that is Providence City hall..isn't it?? huh, I live just around there..!!

 

1958 Ford Prefect De Luxe (Which meant it had a glove box)
3 forward gears. The biggest pain as I recall was it had vacuum operated windscreen wipers which operated off the manifold. The slightest build of snow on the screen they'd stop. They'd slow down with the revs as well!

 

1972 Toyota Carina Coupe. Basically a Corolla with rear coil springs instead of rear leaf springs. Good motor - hemi head 1.6 liter 2TC motor.

but then i dropped in a Japan-only 2TG 1.6liter twin cam dual Solex (factory Mikuni) 40 sidedraft's. Ported it, bigger valves, and upgraded to real Mikuni 44's. pulled to 7400 rpm. rev'd to almost 8 grand. A rocket for it's time. This motor came out in late 70's in japan.

I loved that car... drove it into the 90's. The modded Si's (civics and CRX's) started beating me, so when I blew the motor I changed cars.

 

1970 240Z

This is a picture taken a few months ago ..........New paint should be complete in a month or so!

 

1968 VW cabriolet, sort of a Spa yellow, $1500 in 1969, first year in grad school. Great little car and great memories

 

my first car - 1969 fiat spider with 180k miles from the original owner, my parents - loved it and still want it license plates 2ahs971...I've heard it is still in orange county, but cannot quite get to it... not that the s2000 doesn't out perform it

 

1981 Civic.

Got me started on this whole Honda thing.
That thing ran forever with only the slightest attention.

 

A red s2000

 

A Pontiac Ventura, 1977. Talk about a piece of shit... no, I don't have pics...and please spare me the embarrisment by not posting any of it either...
