Nostradamus?

Ray B. · September 22, 2009, 03:42:36 AM

What line? This one?

Well, except Shakespeare, it appears often in the last page of the "Tintin" albums, if I remember well.

Shakespeare did not include the second (incorrect) apostrophe

MG · September 22, 2009, 07:06:24 AM

Yikes! I have been busted by the apostrophe police!

Yes, the second apostrophe was a typo.

The entire line I sought to tease your collective brains with is, in its entirety:

"All's well that ends well.....I suppose".

Guesses?
