I'll play...

'72 914 2.0
'72 911S
'66 Shelby GT 350 (hopefully sold)
'52 MGTD
'66 912 (in pieces)
'74 XJ12L (Chevy 383 conversion)
'92 Isuzu Rodeo (Daily driver)
'00 Yeti ASR mountain bike

Fun toys, but my 56 year old Mom can out run them all in her Audi TT - VERY fun toy.

I really want to buy one of the 250 GT California kit cars built by Precision Design. It is the car featured in Ferris Beuler's Day Off - very cool - or maybe a 550 Spyder kit. They also look like they would be really fun to build. Closest I'll ever be to owning a "new" car!

As you can tell, I have a fondness for small, lightweight fun-to-drive two seaters.

Curvie Roadlover 06-28-2000 07:01 PM

Daily drive is a 2000 Montero Sport. Got my '76 914 back in December after selling my '97 Honda 125 shifter kart. Bought the Porsche for the kart money plus $200. Pretty sweet deal, eh? The 'teener handles alot like the kart but is obviously more practical. I had to tow the kart on a trailer for 3 hours and then pay entry fees to drive short stints on a track.

Short but sweet...
73 914 2.0
70 911E Targa
00 Jeep Grand Cherokee (wife's ride mostly)
Two project cars are more than plenty for now, but hoping for a new daily ride and maybe a new-old project as well in 2001...either a 914/6 or a 72-73 911RS clone are tops on the project list.

on a side note: i hit a deer with my truck about 8 months ago causing a good sized dent in my bumper, broken grill and a busted light. Its funny cause I'm finding it so hard to bite the bullet and spend a couple hundred to get that fixed, but I'll drop a grand on my 2.0 w/o hesitation. I'm pretty sure my truck is jealous http://www.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/frown.gif

I'm feeling rather deprived after reading these posts! But I don't have the room to park more than two cars at a time, so I guess it all works out.

1975 Porsche 914, 2.0, Ancona Metallic, stock, but with SS exhaust, Crane XR700 ignition and no smog equipment currently installed; runs great, handles like a slot car. Driven daily.

1987 VW Westfalia camper, recently acquired, stock, new engine, does NOT handle like a slot car, but is very practical and versatile.

1982 VW Adventurewagen camper, soon to be for sale, modified Mark Stephens 2.1L engine, also does NOT handle like a slot car, but has been to Alaska and back. Not the fastest ride in the world, though, but unique. Powered by momentum, even with the hi-perf motor. (Hi perf is a relative term with VW campers)
