Old Car, that looks exactly like one that a co-worker drove every day to work. That was 30 years ago and I could never talk her into selling it to me then! Like that you stayed original.

Here is a pic of my 1952 Dodge B3B pickup. It has been restored back to original except for the paint. The baby blue was not a factory color in 52.
One of these days I would like to get back to its original dark blue color.
I wonder if they make a WD hitch for these???

We've had the car for 22 years. Didn't look like these pictures, I promise! We got it from an older couple who lived on the south side of KC. Red Bridge Road and Holmes area.

Just found this thread, sorry I'm a bit slow, here is my bottomless pit. Unfortunately its gotta go, the cost of bringing it to Canada and satisfying compliance is just too many $$$

I love these threads

Boat, we live a block from the lake so we have to have one.


Golf carts, we use them to get to and from the lake and they're just kinda fun to make a little special.

Summer rides,




Winter rides

And............ winter lake shot



The golf carts go out to the fishing shantys when we have low snow conditions

Oh........and this. We found this whilst waiting for the ferry, the DW says its the most expensive ferry ride we ever made In the spring I need to do the manifolds and risers.

1969 Austin America 1300 CC front wheel drive original interior. The America was only built for 4 years 1968 to 1971. Its not a Mini! But a lot of mini drivers took the motors out of the America to run in their cars as rally vehicles replacing the 998 engines.


and if someone could explain how they added pictures into their reply that would be great.img0339.jpg | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
best I could do.

There are about 120 left on the roads in North America today.
Somehow my photo appeared in this article April 2010 http://jeanne-inoneplace.blogspot.co...n-america.html Suprize! I guess I should be flattered at my car and picture being used by someone else.

It's a 72 Dart Demon original 340 - 4spd car

My father had a Dart Demon - withthe 340 in it until I borrowed it one Friday night to go to the movies.
It never made it past the KFC driveway in town coming out of the Rotten Ronnies house of fine foods next door. Pavement was wet and I had the lead foot disease. that pole never knew what it got hit by.

I on the other hand know what hit me when my dad arrived on scene.

I was made to pay its value back working weekends and evenings at a job I hated. But it taught me respect for others property. What floored me was our youngerst son now 23, had a sort of laise fair attitude about stuff and the other day he looked at me when he was home and said "I finally got it, I know why dad was always upset with us leaving stuff outside and or ruining it"
Lightbulbs do turn on. some delayed but....

1. My toy
2. Her toy
3. My work toy, probably the most expensive(8 figures easy$$$$ )

[great white]

62 Thunderbird (Resto in progress)



1985 Honda Interceptor (not quite stock)



Raptor V30 (just one, I have several others)



The really expensive other "toy" (on a hill overlooking our sheltered harbor)

No pics of my 83 mustang or my 1982 Nighthawk. (insert winking smiley face here, dang four image per post limit!)

I didn't include the truck, the trailer or the wife's cars. We use them all the time, so I don't consider them "toys"....

Which way are you trying to do this, I'm no expert, but clic reply to post, as you do, click the paperclip, new window pops up unless you have a Mac then I've no idea, click browse and find the picture you want, do up to 5, click up load, wait a few minutes, when finished close that window.

Go to to reply window again, click the paperclip icon again, select the pics you want, or all of them if you wish, should be all done, then preview.

Just make sure your pics are jpegs and less than 100kbs massive files don't work,

Something like that!
