What a fun ride!



Ran into the local British car guru at work a few weeks ago (Ted Schumacher of TS Imported Auto). He had a sweet MGB V8 Roadster in for some work. Not available from the factory like this ( a limited number of V8 MGBGTs (coupes) were sold, but not ragtops.

Nice 3.5 liter aluminum block Rover motor with a cam, four barrel, aluminum intake and headers. Basically 300 hp in a go cart. Said I had seen many of these over the years but never ridden in one. "Jump in!", I was told...

He didn't have to ask twice!

You know... that '50 pan was pretty cool



even just as it was before I thought I had to take it back more stock. Paughco frame, wideglide with shoved legs, 21" star hub drum front wheel...
I guess the ultimate bike for me is always the one I don't have at the time...

Super Kim!



Borrowed from the Vintagent (on my blog list... check it out). I think I'm in love with a different motor....

I Pity the Fool...


How bad would it have sucked to be the lead designer at Cadillac when they boss said, "OK... we need to come up with a cooler car for the 1960 model year."
Unbeatable....

A project from four years ago that is still paying benefits





Phil's '78 Olds Delta 88 Royale. We freshened the motor, replaced brakes, tires exhaust, etc and made a pretty decent daily driver out of it....

I think 27 T roadsters make a pretty ultimate rod....


as long as you don't get carried away painting them...

I wanna ride with these guys....



They seem to understand that most people go for the Stabil a little too soon!

Who says Fascism can't be fun?



We might still be OK under the current administration. Except his EPA would never approve production of something as fun as an R71 BMW....

Big Block Buick in an MGB...that's what I'm talkin' 'bout...

A REAL Spitfire (thanks, Willie!)

Maximum Climate Change




When you need to get a lot of CO2 in the air and you don't have much time, nothing says Global warming to the huarache sandal and hemp necklace crowd like two stroke snowmobiles! Close the garage door a minute and feel the burn!
