Default Greetings...

Hello to all.
Avid auto enthusiast here. Wife is interested in getting an XKR...
I've owned British cars since I was 15 years old. Still have the gorgeous MG TD that I learned to drive in. Have had a couple of Lotus, and a wide variety of American, German and a few Japanese cars as well... I write a fairly popular automotive blog and am in the midst of building a garage/car barn (complete with pinball arcade and pub) to be featured in a well known vintage racing magazine.

We are involved in vintage racing, participating in a few events a year. Not much interested in single-marque car clubs, as they tend to be populated by single-minded people...

Our current stable consists of:
  • MG TD, 100% restored by my wife & me. Gorgeous original...
  • MGB, chrome bumper, Oselli Stage II 1950 engine, RV8 front susp, overdrive, etc...
  • Triumph Spitfire Mk 1, race car
  • Triumph Spitfire Mk II, under restoration to street car
  • Triumph GT6 Mk III, race car
  • Beach Mk5-C Formula V
  • Chevy Silverado 2500HD LT 4X4 C/C D/A
  • Mercedes Benz E550 Coupe
Plus a couple motorcycles / scooters.

Three car trailers.

Vintage 1966 Streamline travel trailer under restoration...
