The 2002 is my favorite.

 

The 911 ('88) is loads of fun to drive, but it fits my wife's image more than mine.  I tell people that it's her car and I'm just her personal mechanic.

Knee deep in the rebuild of my '72 tii, I acquired this 1975 911.  It is a European model brought to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1984.  It has a 3.0 liter and was converted to a turbo look in Germany including a hideous blue interior sometime in the late '70's.  Lots of fun, but it is going to be a big project.

And a 50's Monark moped in the stage of restoration. Since 2003, actually.. And a running '64 Monark moped. When it feels like it, at least. And a '59, running but in a kind of mixed parts state. Used it for fishing trips and seeing to the horses when I lived in the woods.

Once I get the tii suspension refresh complete I'll put my '73 TR6 on the lift.

I will be elbow deep in renovation for the next year.

I'm right behind you with the TR6. After I get back from MidAmerica, the '69 TR6 will get my full attention.

I hope HBChris doesn't mind me posting this. It just seems so right considering they are both 1971 model cars. 

 

 

Danco - you made me look it up.   Possibly Chianti Red?  HBChris please elaborate or I'll have to make a trip West with some Griot's detailing goodies.

67 bug all orginal bought from the first owners family.

 

Be still my heart.  Most folks here don't know how hard it is to find an original owner 67 Beetle. That decklid alone is $$.  I see it has Euro rear lenses.

and one more, here is the make/model/look/color of the car I learned to drive in:  1958 Morris Minor.  My dad bought it new in DEC 1957 and sold it in 1999.  All of 40hp in the 1,000cc engine, 4-speed transmission.  When he rebuilt the engine in 1968, he and one of his firehouse pals simply unbolted the engine from the motor mounts & trans and lifted it out.  Last I heard, my dad's Morris is over on the Big Island somewhere.

 

 

Cheers,

My 1963 Triumph TR4....my first car at 16, that I drove until I was 38.  Before that, it was my fathers. He bought it from a co-worker in 1971 for $200.

The 2002 is the oldest car I own.

I have 2x 80's and 2x90's bmw's.

Unfortunately for me and my wife they are all somewhat project cars.

Firstly the E24 M635csi is the most classic. I bought it needing lots to do and slowly getting through all the jobs. Still needs a full resspray and an engine build which I have collected most of the parts for.

The E23 735i is a close cousin of the 6 and it's one of my favorate cars as it's unassuming and being my only auto it's my preferred traffic car. It's a bit of a Frankenstein car had high comp engine 292 cam with flowed b35 head but it still has the std headers and very tall diff gears. It runs reasonably smoothly but would greatly benifit from an adjustable ecu like the miller war chip. There's only so much u can do with trick info up the airflow meter.

I also have a e34 540i 6spd manual which has an ESS supercharger kit. The old owner put a rater expensive set of Brembo 4 piston brakes on it also. I'm just completing a full interior dye in lotus white on it. It goes like an absalute rocket. It's probably the most finished car I have. Shortly in the future I will install a water/air Intercooler on it and lift the boost a small amount which will give it consistent power in the warmer weather.

Finally I have an e36 m3 Evo. It's been setup for track days but 4or so years ago I lunched the engine and have built up a low compression s50b32 with a vortech supercharger which is going to run about 16-18psi. The engine is complete the standalone wired in and just finishin the last bits if the supercharger bracketing. Hopefully I will get it working by the end of 2015 but I get sidetracked with other cars. I'm not sure if I will keep it as I'm growing to like te older bmw's more. Still it's going to make probably more power than the current turbocharged m5 does and weigh 1300kg so it should be fun.
