Been too busy to get the cars out much lately, but here's a few photos I've posted before...
1986 XJ6...my current daily driver...
And the toys...
1978 MGB...customized and backdated to circa 1969. Was my daily driver back in the day...
1964 356C...the perfect example of the saying, ”it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow"

Favorite Cars, Trucks, and Motorcycles . . .
. . . is up and running! When it comes to cars, everyone has his favorite. There are Porsche, Lotus, Lamborghini, and Volvo fans here, to name a few. Me? I'm a Mopar guy. Dodge 'n Plymouth musclecars - the stuff my dreams are made of. And these days, my d...
Seb posted his recently acquired dream car in . . .
. . . the introductory thread. His photos are posted here . . . . . . as he was unaware of the thread to post in. ...
Same goes for Timeout who posted his . . .
. . . Honda motorcycle . . . . . . in the same thread. Judges: please consider Seb's and Timeout's contributions posted here as though they had posted them themselves. ...

Cars, watch, have a great weekend, all

I should add…
(for those who might not be aware and might find of interest) while all 3 cars are rightly noted for their exotic curves, the race cars won Le Mans in their day and are closely associated with Steve McQueen, who owed the Jag and famously raced the Porsche...
It was a toss-up between her . . .
. . . and Sophia. Jayne was out of the running . . . long on curves, yes, but short on class, which the Doozy and Jag also have in spades. 😉 ...
Hello Stoikos!! Wonderful dream cars you share…
… and a winner shot of your Gold Daytona at the helm of your Porsche. Great shot!! Hagwe! Abel
That Duesenberg is simply epic!
And one I wasn’t aware of - great car from any angle 👏🏻👌🏻
This could be the WristScan version of ….
Top Trumps … cool theme Art ! 80’s icon, the brutal Lamborghini Countach LP500 QV … ...
Great shot of your Navitimer dear Captain!!
The devilish red Countach makes for a wonderful background. That’s a true dream machine! Have a nice weekend my friend!! Best Abel
You are welcome dear Captain. Agree with you, an awesome car! Yes, we are having a relaxed weekend at home. Always find some work to do here.
I wish you are enjoying too! Best, Abel
Saw a purple Miura on the 118 Freeway a few years ago . . .
. . . and thanks to the miracle of Google, this . . . . . . is the one and same. Came close to a case of whiplash, too. ...
Airporter with Watches
The "Airporter" is what was used by hotels and tourist resorts to move guests around, BEFORE the advent of the rental car bus / coach. They have 3-4 doors or more on each side, and usually are station wagons (for luggage) and are not limousines. I have al...
Hell, the driveshaft has gotta be longer . . .
. . . than the average naval gun. To each his own, I guess ;-) . . . ...
Interesting post dear Mike!
They are part of a long gone era of travels I guess. But what wonderful sight they make still today. I like the watches you choose for each of them. Well played!! Hagwe! Abel
Simply fantastic!
Wasn’t there a Checker Airporter as well, whatever that was called? 😊 Some great choices but I have to say that the VH definitely has to have me prefer the last combination 👌🏻👏🏻
Yes, indeed many Checker Airporters (Aerobus) shown inside
Not my picture though. Love it! Cazalea ...
Watches , cars and bikes are definitely something i like 🤗
The Scania was a project we did 20 years ago Our latest project a RR SS Lwb Mercedes F1 in a shopping street. During the Dutch F1 race My father’s Macan Amazing cruiser Drooling infront of a store A dream car. I hope to add one day 🙏🏻 elegant beauty RR is...
Ah, the pair of Amidas! 😊
The combinations and vehicles are epic but that Scania is simply next level! Do you still drive it?
Great post
My dream car is something time has been erasing - bringing fine examples to rust and dust. It is so costly to maintain a vintage car. Here it is, the old W123 model. Mercedes W123. Credit: Livecarmodel But why? It’s not the fastest, most lux, or state-of-...
Your neighbor reminds me of Uncle Steve . . .
. . . who was the consummate family man and took care of his cars as though they were almost as precious as his children. He was an auto upholsterer by trade - one of his jobs won the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in the early '80s. He owned a black su...
That's a chopped 'n dropped '50 Mercury . . .
. . . while Uncle Steve's was factory original, more like . . . . . . this. ...
Love this car! I imagine Uncle Steve enjoyed driving it so much. Did you get to drive this car Art?
My dad owned a 1947 Chevrolet Fleetline in the 1950's. I was just a kind but I enjoyed when my dad kept me seated on his legs and let me drive the wheel of that big car while ... he managed the pedals and changed gears. This is something unthinkable to ma...
Uncle Steve bought the classic Merc from the widow of the original owner . . .
. . . back in the '80s. He had to chase down a few trim parts that were damaged or missing, but it was entirely stock otherwise. Car guys would go nuts over it. There were about two hundred '50 Mercs sold with dealer-installed Paxton blowers, and they had...
My father owned a w123 back in the days .
He has learned me how to drive a car in this MB . I will never forget that car ever .
Wow, you were so lucky to have driven that car
I have never driven the W123. One day I hope I will. The steering wheel and seats look so classic.
W123
In 1982 my grandfather acquired a 230E W123 … i still regret the day i let it go 😪. As a young kid i loved to sit in the rear, later on in the front and at the age of 15 my grandfather let it drive me from time to time. When i turned 18 he bought me a bra...
It looks like a dream
The aesthetic of this car is so elegant, sleek and well proportioned. That is one beautiful stunning car, back then, and even more so today. I hope you will find a great example one day. I am keeping my eyes out for a day when I find one in a great condit...
If you ever ..
… find this metalloc green one equipped with: Electric Sunroof Headlight wipers Green interior 4 speed manual Front seats with nets at the back Headrests on the rear seat. Give me a call first … still remember the exact spec of my granddads .. 😔
4-on-the-floor? . . .
. . . no contemporary American sedan offered that essential luxury ;-) . . .
I think most had a 5 speed manual …
Adding 5th was an option those days 😁. Some automatic transmission as well, 3 speed i believe … not sure.
Ok sure
If i come across one yes I will instantly contact u, or Nico if i cannot reach u here.
W123 I have rocky memories of that car ...
For awhile I was working down in this neighborhood and drove past this poor car every day. Effective advertising perhaps, but painful no matter how often I saw it. We published information used by body shops to repair cars, and at that time our company's ...
Dear Dr, amazing cars you’ve shown. Genuine USA.
Talking with my friends I’ve expressed many times my love for the classic american models. Now, if I have to choose my all time favorite car... Mercedes 500 SL 80’s. It would be perfect with other classic. Great weekend. ...
The ultimate . . .
. . . Pagoda. I recall poring over the '68 MB catalog when Dad was contemplating buying a car that year. The 280SL captured my imagination. Radial tires were standard equipment - radical then. "Dad, let's get this one!" "Sorry, kid, it seats only two. We ...
I love vintage cars!
Only problem is, I don't have one! But here are some I've spotted around town recently: Morris Minor Austin Mini Vintage IWC with die cast Triumph Spitfire Mk IV ...
Loads of vintage cars in So Cal . . .
. . . but rarely have an opportunity for picture-taking. As luck would have it the owner of this Mustang . . . . . . was getting into his car so I had a golden opportunity to take a few. And yes, his name is James Dean. 😉 ...
What a name! Nice find.
I love mustangs! And that looks like a beautiful example from the sixties.
Saw a 300SL in LA recently . . .
. . . and found my eyeballs on the floor of my Civic only after a thorough search.
Hello dear Art! What a cool post to open the WS session for this weekend! An interesting theme which will bring so many wonderful entries I feel.
You share an array of cars I remember so much which also filled my dreams when I was young. Most of those cars I could only admire through photographs in magazines and in films as very few of them arrived to my land. In my case I have two categories of ca...
Fabulous choices Abel …
The DB5 with your Rolex 5508 is the perfect combination ! Your Jaguar S-Type in British Racing Green looks good and was in my opinion the last of cars with Jaguar signature styling. As for your Mustang, it’s a classic dream for any collector. Have a great...
Thank you so much dear Captain for your kind comments about my post. Agree with you about the S Type. I always said that it was the last Jaguar with the shape of a Jaguar! Lol!
It´s a modest family car but with a smooth and comfortable ride and a big engine (V-8, 4 Liter, 280 bhp) which I enjoy driving on week ends only. Thank you again my dear friend and enjoy a beautiful weekend! Best, Abel
Thank you so much Ruffian for your kind compliments!
We love this car too as it was a project which took several years to finish it and was shared with my son who worked very hard sourcing parts, taking the engine to a workshop to rebuild it and the body to another to fix it, painting, etc. The finished car...
Two cars in the collection. One built over a couple months in the back yard.
The other took several years to build by a professional builder as a show car. ...
Owned three GTI's - great drivers . . .
. . . but got out of them before they hit 100K miles. Been a Honda Civic guy ever since. Racked up several hundred thousand miles on one . . . . . . a few years ago, and it's still running. I keep looking at GTI's, though . . . a fourth isn't out of the q...

I recall seeing a few on So Cal freeways in the '70s . . .
. . . but none in the last thirty years or so. My cousin owns a '79 308 GTS, which might be the closest relation. Art
Mainly my MX5 - but options for when I win the lottery
Hi Well I liked my MX5 so much, I bought a second of the same version. But if we're talking unlimited money I'd rather like a Bristol, rather undersated idiosyncratic cars. A late model 411 would be good - with perhaps a bit of modernisation. Or perhaps l...
Bristol, TVR, Morgan - all rare sights . . .
. . . on So Cal roadways. Spotted a Morgan or two, but not the others, at least not recently. Art
Three from me!
