    WHO has vintage pics to share?

    If you have exterior or interior pictures that show cars back in the day.... We would ALL love to see them....

    Even modern day pictures are really great, but there aren't many common photo's of how these cars were made or exist...

    Don: Yes. I owned both PF coupe 1747 and Boano 581 for six years while in Seattle. They were quite different in driving feedback. The first thing I discovered the hard way was that the shift pattern was the opposite of that on the PF with 1st and 2nd to the right and 3rd and 4th to the left on the shift gate. The Boano was a brute to drive as compared to the much more civilized and silky smooth PF. It had a much stiffer ride, brutal power that came on in a rush, whereas the PF is smooth from idle and very gentle and easy to drive. It would pull away from a dead stop in 4th gear, whereas the Boano required some RPMs. The clutch was a bit heavier in the Boano and the drum brakes required both legs! The disk brakes on the PF required little peddle pressure.
