I think '71 or so for the El Camino.

I was hoping for Bruce's help on the id'ing, especially the Elky. The man knows his El Caminos. I got here late, he's already off foolin' 'round somewheres.

Anywho:

Idk why.

Griff's right, 3rd generation Elky, '68 - '72. A Super Sport, likely a 454. I have a chrome straight front axle for that puppy.
The convertible is a '64.
The pickup is a Ford piece of shit. ;)

Thanks Bruce.

A friend just came back from a week in Cuba... it's ok, she's Canadian. ;)

New cabs in London, will free up a lot of diesel. Probably require some infrastructure changes.

Heard on article on NPR about the new London cabs, including comments from a cabbie. He was failry neutral but pointed out there are five thousand cabs in London, but not five thousand charging stations.

Seventy-four thousand smackers.

Jesus Fucking Christ.
