About Daniel_K_Munroe’s Garage

 

About me and my passion for cars

Daniel K Munroe is the name I write (action/adventure fiction) under. I discovered my passion for cars at about age twelve and have been a hopeless case ever since. Fortunately, I have a wonderful and understanding partner. However, we do sometimes institute a "car-less day" initiative whereby I'm not allowed to talk about cars for one full day per week. It's fun ... but I'm generally pretty quiet on those days! My big news is the publishing of my action adventure novel "Super Duty", a story featuring an attempt to secretly reclaim a stolen 1973 Pontiac Trans Am Super Duty. Go to the publisher's website www.tightwriters.com to see an excerpt or to order your copy. The book is initially only available to order online, and is posted out in paperback format. While it is aimed squarely at car lovers, it works for "non-car" people too. There is very little fiction written for car people, so please feel free to spread word of this book and the publisher's website. Enjoy!

My first car

1961 Ford fairlane 500 sedan (332 cubic inch with 2 speed auto)

Car I wish I still had

1969 Chevrolet Caprice 4 door Hardtop 327 cubic inch auto

My dream car

The Corvette I finally own. I've wanted a 1974 Stingray 454 Coupe since ... 1975. I finally bought one at the end of 2005. Yes, I'm a very patient man!

Otherwise .. a Lamborghini Gallardo. Drove one once, and I am now spoiled for life!

Car clubs I’m in

Favorites

  • Driving song: Benny and the Jets

Thank you for the comment. I have been in love with cars and corvettes since I was a kid. I really like your 74 with the 454. Great look Corvette and really interesting seeing it shipped in the container. I would be nervous to watching them unpack it. Good luck with it and enjoy driving it.

Thanks for the kind words. That's a good way to put it. Too many in the car hobby practice the "grass is always greener" method rather than appreciating what they have. I like what I like and it suits me. Book sounds interesting. I'll be checking it out.

that's ok, the good guys can't drive a ford or they wouldn't win =P
Gas prices are getting too high so I bought a 95 protege and I want to swap another motor in the crown vic. I'm not sure what kind of motor though, i was thinking of finding a turbo diesel motor that would fit in there or maybe an ls1.

i have a lot of thinking, research and planning to do.
anyway I plan to order a copy of your book, looks like a great read! the cover looks great too

Damn...........I hoped that you had a SD....
Love those cars, My sister had a 73 T/A that had a transplanted 454 Chevy in it that was FAST!!!!!!!
I talked her into letting me take for a school dance 2 weeks after I got my license, Well went out with the boys, Got stopped racing and tried to convince the cop I was doing the speed limit because my speedometer said I was doing 45. Well....he asked to point out my speedo and I pointed to my RPM gauge in the dash, Thought he would pee his pants laughing. Still got a ticket but instead of drag racing, 98 in a 45 zone etc...he wrote me up for 52 in a 45.
Oh what fun those cars were and are, Just cant afford one now.
Thanks for the comment by the way.

I always liked those 'Vettes! My friend has a '72 and he always makes fun of the "rubber bumper" models. I think they just look more sleek! That is a fine example you have there! 454 forever! No replacement for displacement!

my car recently got a ticket on it and a 72 hour tow, and since the name on the title was under my dads, he traded for a fixed up 68 mustang, and it is registered unlike my other one, so that blows big dick, but the 68 mustang will still be enjoyable, just wish it were the fastback form

I have other pictures, but I sold it in 78 and haven't seen them for a while. If I find them, I'll post them. Although I love Vettes, it was my favorite car to drive. I was on a wide curve when I hit 135 and my buddy almost wet his pants, but the TA just hugged the road. They were awesome cars.

Looks like you've done a great job with your 454. Love the big blocks. I see you like the Ponchos too. I used to own a 73 Trans Am (not SD, though). Built it and ran it hard. Wish I still had it. Thanks for the positive comment.
