Bad news and hard luck. I just spoke with Aussie Steve and he broke the MGB with Ford big block. He is still coming without it and now wants to buy a car to compete in The Aristocrat Class. His requirement is that it must be a 4 door.

If you are bored at your desk, please search CL listings for him and post here.
His path is straight down I 75 from Dayton.

What cha got? What can ya find?

Not aristocrat but there's the Dodge Caliber in the $2015 ads from a week ago. Its is Jacksonville only a little over an hour away. I have an offer in on it but if you want it for the Challenge I'll step aside.

UPDATE AND MORE TO THE STORY.
I spoke with Steve. He is driving solo so this car will need to be aquired very close to Gainesville. Say, within an hour of Gainesville.

This one is near Cleveland....He would have to drive it down, but I think it has possibilities. (Add green stripes?) http://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/5255596325.html

You've got some good choices there. The STS is cool, but FWD. The Jag looks good too, and that's RWD.

Agreed. That Lexus Is awesome. He should fly to the nearest port, have the ls400 owner pick him up (or is it LS 5?) and buy it, sight unseen, then drive to the event. Compete. And rumple that beer can up after the event. (Although I know from experience, those ls400's are hard to bend!)

Trust me if you tell someone you need picked up at the airport to buy a $1000 car you will need a really good explanation. They still won't take you seriously.

I have spoken to the 740il owner and plan to see it tomorrow. Flying is not an option, I am already en route in a Ram.
