NEW Bike Collection Morro Bay, California Walking around in downtown Morro Bay I came upon a unmarked storefront. In looking through window I spotted a very large collection of Vintage Motorcycle. The door was open so I ventured in. Several other guys were wondering around and another one was working on a modern Ducati Super Bike in the rear. What I had stumbled onto was part of the collection of an individual who shall remain anonymous. See Gallery

NEW My Porsches: Looking back, I realize I have owned one each of the air cooled Porsche® models except a Pre A 356 and a high bumper 911.   I think I will call it a day with the watercooled Porsche® models. The 928 is just fine and the 924 and variants never had much appeal to me. The 914 - well that was more VW. Now a 993 would be nice, water cooled with all the modern features I missed in my 356/911 models. My Porsches

Morro Bay, California Car Show May 4th to 6th 2007 First big street rod event on Central Coast of California. This was our first year attending this show and over 700 cars were in attendance from all over California. My Gallery of only 40 cars favors the 30s and 40s Fords, but I have a few other cars of interest. Shown on right is a 1951 Ford Woodie Custom done by Tim Mattson Street Rods. Next to it was a '40 Ford Convertible (shown in Gallery) by Tim too. If the name sounds familiar, Tim is ex Oakland Raiders player turned car builder. GALLERY CLICK HERE

Barn Find: This little 1953 Pre A Porsche 356 Coupe was resting in storage since the 1970s in a barn in the Central Valley of California. Owner had started to build an "Outlaw" with different engine and even an automatic. Stored as it was it appears to be virtually rust free and no evidence of collision damage. Only a few body modifications including air intakes for rear engine compartment. What's next, well new owner is not sure, it was given to him by owner for some work exchange. Stay tuned - we will watch its progress over time. 1953 Pre A Coupe

Collecting 1:43 scale models is a recent passion. Although it started with no particular theme except vintage cars from the early days of racing and sports cars in US. Lately I have started collecting a series of LeMans winners or serious contenders. !:43 Scale Models

My Garage Past & Present

---

NEW Surprise guest in my garage. My chance to take a drive in a 1922 Hipano-Suiza was somewhat spoiled by a breakdown in my driveway. While we wait for Passport/FedEx truck to show up for its trip to restorer in San Diego it sits in my garage. All 17 feet of it. For more details check the following link. Hispano .

 

2003 Audi A4 Quattro - New to my garage. Everybody needs a "Daily Driver". Mine has always been Audi smaller models, 90 and now A4. This one sort of found me in California and has been one of the most fun "sports sedans" I have had the pleasure of owner or driving. For more details check the following link. Audi A4 Quattro .

 

1970 Porsche 911T. Although on my WISH list, I bought this Tangerine coupe, but put it on ebay and got such a favorable reaction, sold it. For more details check the following link. Porsche 911T . Still looking, but guess I need a more conservative color like my original Maroon '69T.

 

Check out my Porsche 928 page. This is in my garage. Critic aside, this is a great Grand Touring car and a Porsche bargain on the used car market.

My Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Coupe. This too is in my garage. Pictured is original car on trip from California to Denver. Note yellow California plates. Original car purchased in Denver, latest one in St. Louis.

My 1963 Porsche 356B Coupe + Restoration Photos. Started as vintage race car, ended up fast "driver". Still in my garage.

Ebay purchase with intent to restore. Too much to do so sold it. Now in England and probably restored. 1957 Porsche 356A Coupe .

Check the Street Rod Adventure page. Little Deuce Coupe. This was was built by me with lots of help from Randy Mead. So much different than restoring a car. Rules of rodding - anything goes!

2004 Porsche 911 GT3 SOLD This car was to be offered on ebay for a friend. It SOLD to first potential buyer. Unfortunately this was NOT in my garage. Not enough space :) For more details check the following link. Porsche 911 GT3 .

Check out my Wish List, help me fill my garage with cars.
