>To partly explain the lack of new content on this site, here is what I’ve been up to: I purchased this 1973 GTV last May. It was parked decades ago; at some point or time somebody needed a spark plug and pulled it from this car, not bothering to put anything in its place. Year … Continue reading »
>To demonstrate that one can’t have too many cars, here is the latest addition to my fleet, a 1985 Renault 4. It sat on the side of a neighbor’s house for about six years but he never got around to doing anything with it. He is moving and I ended up with the car. It … Continue reading »
>My latest acquisition: A 1971 BMW 1600. This BMW was built in January of 1971 before being delivered to the BMW dealership in Fort Worth, Texas. It was acquired by a gentleman named “Mr. Johnson” of Lubbock, Texas, and it made its way through a handful of other North Texas owners before I bought it … Continue reading »
>Unfortunately, my internet back home in Erie isn’t functioning very well and I havn’t been able to sort it out yet. Therefore, I can’t seem to upload any photos to Blogger at the moment, but for some reason or another, I’m able to upload to Facebook.

I mostly purchased it because being … Continue reading »

They had the high-end DS and the economy 2CV and 2CV based cars (Ami8, Ami Super, etc) but nothing in between. The GS was a well engineered and successful remedy to that. It was awarded … Continue reading »
> I’ve been after another air-cooled Volkswagen since I sold my 1962 Bug in 2007. I found a replacement (more or less) last week when I picked up this 1973 Bus from a shop around Provo, Utah. I don’t know much about its history but it was last tagged in 1997 in Washington, plate number … Continue reading »
The Alfa Romeo 75 came out in 1985 as a 1986 model and was designed in-house by Alfa Romeo. It was called 75 to mark Alfa Romeo’s 75th anniversary and was available with a whole host of engines, gas and diesel, including Alfa’s venerable twin-cam.

> While home over break from Penn State, I snapped a few photos at the “progress” being made with our ’74 Porsche 914 which some readers may recall was involved in a rather bad hit-and-run accident early this summer. My dad has been busy with the old angle-grider and cut some crumpled sections of the … Continue reading »
>Open up most classic car magazines and you’ll find a section called “in our garage” or something of the sort. Well, here is our own version of “in our garage”– or what finally left my garage. I’ve had this 1988 Alfa Milano Verde since October of 2004. I parked it in April 2006 due to … Continue reading »
