your vintage 2002 photos

[f1reverb]

or budgie-cage floor. Me vintage late '73 or '74 in Hollywood. Back then you had to go to the newstands in Hollywood to find the British car mags like Motorsport and Autosport. My best friend shot the pic and maybe the negative survives, but the Cosmics shot is a scan from a print. I paid 100 bucks for the set of Cosmics brand new. The tires were Uniroyal Rallye 180s, which were excellent then. A lot of '02s came with 180s new. Once I got the Turbo flares/spoilers in '75, I sold the Cosmics and got a set of new American Libre 13x7 wheels for 120. I took 'em to Ron's Tire and Wheel in North Hollywood (they are still around) and had the set polished for a total of 60 bucks.

Same car, same mustache (parking at Riverside F5000 race in 1973, which was the first time I ever tried taking pics at a car race) . . .

Different car, same mustache (June '75) . . .

Same car as Cosmics, broken down (shiftrod pin fell out), Jawbone Canyon US 395, March '73, no mustache . . .

Different car, no mustache, same Nurburgring (July '77) [scan of Xerox color copy on a sheet of paper]. . .

No mustache, no Cosmics, plucked from the Twilight Zone (August 1960) . . .

Great pics bud. Were you really in an episode of The Twilight Zone with Burgess Meredith? Had some great talks with people at the Vara Oktoberfest event about the old Riverside track. Good times. That place lives on even though it's now a huge mall.

Read this link for the TZ story and pics of my bros too as we all were in TZs . . .

Recently I came across the TZ Cafe fan website and a link talking about the bros in a thread about families/siblings in the TZ . . .

Check one of my albums. Lots of vintage French stuff.

Nice collection Lee. I added a few of those to my screen saver queue.

Sarah, I emailed you a few shots. Sounds like a great project. I hope you get lots of material.

I'm refering to the Spooky Tooth Walrus cover version since InkaSteve's comment was so biting (and he owns a dental lab).

" . . . Perhaps the all-time 'heaviest' Spooky Tooth number was their interpretation of The Beatles''I Am The Walrus', a lumbering sinister version featuring Mike Harrison's ravaged vocal style. . . "

I have seen these two on FAQ more than once. Does anybody know the story behind either of these?

That's right. I should have recognized the junk yard dog! Duke Rimmer's legacy lives on as that photo seems to pop up in every other engine swap thread.
