Weekly Roundup: The League Of Ordinary Gentlemen Edition

I'd like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the readers and friends who contributed to my participation in today's Distinguished Gentlemen Ride. I appreciate your belief in the DGR's mission and your personal support. It means a lot to me and it is humbling in ways that are difficult to convey in this format. I'll be putting up photos from the ride as I get them, but for now you are invited to take a moment to mourn my Zegna Trofeo jacket which suffered serious and possibly terminal damage from being run at 90 miles per hour around Interstate 270 this morning. I'll keep you posted on Trofeo's convalescence and recuperation.

Seriously, however, the ride was a blast and it put me back in touch with a local fellow who builds some wicked vintage Triumphs. I'll be visiting his secret stash and sharing it with you in the near future. For now, check out the contributions that Bark and I managed to get out the door last week.

The nice crew at Road&Track web put my Great Escape twin test up and also were kind enough to let me tell you all about a secret sleeper engine that powers a lot of great choices for young driving enthusiasts.

Brother Bark told the readers at TTAC how to make America great again with a Mexican car.

I answered a reader question about American exceptionalism and asked the readers tell me how they define speed.

Below you'll see a few random shots I took from the DGR. More to come as I get them.
