Phil: That is one impressive list!
Numbers J: I love that Gremlin! My aunt had a lavender one with the Levi's interior. In Florida, you would come back from the beach and burn your leg on the sun-heated rivets n the denim seats. Quite a car.
Vraned: A V-8 Datsun 510? Surely you're joking! You must post pics.
As for me, I haven't had too much interesting iron. The highlights include:
Cars:
1978 MBZ 450SL - Too cheap to pass up, but I should have. Learned to hate that car.
1985 Saab 900 3-Door Turbo
1983 Jeep CJ-7 - Had it in college. Great fun.
1976 Bronco - Orange, lifted with soft top and doors, five point harnesses, etc.
1985 Jaguar XJ6 - Nice car, but its double row timing chain broke. Not a good thing.
Bikes:
1985 Honda NS400R - V-3 two-stroke grand prix rep.
Yamaha RD 400s (3) - I have a thing for two-strokes.
1986 Yamaha SRX-6 - Nice, light street single sportbike.
1978 Yamaha SR500 cafe racer - Yep, all four-stroke singles and two-strokes. It's a little weird.
1986 Suzuki GSXR1100 - Old school compared to today's bikes, but no slouch.
I should have kept some of those, but money seems to loom when you're younger.
Currently:
1999 Miata - daily driver and great car
1972 3.0 CS - No need to preach to the choir
1984 3.2 Carrera - A great car by any measure, but I hardly ever drive it so I'm thinking of selling.
Cheers,
Eric L.
