nice '55 Chevys

I agree...
55 Chevys almost (I said almost) remind me of vintage Ferraris...     if you squint...     and have a few beers

Thanks guys... I agree with the Ferrari thing. I think it´s the grille that´s the same style.

Dang, that's a LOTTA biers. I'd require a stomach pumping.

 

I'll take Vintage Ferraris for $400, Alex.

[alfie the monster]

Wow my list's going to be pretty boring compared to some of these 

72 Beetle - wrong 'un with early panel but hey I was 17!
Citroen BX - Thankfully got written off by someone jumping some traffice lights.
Mk2 Vauuxhall Chavalier - Bought as a stop gap after the above. Engine blew up New Years Day, I had a Basil Fawlty moment and kicked it. Lots.
Mk2 Golf GTi - Real early one, loved this car but EVERYONE drove into it 
Company Rovers/MGF's/Mini's - Too many whilst I was selling them! Mainly had big arched Mini's as they were the most fun 
Ford Mundano - Ewww company car
Alfa 164 Cloverleaf - Black with Tan leather, virtually mint condition. Black with Tan leather, full Alfa history. Awesome car with thenicest sounding V6 ever. Sold it for more than doublew what I stole paid for it.
58 KG Coupe - Wish I'd never sold this one. Pretty much zero rust, now sat left in bare metal in someones garage. I want it back 
4 Mk4 Golf GTTDi 150's - Company hacks, great fun with superb mileage!
Audi TT Roadster - Yeah, many jokes about cutting peoples hair 
Audi S2 Avant - Made a fortune when I sold it, even though it needed a load spending on it when I bought it.
Audi 80 V6 Coupe - Biggest pile of shit ever. My one and only lemon car I've bought
New Shape Pissrat 2.0 TDi - What can I say, Das Drag Day and back on 1 tank of fuel 
Mk3 Golf GTi - Bright met Blue, 50k on the clock, sold that one for a profit after 7 months of owning it.
Mk4 2.0 TDi Golf - Perfect daily driver these, I'd have another tomorrow!
3 X Alfa 159's - Great looking cars, nice and comfy but damn they're sloooow
Alfa GT Coupe 'Blackline' - Awesome car, 18000 miles in 5 months and it didn't miss a beat, nor did it go through tyres, and I drive hard 

Some where in there fits a 195? Oval rolling shell I bought. Never collected it from where I bought it, turned it on for a small profit within a few weeks. And of course my 61 Beetle which I'll own forever. I nearly sold it once, and called the guy up when he was on his way telling him to go home. I'd rather put iot in the garage and leave it than sell it. My g/f will be sold into slavery before that goes...

Out of all of those, I wish I had the Alfa 164 and my KG back.

@Shubee2 (DSK) That's a bitchin Merc! I always wanted one... and I still do, preferably the Sam Barris Merc....

that's not boring. The 164 is a very cool high speed sedan

[Dave Rosique]

You guys are doing great! I've seen cars on this thread that I never knew existed!

Here is another one from the fleet...

My dirtbike... yeah, big deal a dirtbike... Hey, I said in the beginning anything goes! Riding helps keeps me somewhat sane    The bike is a 2002 Honda XR650R, hopped up a bit to 60 horsepower(est), and weighs only 275 lbs! This thing moves! These bikes are known as the King of Baja. I've made it street legal... the bike was originally sold in the states as off-road only, but with so many land closures for OHV's in California, plating it for the street is a good way to get around much of that. I've ridden bikes since I was a kid, and at 51 years young they still make me feel good... hope the knees hold up

Anybody else ride?

Here's my current fleet...

my weekend getaway and doghouse.

[Rennsurfer]

NOW, WE'RE TALKING! That's cool, Jim... I'll take that doghouse ANY day. In a perfect world, I'd have a sailboat... but I'd settle for a power one. Either way, I get to fish. Mmm, fish.

Mark,
In college I used to sail on lake tahoe pretty much every weekend in the late spring and summer months.  I originally wanted a sail boat, but the wife can't handle the slow speeds of a sailboat.

Too many VWs to list, other than to mention 1950, 1951 (Okrasa powered), 1952 (my drag car), another 1952, 1953, 1954 (first dual-Webered car), 1955 blah, blah, blah – and two near-identical 411LE Automatics, both Gambia Red. Mk1 Scirocco with Janspeed turbo and Bilstein suspension (back in 1979 – cool car).

Non-VWs:
1963 Austin Mini
1964 Fiat 600D
1966 Renault R10 1100
1968 Ford Zephyr Mk4 V4 2-litre (black, red interior, Appliance five-spokes... pseudo-Yank!)
Alfa Sud 1100 (roller-skate on steroids!)
Vauxhall Cavalier
Mk3 Ford Cortina (for two nights...)
1951 Studebaker Champion Starlight Coupé (bought off Dave Kawell – stock as a rock and cool as f...)
Rover 216 (Jap-crap in Brit clothing – actually not as bad a car as it sounds)
Bedford/Isuzu long-bed pick-up (bike hauler)
Rover 825 Vitesse (fast and furious but shit)
1966 Porsche 912
1971 Porsche 914/6 (an original 'six')
1974 Porsche Carrera 2.7 'outlaw' thingie (backdated to pre-impact bodywork, uprated suspension, stripped etc etc)
1980-something Porsche 928
1964 Porsche Junior Tractor
There are others, but I've forgotten them now, plus a load of motorcycles...

Current line-up:
1965 Bug
1998 Alfa Romeo 156 2.0TS
Vanagon with 2.5-litre four-cam Subaru motor
Microplus Explorer with dual Yamaha O/B motors

Bit boring, really.

That's the one. Limburg campsite, by the river. We caught the red-eye ferry and drove down. My passenger even managed to get some sleep at 70mph on the Autobahn! 

18 Hebmullers but only 1 Fugitive When I parked it in Bad Camberg it was surrounded by a crowd 3 deep...

My second VW...picture is from 1975   

[Sarge]

Ah, youth.... nice pic, Scott!  Sandwiched in between my first bug and the '63 was a 1956 Ford Parklane two door wagon I bought from the neighbors down the street for $100.  I drove this to Fullerton JC for a short time until a drunk plowed into me where Harbor Blvd used to curve west and become Whittier Blvd... totaled the car but I escaped unscathed.  Wish I had a pick of the white spray canned wheels and the dual 36" glass packs that exited in front of the rear wheels as well as the sprayed on window tint .  It had a 292 V8 with a three speed automatic (on the column) that you could drop into first and hammer then raise the shifter a click and drop back down for second gear and a nice chirp from the rear tires...

[speedwell]

  nice car scott and a very young sarge  ........

fabs

[Rennsurfer]

Some cool cars on this thread. Sarge, that wagon ROCKS! Us surfers like wagons. I haven't heard of anyone mentioning spray on window tint since the '70s. Forgotten about that stuff. I watched a few of my school mates apply that to their muscle cars and Cal Lookers, back then. Trippy stuff.
