food, bikes,

all be a feast

Also... Awesome #maplesyrup from @guidosfreshmarketplace... multiple flocks of geese honking and heading north... hardware store run for nut/bolts for the bike... first spring peeper sounds... first mosquito in the garage... first dead mosquito if the season. #springisfinallyhere #thingsarelookingup

Ellabelle inspected at @treysonracin ... perfectly cut meats and fresh produce at @guidosfreshmarketplace ... and a stellar short ride in the 74F afternoon sunshine. And people are getting vaccinated. #thingsarelookingup #eatitlikeyoumeanit #rideitlikeyoustoleit

Things that you find after removing four quirky E1

Things that you find after removing four quirky E12 (E-Torx) bolts and finally removing your driver’s seat: A quarter and the following crumpled note apparently left for the car’s very original owner. Thankfully no ancient #frenchfries found. #dontbeajerk #driveitlikeyoustoleit #wrenching

Mission accomplished on the #MINI, but unfortunate

Mission accomplished on the #MINI, but unfortunately it didn't solve the "limp mode" problem. Eventually changing out the blow-off valve did. Threading this single breather hose (the one to the right) was a huge mess of a job but it likely needed to be done anyway as the plastic gets really brittle over time and was clearly the case when I removed the original. #wrenching #underthehood #driveitlikeyoustoleit #clubman

You see this? This means STOP. DO NOT PASS GO. You've got a bubble in your tire, which could blow out at any time as the sidewall has busted internally. Go get this fixed immediately. And if your tires are over 10 years old, time to recycle them - even if they look great and there's plenty of tread. Tires are more complicated than they look and they can be falling apart internally. #driveitlikeyoustoleit #987 #Porsche #Michelin

I absolutely love a simple roasted sausage recipe by @jamieoliver - it's insanely good. The key point is letting your oven do the work by caramelizing a bunch of cherry tomatoes and garlic - making a ridiculously rich and garlic-y sauce that you dip fresh bread into. #eatitlikeyoustoleit #dinnerofchampions #roasting #foodporn

Speaking of #Vespa -- Here's a shot of "Deuce, my #ET2 down at Yirrel Beach down in Winthrop, MA. Having #summertime thoughts here in early February, but we'll all have fun things to look forward to -- together -- assuming everyone gets vaccinated! So keep those masks on and hang in there! #rideitlikeyoustoleit #eattoride

As you all know, I love cool bikes and cool cars.

As you all know, I love cool bikes and cool cars. Well, #Vespa #scooters also fall in that category, particularly when one lives in a congested city -- as being able to go in the bike lane is sometimes the way to fly when you're picking up take-out and struggling to find parking.

For fun, I checked out another #ET2 - this time an hour away up. Bent front fork and a rattle can paint job = reminder to always try and look at a vehicle in person before buying. The owners were lovely, but clearly a hard pass at their asking price. #keeptherubbersidedown #eattoride #rideitlikeyoustoleit

#Caciola is Portuguese marinated beef, and is definitely still under the radar. With a bit of Sao Jorge cheese (kinda like a cheddar) - it's a mind-blowing lunch. Every time I ride down to Warren, RI - I try to pick one of these up at the #SipNDip down there. Lunch on the rocks on a chilly day at #Swansea (MA) town beach. Spring will be here soon, but why wait?

This humble little donut shop (#SipNDip) in Warren, RI (right across the MA border) easily has one of the best #sammiches you'll find in the state. I think I crowed about it before, but it's worth mentioning again. Lots of riders pull in here too. More in my next post. #eattoride #eatitlikeyoustoleit #rideitlikeyoustoleit #caciola

Sometimes you're just lounging on the couch, and you look out, and you happen upon a moonrise. And then, you think about how lucky you are to be alive in the universe. And then, you wonder what's for dinner. #eatitlikeyoustoleit #eattoride #forkintheroad

Speaking of #pizza -- I found this pic recently. Growing up in the '70s, every birthday party (for myself and my sister) thankfully involved pizza from a local place in #BedfordHills NY called John's Best Pizza (now long gone). And you know what? It was some amazing #zah and clearly one of the best parts of my (or anyone's) birthday. To this day, I still have that folding table in my garage and #oregano on my brain. #pizzaparty #eatitlikeyoustoleit

Call it #Detroit - style pizza, call it whatever. Just don't call me late for dinner. ;) On a busy weeknight, sometimes a fast-rising dough is just fine. #eatitlikeyoustoleit #foodspo #foodporn #zah

Per the antenna, the one concession that's not entirely accurate is this tiny bit of chrome #bling that was present on the earlier #E30 -- #BMW blacked out a lot of the early '90s cars for a sportier look, and my #325iC is a '92. I think the antenna was from earlier 6-series and it was close enough of a fit overall. Again, it is all in the details. #driveitlikeyoustoleit #restaurantracer #wrenching

Really proud of my redoing the #antenna on the #BM

Really proud of my redoing the #antenna on the #BMW #E30 this past fall. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all and generic antenna, I paid a little bit more and sourced an OEM Hirschmann that was correct. Like most car guys, most people won't know what's behind the trunk carpet - but at least I'll know I did it correctly as it's now a vintage car. #driveitlikeyoustoleit #convertible

And away she goes...SOLD! Lil'Car, thank you for nearly 23 years of top-down fun and incredible memories. At least you'll be going to a wonderful home and will be spending summers out on Martha's Vineyard. Not a bad way to spend the next chapters of your life, and the owner's grandkids will love you. Hopefully I'll come visit at some point! #VW #classic #convertible

You guys know I love to bake my own bread, but I also like to support local businesses as well -- I'm a huge fan of @berkshiremountainbakery in #GreatBarrington - especially as they have window service during COVID! Their bread and croissants rock. #eatitlikeyoustoleit #foodporn #eattoride #bakery

Because there are few better ways to culinarily ring in the new year than #eggsbenedict with the brightness of homemade #hollandaise !!! Here’s to a better year ahead, everyone.

Repairing the convertible lid motor now (again!) means being ready to quickly drop the top in early spring. Removable hardtop and snows are on. Let’s roll! #BMW #E30 #respectyourelders👊🔥 #325ic

Thank you for 7 amazing years, Oohlah. You're headed back to your original owner with a stupidly rare and removable hardtop, a new clutch, and a whole lotta love. As this was my first Porsche, you remember that you were my friend's first Porsche as well -- reuniting any car with their past owner is a great story and feels right. He'll take great care of you as he did in the past, and I hope to visit soon!

Am I done with P-cars? Absolutely not! So stay tuned per upcoming adventures... 🙂 #Porsche #driveitlikeyoustoleit #987 #P-car #Boxster #arcticsilver
