Modern Vespa

if load matters ML350


if speed matters TT2.0 TFSI

First car was a '68 MG Midget (black/red interior, wire wheels) Loved that car.

Current daily driver: 2000 Audi TT Quattro coupe (aviator gray, modded a bit 8) )

1982 Porsche 911SC

1970 Chevrolet Short Bed


2006 Pontiac GTO

there are some real nice cages here in this thread - just ignore my previous Wrangler post...

damn that car is hot!

I used to own this beast... a 1969 Nissan Patrol. Only 2600 of them were ever imported to the US, and there are probably less than 500 left. Super rare, but so ugly that nobody cares about them.

Really built for third-world environments with no roads. There was even a supplied attachment with which you could hand-crank the engine if your battery went flat out in the bush.

I like the filtered recirculating air system (vents with mesh, under the windshield!)

Don't forget the ones on the side, just in front of the doors.

I drove an 86 Alfa Spider from 1989-1998. I regret selling it.

Looks in the same spirit of my old Rover... you don't need and 8 litre engine for that sort of thing to be badass 8)

I have a 1965 Ford Thunderbird, named Curtis Mayfield.

Wow! Lotsa Vespa Owners have the same tastes as me!

Love (both of) the Lotus

Any chance to post a pic of my baby is always welcome............
66 F250 camper special with an ASSLOAD of work done to it......Bought it from a church in Santa Maria originally for about $1500.00
I have a little bit more in it now.................................


Daily driver as reliable as anything.

Big block 352 that gets better mileage than a Ford Escape...HA!

My Weekend Ride

Ah A Holden Monaro rebadged:

Thanks for sharing the photo

Those things paid me heaps for doing nothing - good on ya for buying a south aussie a (heavily subsidised) job!

Land Rover, thats what Johnny drove.

I used to have a 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC. Black tinted windows, all leather interior, premium sound system, roomy back seat, automatic air shocks that raised or lowered the ride height depending on speed. I loved that car until the engine started having weird problems and the air shocks failed. Oh, and the day the entire electrical system died.

One thing I don't miss about driving cars, I was going through my Photobucket and found this old photo:

'54 Bel Air...Original 235 inline 6, 6 volt electrical system, tube AM radio, Fenton split manifold that feeds 2 glasspack mufflers.



Now you know why I had to get whitewalls for the Vespa!

I saw that car at the Cal State Hayward car meet/show recently..
Is that the same mini that was there?

'74 Carrera

'96 miata

'88 Toyota Truck 4x4

You need some extra mirrors to go with those mod lights!

the car was set-up as a tarmac rally car by previuos owner, need those lights when driving some canyon roads at night....

I had Renaults for a number of years, R8, R10, and R15. Don't ask me why. It certainly wasn't because of their reliability (which they weren't) or the abundance of parts (which wasn't there).

Now, I have a Toyota minivan and Honda Civic.

Indeed. See my sig for details.

2000 Isuzu Trooper (Not terribly exotic, but it's an orphan now, so somewhat unusual.) It replaced my 1987 Trooper II.

BTW, my very first car was a red and white Hillman Super Minx Station Wagon that my parents brought back from a trip to Europe in 1963. You can bet there were not many of those in the US!

1988 Audi 90 sedan. I removed the gas engine and installed a 1.6 diesel from a VW Golf. I can get about 55mpg (I used to get 32 with the gas burner). I run it on biodiesel. Carbon neutrality and heated seats!

This has been very interesting, and predictable, I thought.
I've owned several Volvos and Saabs and two Triumph spitfires as well.
I'm currently building a copy of a Lotus 7. I have pictures at [url]www.Texaslocost.com[/url] there is a link to my Vespa site as well and pictures of several rides I've taken on the scooter lately.

For a brief period, I owned a BMW 1600. When purchased it from my father, it was sinking into the ground. When I sold it, it had sunk and we had to dig it out.

Here's my stable.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

+1 I agree. I want our next project to be an older car. I have no idea where we'd put it, we are running out of room.

Squonk..did you redo it yourself?

Here's mine...

2008 VW EOS Hardtop Convertible..the best of both worlds. I'll get the man to post his next..we are a VW and Vespa family.

Mine may not be unique but I haven't sen any others like it, love the colour that's what first attracted me to it

Got me a decked out 07 Mini Cooper S yet I still can't pay for the gas.....(60 dollar fill up)

Holy fuck....

Aint nothing quite like a Mopar.....Loving the Dodge Dart Swinger.

We had one like the white one when I was a kid....65 Coronet?
My mom would accidentally break the rear end loose all the time & be so embarrassed.

here's my other vehicle - a 2008 Pashley Tube Rider
