There are a few vehiculars in the driveway at present other than winston..
A 2001 Volvo V70R (chipped with a brembo brake upgrade) that I cant find a picture of in my files...
99' anniversary edition Miata that sports a Jackson racing supercharger (with numerous other mods)
a 1986 GLH-Turbo that doesnt have a single original piece on it other than the body and interior.. running around 25psi last time before the big valved head decided it didnt like one of the oversize seats...
Ohh and we cant forget the better halfs 08' Jetta special ordered with the 2.0T and 6spd...

Had 2 GLHS 1 COUPE 1 SEDAN back in the day running a 75 shot and super 60 mopar performance kits. Man those thing would move but you needed to buy head gaskets by the case because the head would lift and spit out the gasket every few weeks.Ended up getting a 1989 caravan es 2.5 turbo (because of insurance) into the high 11s with a spirit r/t engine a 100 shot, big turbo and tons of boost .

If it was lifting gaskets like that, there was something going wrong. ARP head studs and a good MP gasket and we havent liften one yet! Had this thing for a good 15 years. My father had one new in 1986 with all the original DC goodies.. including the rare intercooler. I have a Masi head sitting in the shop too.. should the 8 valver come apart. Have owned 4 of the other local GLH's and a comp prep 91 shadow with the high torque 2.5.. intercooled. That thing was a riot too.

Well, first is my always reliable Prius:
And then of course the car that's on eBay to make room for the new Mini S that's coming to live here instead

Porsche, Vette, Viper, Maserati???.......man you guys have some niiiiceee toys
What else is in my garage besides the Mini? Too much stuff and not enough room
Mine - Road King Custom (FLHRS)
Hers - VStar 1100 (I keep trying to talk her into trading it on a new Triumph Speedmaster,
mostly so I can ride it,but no luck, she loves this bike)
My Pacifica - a glorified stationwagon/minivan/crossover (somebody has to keep Chrysler
in business
)
And my favorite toy "Friends don't let friends ride red tractors"
these all get to sleep inside......my poor old beat up pickup has to suffer out in the cold

Blainestang, thanks, I see you have 2 stangs of your own. I said I would never buy another black car, but when I saw the black with grabber blue stripes, I gave in. Glad I did. Enjoy!

. My wife and I were on vacation about 3 months ago and I rented a GT convertible, I was really impressed with the changes for 2010.

Well, wow...not sure I have enough money to be on this website lol..
Some damn nice cars...
not sure what color Mini will be in the garage, but my garage will at least have another british roommate!
The Mini will be in the garage with the wifes 2010 Mazda 6, my 07 Triumph Speed Triple, and the 2002 Harley Sportster 1200. I sold the Street legal buggy for the down payment on the Mini.
Along with about 10 Nitro and Electric RC cars and the bigscreen TV for watching sports when the wife is home.
