About me and my passion for cars

Another in a Line of "Put in Gas, Burn, Make Noise" Enthusiasts of our Family.
My Grandfather was a SeaBee in the S Pacific during WWII. Owned a Gulf Station with 6 service bays. Moved to Daytona the last year the Race was on the beach. He was killed during a professional rally in Sebring doing what he liked best, driving his 65 XKE.
My Dad has built Street Rods since the early 50's and he still does. He currently has a Mercedes Estate Wagon and a BMW M3 that share the daily driving routines and another 32 Coupe in the works.
My sons have the bug but are unable to afford the hobby at this time.

My first car

Never Had a vehicle with 4 wheels until I got married.
I had lots of Motorcycles from BSA, Triumph, Honda, Suzuki.
Drove my Dad's cars when I needed a roof.
My First car was a 1974 Yellow Ford Courier. In 1976 it turned into Triumph Spitfire.

The Triumph would be nice to have since it was so simple.
