PatS.... Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 I have had about 300 as well, but I'm 20 years older so you got me beat. I started writing them down in a book about 25 years ago after a friend asked me how many vehicles I've had. No way I would remember them all today. I wish I had taken more pictures but some I didn't own long enough to take one Never owned an Asian vehicle but had a few English beasts. Just one project now. That's enough. Quote
Guest mikeys toy Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 I learned pretty quick to shy away from English cars; my cricket(s) have been pretty damn reliable, but they are really conventional cars....except for the zenith sideraft carb Quote

D25_Steve Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 I LOVE mustang II's.......MMMMMMM..... 302 powered pinto goodness......... I'll agree with you on that one, but only if we're talking Cobra IIs or King Cobra IIs - definitely no ghias. Quote
Guest mikeys toy Posted December 12, 2006 Report Posted December 12, 2006 a buddy of mine had a '68 spitfire mk III. That car was SO much fun! I taught my self how to drift in that car (swing axles) the starter was out and the wiring was jury-rigged, it had a house light switch for the ignition. You had to push it (easy) reach down, flip on the switch, yank it into second and jump in before it got away from you...... man....it's a wonder we didn't kill ourselves........ Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Posted December 12, 2006 I own later models, three Mk Iv and one 1500's and a GT6..Giovanni Michelotti at his best...that is a timeless design..at my towering 5' 7.5" height..it is just a hand taller than my belly button..I did a complete body strip, repair, some panel replace and paint on a Mk III years ago for a cute little blond..painted it that Mazda Miata lipstick red...complete with matching lift off hardtop..like the GT6 in that body style better than the later but prefer the later Spits. Two are complete bodies and will get upgrade engines..the other three are runners... Quote
