I have a 944. My mom still takes care of me though, even though I don't live at home since I am away for college. She has the new 645Ci BMW, nice car. Does that count?

Crumpets and tea anyone?

Jag E-type 4.2 roadster
Jag S-type V8

I think the pinky lifting is cancelled out by my '67 VW bug and a Pontiac minivan, though.

What's a pinky lifter? Someone who doesn't wrench on his own car? That wouldn't be me.

1970 Porsche 911. Did an engine/tranny drop to replace the shift rod, including modification of a stock shift rod to work properly with the 915 transmission. Next step: stripping the Fuchs and powdercoating them in Ford engine blue, which is close enough to the color of the car that no one is likely to call me on it.

1988 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL. Replaced the timing chain, upper timing chain guides, timing chain tensioner, cam oiling towers, water pump, radiator, belts... have a new hood pad but haven't had time to install it.

1977 Corvette. Complete body-on restoration a few years back. This car has more of my personal philosophy on craftsmanship and engineering than any other car I've ever owned. Completely powdercoated suspension, hihg-performance engine, handling upgrades, and some shiny things to make the engine compartment sparkle.

By next summer I hope to be driving my:

'74 914 with a 2156cc turbo

'67 VW Kombi with a 2007cc T1

'67 bug (resto-custom) with a 2.6L DTM T4


For the winter my '71 squareback...might put my stock 914 1.8 L-jet in it.

And something water-cooled for the wife...anything is better than the piece "O" shit '99 Passat 1.8T that she's driving right now.

yahthatsright
Other than the Teener there’s the 58 Mercedes 190 SL, and ummmm well my 94 Ranger. You have to make some sacrifices to have a cool old sports car, and a 200,000 mile 4 cyl ranger is definitely a sacrifice. wink.gif

ok .... now you guys are throwing around "pinky lifter" for cars like 914-6 and old 911 and other like cars. when i think of "pinky lifter" i think of luxo liners and sport cushion cars or anything that you might find parked outside the local "whine and cheese shop".
