A question to all Pelicans

[Zaz]

Cars; miniature golf; Nietzsche.

[Derek911]

No more bikes for me, but I think an air cooled Porsche is a good replacement for a bike fix. You just swap the gas smell for oil smell.

This is some funny stuff .... I have 2 young kids so I barely have time even for wrenching these days. I enjoy doing adrenaline sports such as skateboarding(duh), snowboarding and wake boarding ... Cruising the canyons in the 911 fills a bit that I can't get on my boards.

I love guns too.....but certainly don't have the time to really use them that much. They are more for home defense than sport.

Is ^^^^ an imperative sentence?!?!

[drauz]

More like a death sentence, or 5-20 w/ no chance of parole.

For me the car rebuild thing is fairly new. I'm into new BMW's, building things with wood, mountain biking, and downhill skiing. Life is too good to waste on blow or skanks.

[gomezoneill]

Turned out to be an entertaining thread. Some funny stuff.

[stevej37]

Just cars mostly here...but thinking of getting back into motorcycles. Being 62, I don't want to wait much longer.

[Jp-oh]

Cars of all sorts. Inboard tow boats.

I would appreciate any feed back from fellow pelicans

In addition to the above, I hear that guys interested in cars also spend a lot of time looking a naughty pics and vids . . . or maybe that's just the Turbo guys?!?!?!

My missus has a theory that has yet to be disproven. She states that in general, men have two out of three of the following interests a) cars, b) sport, c) music.

I'm into old cars and old vinyl.

I grew up building American muscle pro street cars, than switched to P-cars in my 30's. My other interest is MMA, specifically Brazilian Jui jitsu. I find myself training 4 x per week and playing with the car once a month. When it breaks (like now) it may sit for 3 or 4 months until I get to it. I have zero patience for having to call a tow truck after a 2 mile drive to the store, then spend hundreds of dollars, time/energy on getting it fixed, only to drive it a few times a month. That said, I think I'll always have some kind of hotrod in my life....probably this one. Im not a quitter.

I have been interested in motorcycles since I was 14. and this august I will be celebrating my 68. I have owned approx 125 motorcycles and 90 cars of which ten of them are Porsches; and probably 50 English cars such as, Morgans, Lotus Super Seven, Sunbeam Tiger, E Type and the list.

Most of the motorcycles I have owned I have built from scratch and are known as STREET TRACKERS. I have also owned a few rare bikes such as a Honda RC30, a Suzuki RG500 and many more.

I have always had a interest in fire arms I shoot sporting clays, Trap and Skeet. I enjoy fine shotguns but I am not a avid hunter

When I graduated from college in 1972 I started hang gliding and enjoyed it for aprox 10 years when I stopped at the request of my family but i do miss it.

The one thing that I have always had an interest in are Porsches and I think one of the best things have received from my involment with Porsches art the great friends I have made and I am including the Pelicans. There is no such thing as a stranger; it just a friend I have not made.

I have owned a 86 Heritage Softail for about 15 Years but don't ride it much now as the C3 gets most of my fun time! Never did the hooker thing but was certainly around a bunch of blow when I worked with bands when I lived in LA about 40'years ago. The highlight of that period in my life was rewiring Ike Turners Bolic Sound recording studio in Inglewood! I read somewhere recently that he had claimed he spent $11,000,000 on the stuff!
Probably should have had a Porsche habit instead!
Cheers
Bill

[M.D. Holloway]

yup, sounds about right...

[si Banker]

I qui riding because I had the feeling that there was another accident out there with my name on it. I have been in two accidents and if you are on a bike you will loose. AT 67 years old it takes longer to heal. If you are from San Diego did you ever ride MT Palamor?

it's not too bad, i'm never really inconvenienced.
like Bob i see something cool (mainly older, service or vintage rifles in my case) and nab it so long as i don't have an outstanding bill on the porsche
planes are too expensive and no interest in bikes though a few of my friends are temporary citizens.
Have picked up archery recently, as well as a brace of bmw projects..

This is an older pic of my collection, you can add some MK1's MK2's and 3's to the collection, more water cooled than I wanted but the VW's are pretty cool cars, Now I am starting on Audi's You get the German theme? except for the British SE5a, lol
