Miscellany: The cars of X-Marks
Hi all,
It's not uncommon here to read a post about somebody attending a car show or working on a car, kilted or otherwise. Some members have car pics for avatars, too. It's plain there are motorheads and hobbyists around here, so I thought I'd raise the topic.
Post a pic or two of your project, vintage, antique, racing or special interest car(s). I'm not into motorcycles but they're welcome too, under the same rules.
Here's mine; whats in your garage?
That's "Susannah" (red) and "Tigger" improving the look of our front yard. We've had the Mini since 2000 but just got the MGA Mk II in March. Neither is a show car but both are reliable drivers and in good-to-very good condition. Both could be in daily use if they had to be.
The A needs some small things fixed but nothing essential. Surprisingly, at 6' 3", I fit better in the Mini than in the A, (but some of that will be cured with a smaller diameter steering wheel.)
Drive on!

Have only owned Fords - all my life. Driven other companies rental cars and company cars, but always spent my own money on Fords. Had an F150 pick up - perfect for the rezlands - but when my mama got too sick to get her up into it for trips to the docs and hospital bought this Escape. Has an off road suspension package on it so its a dream on the rough dirt roads out on the rezlands.

Here is my 1968 Karmann Ghia convertible. I have been working with my mechanic to get this in shape as a daily driver since I bought it last May.

This is my new toy car. A 2012 Mini Cooper Coupe S. The license plate reads "KILT GUY". I picked the car up from the dealer wearing this kilt. I hope they did not noticed the Cadillac kilt pin! All the other cars I have owned were GM products. I still have the 2003 GMC Safari van that the Mini Cooper replaces as the daily driver. Keeping the van for when I need that capacity. The van is becoming the project vehicle as at 140,000 miles a few items need fixed. Overall however it has held up very well.

Wow, those are really hard to find in my area. Either all restored for a big buck or so rusty you can walk through it.
