Its not an area of my expertise either.... I just put the YA up because I knew of them being a suicide front door 4 door saloon MG.

Don’t ask me either. Car registrations mean nothing to me either. But it’s always good to see classic MGs

First registered 1952. It's a YB, built 1951 to 1953.

Unsurprising really because they were designing the ZA monocoque saloon at the time. That was built as a Wolsely and (I think) a Riley too.

Missed an old 40s or so Dodge and what looked like MB 1113 box truck today. Really ****ed my phone was on the floor and couldn't get them. Both looked good and Dodge was perfect

No picture, didn’t happen.

[broadrun96]

I know, hated hated it cause the old Dodge was a BEAUT. Almost looped around to chase him down

Saab! Looking in good condition.

Coffee n cars today at a brewery, red theme...and fwiw, I had a hazy IPA and a Belgium IPA, with a combined ABV of 16%

[Adam43]

I should have gone. I like beer and red cars.

The Riley was a bigger car, which shared a bodyshell with the Wolseley 6/90.

Nothing too exotic here, just laughed at the van decals, and laughed at how big this trailer was to pick up a small light!

Go big or go home sir

This gentleman chose to go big as well

That would make a nice toy car replica. Especially with the design on the rear. Not too sure about the colour though

Always like the round windows on the continentals.

This model has some lovely brake cooling up front too I see.

I've now seen him the last 3 days and a lady who I am assuming is the original owner of a gen 1 RX-7 as well in the same area. And the RX is a red beaut

But more importantly, how is the pizza?

[broadrun96]

Absolute shyte, it is drunk pizza at best. Sausage they use is garbage, cheese is rubbery, crust is meh at best and sauce is red. So Atlanta pizza in a nutshell

Is it a type, or is that a comment on the quality of pizzaioli in Atlanta?

Would think it'd be better but what's the place for pie in Atlanta?

Quality, for the most part Atlanta pizza is meh with a few exceptions but this isn't really a pizza town.

Avellinos was tops but they sold and changed. We're still looking for a new good pizza of a NY/Jersey style. Varuni Napoli isn't bad but tourist area now so avoided. Most consistent that I usually get is Whole Foods pizza, Sunday I get one from the market vendor that isn't bad and he's getting used to his oven. And takes critiques from the wife for his dough and technique to make it better

Sunday breakfast, was a Mexican braised beef pizza and not bad. He makes a very nice breakfast with sausage, bacon, onion, peppers and cracks an egg in the middle
