I hear that, HRP I went to a show in Woodland, WA last year, and saw some really nice cars. Then I went into the area where the show cars were. Walked around for a few, and went back out and cruised around the streets looking at the ones "what somebody drove". And they were fantastic! They...

been off visiting Since I bought a little 77 MGB to supplement my other two daily drivers, I have been sorting it out. Found a forum a lot like this called the MG Experience. Tell you what, you get a couple of thousand people together talking about one single car model, and you got some...

Thanks for the guidance back to the path! Don - the V-8 actually came in a stock car called the MGC. Don't remember a lot of details but it seems like it was the same engine they put in the Sunbeam Tiger. A small v-8. And Tripper - no Su carbs (unfortunately) it has the single Zenith model...

I'll admit I use it To keep up with friends and family. But I do have a semi-functional brain, and I do not advertise when I am going to be out of town or what new things I have at my home at 123 Main street, BFE. It amazes me what some people will tell you on there. Someone was talking...

?????? Did you brush it on, or roll it? I am semi-serious when I ask this.:eek:

Everyone said when I started doing Rats that I had turned to the Dark Side! (Oh, no, Luke!) Well, now I really have. And the first thing I ran into was Lucas electrical problems (he is known as the "Prince of Darkness" to British car fans) A 77 MGB followed me home this week. Little...

Hey, protect it from rust and fugheddaboudit! Seems like as soon as I would fix one, another came right along. As long as I left them alone, things stayed peacefull!

HRP! A riding lawmower does a better job, and you get more distance out of it! My Craftman can sling a snake half a mile! Plus, if you have to chase it around, the lawn gets mowed.:D

"She'll have fun, fun, fun till her Daddy takes the Beemer away.....!" With apologies...............:rolleyes: My lovely wife loved her 89 Jaguar XJS. Only got one ticket. Flattest and longest road you can imagine, and one big gravel pile!:eek:

Too true! I guess I will take my chances. But unless he moves, it struck me later that he will have to deal with safety inspections and emissions. Altho I think the smog test will be waived. Since the car will be "largely" a 1929!

Gracias! It actually sounds just about like the Oregon law. I am just wondering if I do the title thing here in Oregon, and then it gets down to Utah, would someone have to do it again? Or is it done, and just a title transfer? I plan on getting it road worthy here and keeping it a few...

Hey, all you lawyers! If I build a car, and get a reconstructed title in Oregon, where it is fairly easy, will it transfer to another state? Or do I have to do the reconstructed thing in that state?:confused: Reason I ask, I am building my 29 Desoto with my grandson in mind (a few years down...

Hey, Brad! How many times I gotta tell you to stop taking pictures of my house? Geez.[ddev

Yeah, I suspect that's true, but to tie up $60,000 plus stiff yearly taxes to keep it empty is a little spendy. Got other things I would rather spend it on. But at least they will know what they are going to be living next to! And I do tend to go out and work in the shop at odd hours. During...

me too I live in the sticks on 3 acres, with two and a half empty and available next door. Since the house would have to sit right next to my driveway, I make sure that if I see anyone looking at the lot, the door goes up to the shop, and I make noise! Stereo and grinder usually works. The...
