Good morning fellow Porchatonians!!!

 

Good morning. Already back from the gym and getting ready for my music lesson. Then it is off to Costco, going to be a busy day.

What can you tell me about this one?
Blog I found some pics on said it was built for the movie but Connery's head stuck out too far and looked ridiculous so that's when they decided on doing the roadster. Never knew this one even (ever) existed. Knew the story behind the roadster

Didnt know they did a targa top..

 

Good morning all.

 

No it wasn’t a targa.
They just lopped off the whole top.


We might have owned that but I’ll have to check and go through the records.
We have the only weatherproof 2000GT convertible in the world.
It was a custom one off build. There was a major issue with the roof so the boys made a actual
Weatherproof convertible..

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue!

 

Our one of a kind convertible

 

Oh
Shawn Connery sat on the floor on a thin pillow and he still was to tall for the roof.

 

You need that helicopter he flew in the movie to complete the set...

 

Oh the gyrocopter?

 

Good Morning Porch Folks

Love scallops any way they are prepared as long as they don't overcook them. Last time I had them was in a shrimp scallop fettuccine dinner with a white cream sauce

 

Kenn Wallis was an incredible man.
He flew all the stunts for the movie..

 

Nope, nope, nope

 

, make that X2 !!!!

 

The targa car pictured we did own. Was sold to a dealer in Collywestern England.
We haven’t heard about the car since.
So yes, my fingerprints are on that car.

 

Sure hope he had a good seatbelt on....

 

Yes he did.
He designed many of them. He made a point on showing the stability of his aircraft with stunts like this.

 

Mike: Nice pic, TY for sharing. Bet the color copy was stunning.

Good morning. Up early to prepare a pork loin for dinner tomorrow night. Going to remove the silverskin and get it into a wet brine for the day. I plan on doing a simple weave anf cook it on the smoker.

Up early to get to the gym by 6am. I have a cardiologist appointment this morning and a lower back MRI in the afternoon.

 

Good morning fellow Porchatonians!!!
