Comes from driving around flooded roads, to find good ones apparently.

I drive mine a lot too but I live in an area where I don't have to drive too far for anything.

Here are some pics of my British girl: a 2006 Triumph Bonneville Black. I've put a new set of British Customs Sleeper silencers on her since I took these pictures. I adore her, and she loves to feed my passion for fast things

Hard to beat the new Triumph classics! I have a Bonneville and a Thruxton, push the button and go.

A REAL Bonneville requires you to kick it and go.

It is a 350 but I doubt it is the same engine.

No, he's correct.
Used in the 92-96 Corvette C4, it's a detuned LT1.
260hp, 330lb ft torque.

I have got enough kicks on Bonneville's over the years and a lot of kick backs!

My dear sir, I quite disagree. While I would love to have a kick start, I push start her Isle of Mann TT style when I want to flex my muscles and show the superiority of my skill and manliness!

Yes, it's the Corvette-derived LT1.

Push it and pop the clutch in gear. Sounds good to me. Better than that lazy push button thing.

That is indeed, revision of October 1942. Above it is a Maine State Inspection sticker for Spring 1943.

The two stickers below the ration sticker are Federal Auto Use Tax stamps, the bottom one expiring June 30, 1943 and the top one expiring June 30, 1944. Every car owner had to pay a $5 annual Federal tax in order to operate that motor vehicle on any public way -- a war tax that continued until 1946. These stamps had to be plainly visible on the windshield of the car, with engine number and other information filled in on the back.

You can't really see it in the pic, but in the top corner of that windshield pane there's a Maine 1943 registration sticker, validating the use of 1942 license plates for the following year. I'd like to have an actual 1942 plate on the car to go with it, but we're only allowed to use year-of-manufacture plates here.

Wow Lizzie, that is really impressive. I didn't know there were so many stickers and stamps required on cars back then. I enjoyed the lesson. It is inspiring to see somebody who owns a car like yours pay so much attention to the details.
