That Porsche would be dangerous to drive alone. Ladies would be trying to jump in the thing while it was still moving

And the stratos..... haaawwwwtttt.

I would love to have either of those.

I suspect that it's a Beck reproduction, which is better than original.

  1. Maintenance - brakes on my RAM truck, my G Coupe's Brembos.
  2. SR20 replacement for my second B13, either VE or DET, haven't decided
  3. Finishing my radiator support replacement project on my '95 U13 Altima, otherwise in excellent shape, original owner. Installing it's RT ECU and the boxes of other performance parts.
  4. GSpec braces and a slew of other purchased-not-installed parts on my '04 G Coupe.

Classic 6 projects at once, then the maintenance creeps in and steals my time! With the 4WD, two immaculate B13's, the U13 and the G Coupe, there's plenty to be done. :D

You are correct. I have lusted after one ever since I read a road test a long time ago in one the "Big" auto mags.

You would be totally right, I used to get phone numbers written in lipstick on mine. My wife was NOT amused.

Did get underwear occasionally, all petite, except for one which was like a 4XL have a picture somewhere in the safe. It was wrapped around the steering wheel. Got it out of the car with a stick I found on the ground.

What the heck is it?

Actually I've been thinking about my sisters blown-engined Volvo 122, and my beat-to-heck '96 Miata. A Nippon-Scandanavian melding? Hmmmm. there's a lot to be said for starting a project with both donors for free!

Right, it's a Bristol 405. I wonder how things would have turned out if Bristol Aeroplane Company didn't secretly raid the American-occupied city of Munich and take BMW's plans and equipment. Any guess on what would have happened if the Americans were able to bring it back as they planned.

That (Swift GT powered) has been on my 'what to do when I retire' list for a few years. Of course, that could change. I have been thinking a lot about building a vintage stock car lately.

'Granny' at Granny's Speed Shop did just that and campainged a dirt tracker at local tracks in Washington. State, that is. Google Mazda RX7 v8 conversions, and you should get there...I've lost the link, or I'd put it in.

There is no such thing as to much power.

And then there's the various twin engined Bike-Engined-Cars that have showed up on various Brit kitcar sites. And the Sylva R1ot...I would love one of those.

Always have a BMW 2002 (roundie ofcourse) in the back of my head. Like to bounce around the idea of something light, cheap, and good handling. It has to have gumballs when it is done.

I've been thinking about how much I need a cheap truck. I'll probably grab something small, cheap and good on gas rather soon. But when I've got kids, I'd like a full-size four door. A current-gen F-150 SuperCrew with the towing package would be great. Fortunately, they will be very cheap by then. Not much depreciates quicker than an American full-size pickup.

I want to build a rat rod with a postal Jeep frame, some old body and Jaguar straight six. I have begun to slowly collect small pieces when the price is right for this idea.

Which car to go ahead with for the Challenge this year, as there isn't money or time to bring both. Yes, now it's two projects. I'll be tossing this one over in my head for a week or so. Don't really have more time than that if I want to get either done in time.
