Post other past and present rides

My other Kit Car!


Aloha, kawika

Here's a couple of my past rides (Speedster & Buell) and a present infrequent ride (BSA)

Karmann the 66 Ghia

A couple'a my rides!

Here's a shot of my old Perry Spyder, sure miss it now. She made a good down payment on my SAW/SAS Cabrio, if it ever gets done.

My "1st Speedster" was really a '59 frame-off VW convert. It was your basic "death trap" with a 2110 stroker and lousy stock brakes. It now lives in Germany. My current Speedster is way better!

this was a fun one

my weekend ride

WooHooo!

I can't claim to have ridden the first, but I like the pic.
The second called out my name, it needed me and is on the way from MI. I can't wait.
The third is what I hope #2 will look like.

Me likes the cafe racers.

My "other" current rides.....

The 944 is still in the family. It used to be mine(wedding present from the wife),but my brother has it now. If he ever decides to sell it,I am next in line.

From this side of the world...

1966 Seat 6ooD descapotable, 1955 Vespa 125 (green) and 1967 Vespa 150s (blue)

Ignacio, The world is smaller and smaller. Nice collection!!! I had a totally restored 1963 150gl=very nice. I'm also a huge fan of the fiat 500's.

Custom built 55 Ford Pick up. Mild built mustang 302,automatic,disc brakes,tilt steering wheel, custom grey tweed interior, Viper red paint, 12 coats marine varnish oak bed with polished stainless steel strips and a lot more. 4 Years of hard labor ( would not want to do that again). It's been done for 12 years.And then of course the speedster, Tahoe, Toyota pickup, 17' center console boat and a motor home.

My personal favorite is Ron's submarine. Who has one of THOSE?

Here is my walk down memory lane....

I couldn't help myself

Motley crew of two past and one present rides. The Amigo is Steve's present ride. He put a 3" lift kit on it, little bigger tires, all the suspension is powder-coated. Its a crazy little billy goat and he terrifies me when he takes me off-roading. Swear that little truck-let can CLIMB TREES!

The jag was mine. It's a 1976 XJ-L (long wheelbase) sedan with a 300 plus horse small block chevy under the hood. Without question, the finest highway car I have ever driven. Stable as your living room couch at high speed, power everywhere and 26 mpg. Quiet and peaceful drive. Loved that car. Unfortunately it disappeared from our driveway one night... Six months later I bought what was left from the insurance company as in spite of going off the side of a mountain, the drivetrain is largely intact. I'll put the engine in my dad's monte carlo at some point. You would shudder to see this car now...

The van was also mine. I bought this from a gal up north. Her son and husband built it as a gift to her. 4.3 V-6, lowered, Stillen wheels, suspension, and body kit. Never gave us a lick of trouble. We traded it in on a diesel crew pickup for Steve (great truck). We used to call it "Mom's Bueno Van."

Oh yeah, can't forget this. This was my motorbike. Honda CBR 600. I sold this to use as a down-payment for a Porsche 904 replica from Thunder Ranch. I had the cashola in my hand at Knotts 2005 as the 904 was supposed to be there. No 904. So I didn't make the deposit.

Guess I should have kept the bike...

Vince, you sly dog. You may have earned that bike and lovely gal by serving in SEA but damn, you don't deserve 'em! Just kidding, both are sweeter than hell and more power to ya Bro!

Geez, I never thought to photograph any of my old rides. I did take some pics of my 71 Ghia convertible but have no idea where they are? I have gone from one extreme to the other. From a 66 Olds 98 to a Honda Interceptor 500 and lots in between, a 1972 914, 85 Jeep, 88 CRX, a couple Jettas, the list goes on. Now that I think about it - they all have some very fond memories attached to them and I'm a little sad that I don't have any pics to show.

Greg,
I can dig that turn-of-the-century two wheeler you're on. Watch out for low hanging tree limbs! I have an original, unrestored 1897 big wheeler in my living room, complete with kerosene lamp and tool bag. It seems to be in good working order, lacking only a front tire. So if anyone has a 25/100 x 55 (if my measurements are correct) let me know!

i should have kept it

this is my daily driver... well when ever I can that is...

Gerd...which one???

This is for Angela and Esther

Sorry for hijacking this thread.

Oh Vince! Men, cars and soapsuds. Hmmm.... Nice...
