A dyed in the wool sports car.
 
With electrical gremlins to boot. Nice, clean, fun car.

Also nice is the weather we're having. Where did you get your white gauge faces? I like 'em.

David_TT225QC 12-12-2002 04:46 PM

Not my gauges....
 
That's Stan (TTLation)'s car. Currently being exchanged for a Boxster S.

The one in your pic poster?

Ah....My very first of 49 cars......>>>
 
Not a twin cam, but a plain old 1500 1957 version bought from a junkyard when I was 16 for $125. In high school, 3 of us had them...It was a riot on cold winter days in Philadelphia. We all used to get the cranks out to start them. Those twin 6 volt batteries behind the seat twarnt much good in the winter. Lots of good memories there. The only car my wife never knew.....

Steve, you've had 48 cars in the time you've known your wife?
 
Amazing and cool...she must be a real trooper!

LOL....Train em early, train em right........>>>
 
Managed to sneak in about 30 motorcycles during that time too......!!

(and about 25 Honda company cars......)

Yes. Several of those pics are of Stan's car including the white cluster.

Sports cars in Philly....
 
My dad grew up in South Philly and terrorized the streets with his Healy 100-4 in the late 50's/early 60's. He unblocked 1st gear and through burnouts and learning how to execute proper 4-wheel drifts on cobble streets also became a master spokes replacer.

Managed a ride in a brand new one in 1955, never managed to drive one always wanted one.
