TheMoose Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Still looking for something to join the Pilothouse in the garage but I have other toys. 1969 Autodynamics Deserter. Tube frame mid engine VW Weighs 1300# with me in it, 200 HP VW engine, 4:86.1 ring & pinion with close ratio gears. Revs to 10 grand 0-60 around 3 sec but tops out around 90 MPH. It is a monster on the SCCA Autocross races. This is what it looked like when I dragged it out of the field it had been in for 20+ years I also play with my Yamaha Raptor in the Sand dunes at Little Saraha This monster is a buddy's, I crew on it "VW" powered, Turbo on alky, 2.85 sec @ 120 MPH on a 100 yard sand drag track. 1 Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 Another one of my "other" rides. Aging yourself there, buddy. Wasn't the last year for those "old" square Caprices '88 or so? Chevy has a Caprice available again - only as a police car. It's built by Holden and imported. They're fast, but we don't buy any because they only make them with a console shift lever, and none of our retrofit stuff will fit. Its not exactly convenient for Oakland County, but did you ever use the driving course they had set up on Selfridge? I could see it from my office window, which proved amusing on occasion. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 (edited) My daily driver (company vehicle) is a '13 F150 Super Crew w/ 6.5' bed. And my Other Toy is a '03 Honda Gold Wing. (Yes, I pull this trailer all summer long) Yellow is a good camouflage color, no? Edited February 21, 2014 by Merle Coggins Quote

Merle Coggins Posted February 21, 2014 Report Posted February 21, 2014 I was just talking to someone about that trip yesterday. Good memories. Quote

I was a reserve deputy for 17 years (1982-1999). Made it up to Sgt. That was the training course they had set up at Pine Knob. I took my 12 year old son out there one day so he could see how they drive. The head instructor took him for a ride around the course. Then he did a 180 turn. Started in reverse, got up to speed, did a 180 and continued going forward. Must have impressed my son. He started his 18th year with our local pd. Right now, he's "on loan" to a Federal department (3 letters) for four years. Gets an unmarked "company car" to keep at home and has an office. Quote

I don't think reserve officers get all the credit they deserve. Which PD is your boy with? You'uns do the patch collecting thing? Quote
LAKOTA169 Posted February 25, 2014 Report Posted February 25, 2014 Too cool! I don't think reserve officers get all the credit they deserve. Which PD is your boy with? You'uns do the patch collecting thing? My son is with the Ferndale. Mi police. He's had a couple of his chases shown on national tv. One was of him chasing a Harley that was stolen at gun point. Went about 3 miles into Detroit. He bumped him 3 times before he knocked him of the bike. Guy got up and ran and son chased him into a backyard with his car. Says if you have to chase them on foot, you didn't drive far enough. There is a link on Live leak of the chase. Another chase showed him chasing a stolen Neon into Detroit (they always head into Detroit). Guy ended up going south in the 4 northbound lanes of Woodward Ave. Lost control running a red light and slid sideways into the front of a bus. I don't have any patches for trading. Quote

Funny thing about pursuits in SE Michigan, they always seemed to go into Detroit eventually- even ours where you wouldn't think there would be any ties. We'd have them head towards Detroit from the Ohio state line, and even had one run to the city from the Thumb several years ago. Not looking for patches myself, (I've got too many, and I've already got Oakland County and Ferndale), but will send a couple if you and/or your son are interested. Quote
pflaming Posted March 1, 2014 Report Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) This is my truck in its current condition. Go to get that ready to drive to the BBQ April 6. Learned today of a '38 Chevy 1/2T pickup. If I can buy that I WILL. I rode to high school in this '38. Would want one in a heart beat. These are waiting. Bought the suburban for the bumpers then liked it too much to abandon it, that car follows the B3B: saw the convertible and those are scarce so . . . ; the Caballero, my father's last car, was given to me by my brothers. So those are my 'to be' rides. My wife drives a very low mileage Honda Accord. Edited March 1, 2014 by pflaming Quote

Lumpy Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) And I almost forgot the 1974 Rat-Bug. 1776cc engine, best heads, Weber 2-staged 2-barrel, counter weighted crank, full filter oil system, good cam, and the only used parts in the engine are the connecting rods. ken.

Lumpy Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) Do kayaks count? Here's Rock Lake Red, aka the Rock Lake Special. 16' Riot Performa, Fiberglass, Sweden form. She'll carry 110 pounds of gear, all under the deck, and still slice through rough water like the infamous hot knife through warm butter. She's a great ride. ken. Edited March 2, 2014 by Lumpy Quote

busycoupe Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Here is one of my other rides. No, it doesn't ride on wheels, but if airplanes and tractors count, I guess this should. Quote
Don Coatney Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Tractors and airplanes. Here is my wife on the tractor we had on the farm near Buffalo. And this is not an airplane but it is named after one. 1 Quote
pflaming Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Don, there is a new car coming out of Atlanta, GA much like this. Can't recall the name, something like Alias or Al_____ something. A two seater with the passenger behind the driver. 98 MPH. Quote
Lumpy Posted March 2, 2014 Report Posted March 2, 2014 Sailboats! I have a MacGregor Venture 21, but as you can see, I've only sailed it in the driveway so far. Don, that little areo whatever it is...those go for the big bucks now. And let's make that steam engine bigger, and hook it up to a generator. That would be cool. T-Bucket with a FORD engine! YEAH BABY! My heart soars like a hawk, to see that! ken. Quote
