Hi Dave,
I don't think there was an argument to win or lose. Someone stating a
personal preference CAN'T be wrong, as it is their preference. I love them
both/all. The SRL 311 Solex was primarily built as a factory race car (hence
the R in the name). Racers tend to modify. ;-)
As Tim mentioned, If I had my Dad's 1600 that he bought new off the lot in
Thousand Oaks CA 1968, it would be absolutely bone stock (and original).
Since Loreli is a non-numbers matching 70 SRL Solex, I want her to go VROOM
(which she does) and be comfortable (which she's becoming).
Oh, FYI. I have dusted Corvettes OFF THE LINE (C4 vettes). I said nothing
about quarter mile HAHAHA! I smoked those suckers for the first 100 feet or
so though!
The Museum of Fine Art would not probably be a good idea for your paint
roller. Of course, neither would a beautifully preserved Roadster. However,
you could take the roller to the Museum of Modern Art. I'm not sure anyone
would notice the difference in some of THOSE paintings! LMAO!
Tim and Dave,
Ill send you separately a couple of pictures from a past eBay auction I
copied. A Roadster painted like a brick wall. It's hilarious!!! And not
factory original. HAHAHAHAHA!
Matt

Well...I wouldn't say you lost an argument Dave. I am sure there are loads
of stock Roadster owners out there that didn't voice anything. But here is a
vote for you (both actually).
I am leaving my (Dad's) 1600 as stock as I can. With the exception of a
modern alternator, I am not going to change anything.
The SRL, on the other hand, is going to get whatever mods I can do to it to
make it a faster, better handling, better stopping little rocket ship. Since
the motor is getting tired, that might mean putting a different motor in. If
so, then so be it.
Now I can't wait to find out where all the money is going to come from!!!

I really enjoyed this thread. I guess I lost the argument. The modified
people won.
I have been so motivated for the modification side that I am going to buy a
bucket of BERH paint and a roller at home depot and head to the Museum of
Fine Art and "MODIFY" some of those outdated old paintings that can't
compete with a fine digital print. How can Monet compete wit 7 megapixels?
The Mods Win.
