Hey! I’ve owned 50 cars from Rolls to Isetta, so I welcome the all-comers events. Lucky to have Hagerty Cars & Caffeine here in Traverse City during our brief **bleep**’s near the top of my ice cream flavor choices. Jay’s the man!

This past year we bought a very used 1969 RAF Land Rover Lightweight Air-Portable Half Ton. Contemplating the green beast with lots of chipped paint, I chose NOT NEW, just to be certain there’s no confusion. Just sayin’…
