The title of this week’s SORT is a nod to the fact that this makes the 3rd post in a row of this type here on the long running blog entitled Life of Brian with nothing in between. That means there have been 2 weeks with zero posts besides SORT. Let’s shoot for an actual post about said life between now and next Monday.

A Honda engine in a Toyota chassis painted a Nissan color.	A nicely modified off-roader that will last until the next century.	A cute camper just made for living off the grid with those solar panels.

The E46 M3 is the best M3, fight me on it.	Say Land Rover and this is the last thing you think of.	Just needs a fake company name on the sides.

This fits the Sport category because it has limited-slip, sport suspension, spoilers & weighs a mere 1600lbs.	The Swedish military utilized these for radio command operations through the early 1990s.	I wonder…we shipped a ’63 panel back from Guam, but sold it when it stranded us near Nashville in ’79.

Looking back it seems I pick one Z4 a year for SORT, so this is this year’s.	I’ve picked 17 Wranglers over the first three years, this is the 2nd this year.	This is only the fifth Audi over 162 weeks and the only one of the 6 series.

Last week’s 812 Superfast didn’t meet the reserve, but that’s OK as I’s like this blue one better.	If you have been following along on my BAT fun you’ll know that I’m a sucker for a Wrangler.	If this goes for around $10k I’d probably dump another $20k to restomod it to modern running gear.

It’s a Ferrari, it’s red, it has 12 cylinders, so…hold on.	In the bed’s plastic jump seats you’d better hold on.	Old Porsche repair costs? Hold on to your wallet.
