Pictures of Member's Other Cars

Simon's car collection is unbelievable. It's got to be one of the most impressive and extensive collection of DeTomaso's in the world. You've got some other rare and beautiful cars there too Simon. Thanks for sharing those photos. Wow.

Hi ADOBERETREAT, thanks for the nice words.
But there is for sure one or two another DeTomaso Collectors into Germany who have more DeTomaso's than me.
regards
Simon

Which brings me to request that Mr Hudson posts some photos of his amazing cars. I know the collection has been thinned out but there are still some impressive rides tucked away in mid-town Montgomery. How about some sharing Adams?

To entice you, here's a photo of "your" Mangusta.

Mark

ha! Great looking shots Mark. Loving the Mangusta, thanks for keeping it for me! Excuse my huge delay in responding, but just moved into 'new' garage. Dear Lord, why did I EVER keep 8,000 totally unusable parts, obscure tools, and useless lengths of wire, unmatable screws and nuts...

Anyway, stuff is finally 'in place' but much more sorting and work required. My 'new to me' place is about 50 miles from old place, now nearer where we live on Lake Martin.

Here are a couple of poor photos...

And another that better shows the Pantera...

I was thinking the R8 would be a great year round driver up here. Throw some blizzaks on there and let her rip in the snow!!
Great interior in that car too

Saw 2 R8's in Sweden last winter, knee deep in snow.

65 Sunbeam Tiger ...not much to look at yet, but getting there

Looks great Adams...my wife likes the R8 but that has been put on hold since my last purchase (from you). Take care of the Audi and let me know if/when you get tired of that one!

Tell your poor suffering wife I'll trade the FGT for the R8 straight up!

Actually called the Ford dealer today about some new car they're building.

Honestly, the R8 is the finest piece of equipment I've ever owned. No kidding. Fabulous exhaust note appeals to my inner redneck. The thing is screwed together pretty well too.

Thumbs up on the R8 fellas

Not 100% sold on the styling of the R8, but more than 100% sold on the engineering. In regards to mid-engine sports cars, the R8 replaced the NSX in terms of a logical/rational choice. Whatever the Asians had done, the Germans did better.

... and My 86 Saleen cant believe its 28 years old.

1975 Ferrari Dino 308 GT4

Toxic Orange 2010 Viper

Richard, post #1. tell us more about yourself.

Here is something I built from scratch. I actually just got it titled and am able to drive it on country roads:

George, most people are extreme car guys. I think there is a legitimate call for an "Other Car" section. Most people here have interest in a variety of cars and interest. Some interest are not even car related. Just my .02c.

Your pantera looks like its stainless steel... Nice!

Thanks. The paint looks ok from a distance but is in pretty bad shape. Re-
paint is next on the list. Back to original red.

New to me - '72 Jensen Interceptor Mk 111. I'm the 4th owner.

It's "The Gentleman's Express"...

440 Ci with a 727 TorqueFlyte.

7 Cows died to make my Connally interior, with rich Wilton wool-pile carpeting!

It's Shag-o-licious!

Here's a little video to show you what Interceptors are all about...

Hi Chuck, congrats on your new ride.
Simon

YEAH BABY... SPOT ON

Daily Driver 2009 CTS-V. Tuned when new by Geiger in Germany for wealthy first owner from 556 to 650 HP. The cars in Denmark in the morning commute that can outrun this, well I'm still waiting to see one...

I alternate daily drivers between my 2002 XKR convertible (160,000 miles) and my 2010 XKR coupe (which is also the car I take to the track-pulley and tune to about 600hp).

And the 2002...

Pulling the MGB out west has been fun.

That MG is so clean, just a great lookin' lil' car. The chrome bumper cars are so much nicer...

Thanks,

We joke that we got the RV for the dog. We have pulled the motorcycles but prefer to pull the MG so the dog can go along!



The GM 3.4l V6 makes it a great driving car!

My daily driver.

Here's my 1985.5/6 Porsche 944 2.5l NA racer with SCCA ITS prep. First of the series II cars with aluminum control arms and less VW-ish dash. Our VW parts bin Audi 5000 transmission gets the short ROW 5th gear and we run 7x15 Cookies with 225/50R15 Hoosier R7's or Toyo RR's.

We run as Pro44 with Conference / IRDC / SCCA in the Pacific Northwest. We ran as 944 Cup for many years but control our own rule set now under Pro44. Also runs PCA4 and can do Spec 944. 2600lbs with driver and around 150whp... underwhelming acceleration but just enough to stay ahead of the Spec Miata's... But more fun than I've ever had beating down hard on a car

Picture below is preparing to load for last weekend's Portland Rose Cup Races where we ran in the Small Bore group. My tow rig is one of the last Ford E350 Super Duty's built - Feb 2014. From the factory it was sent to Quigley for the Ford warranted 4x4 conversion using the F350 front axle, suspension, brakes and transfer case. Last of Ford vans that can actually pull 7k+ trailers. Lucky for me it sat at the Oregon dealership for a full year until I needed it, and I needed a black one to match trailer and a couple cars I'm slowly doing a Sportsmobile conversion over time including the pop-top camper.

Lyall

And my other Black car, 1982 Porsche 930 Turbo track monster with 1994 3.8 RSR bodywork. 2450lb. with half a tank and 385whp/410wtq twisting the 4-speed with short Andial 8:39 R&P. Lots of mods including double adjustable JRZ shocks, 993 Big red brakes etc. Stops and accelerates real good on 275/40R17 front and 315/35R17 rear Hoosiers. The oLd sKoOl Bosh CIS needs to run rich so I get lots of flames out of the 3" dump pipe off the turbo. GT3 killa that hasn't seen the track since I built the 944 winter 2007. With prices moon shooting (bubbling) the past few years, I'm glad I stored all the original parts. Never selling this one, same for Pantera 6007.

Lyall

My trusty Suzuki Carry. Six hundred cc's of powaa!

Here's some picks of my home made truck moving engines around:

1967 GT 500 I have owned this car for the past 17 years. It had been sitting in a basement garage since 1975 when I located it. The owner had passed away in 75 and the widow just kept it. Took about 4 months to convince her I should be the next caretaker. Did full restoration on it and have been enjoying it ever since.

Dominic

In the Vegas 100+ degree stop and go traffic I am a little short on cooling capacity in the MGB. I had a couple sheets of the Pantera screen left over and it looks good in the lower valance. This is where the oil cooler is going.

hear is my rover mini I imported from England

Wow!! An A110!!

Where is PNR?

Indeed, an A110. Probably the smallest car that I can get into and out of, at least at my current age...
One more pic I found online.


PNR = Airport code for Pointe Noire (city).

Thanks Rgr, that was my suspicion on PNR, we don't see many members from The Congo!

So Rgr, Is that a picture of a car show in the Congo? (It's not what I would expect).

Is that your car? It's very cool.

Rocky

Rocky

Picture is of a car show in the Netherlands (concours d'elegance in Apeldoorn); that is where the A110 and Pantera are. The one in the pictures is mine.

No car shows in the Congo - although the way the taxis drive could qualify for a daily stunt show.

Cheers
Rutger

Might your last name be "Hauer"?

I can see why you might have a hard time fitting in that car. That's very cool.

1973 Ford Falcon

Love the 70s shape of the Falcon. Reminds me of Mad Max, kinda

I hope so. He drove a 73 Ford Falcon XB GT coupe.

My replica GT40.

My other car, daily driver, is a Holden SSV. It is one of the last that will be built here in Australia. Our American cousins will know this also as the Chev SS. It is a sad time here, as Australian made cars come to an end. About a week and a half ago, the final Aussie made Chev SS made its way off the line. There are many enthusiasts in the US who love our cars as much as we do. They are powered by the 6.2 LS3 V8(415bhp) with a 6 speed manual trans, Brembo performance brakes, such a great car to drive. The dedicated and passionate Holden employees from the Elizabeth plant in South Australia have built 12,894 Chev SS.

Alfa

I haven't raced in a while but still have my SCCA GT2 car.

One more photo. Maybe it's time for some vintage racing.

so fun

That's cool, Chris.

I never would have guessed.

A little more work on the grand child's buggy:

BREAKING NEWS! Ya blew it up.

Chevy small block in that 'bug'?

I'm having issues with Dropbox. For now this will have to do?

67 Shelby GT500. The car was kinda' dirty and dull from a 9 hour drive.

That's my younger son Matt. I use him to pick things up, move them, then put them down.

Sometimes I let him drive one of the cars, but he has to fill it up with gas.

The other Shelby is a '68 GT350. 347 small block with 2x4 Holleys, 4 speed and factory a/c.

(no Chevy's in any of them - Contour SVT on the side with a blower on a 3.0L )

I don't think these have appeared on the forum so far: three of Blackpool's finest:

Left - A TVR Cerbera. A 2+2 Coupe. 4.5 litre V8 of TVR's own design and build (flat plane crank, dry sump). Arguably the first 200mph "production" car. Colour - Halcyon Atlantis (flips Blue to Green). Built 2007.

Middle: TVR Sagaris. 2 seat "hatchback"! 4.2 litre straight 6, again to TVR's own design and build. The last TVR model before the factory shut in 2006/2007. This one built 2005.

Right: TVR Tuscan. 2 seat coupe with targa top that stashes in the boot for when the sun shines (seldom in North Yorkshire!). Same engine as the Sagaris. Colour - Sandox Red Rocket (semi translucent over gloss black). Built 2000

I can post more pics if anyone would like but I don't want to clog up space if you are not!

Wild colors Murry! I love TVR's. I still want a Griffith 200. Very cool.

I am very impressed with TVRs, initially because of their astute marketing.....

As an expat Brit I am of course a TVR fan too, the Griffith 500's will soon be 25 years old and I'd like to find and bring one of the rarer LHD ones into the US.

Julian

Remember seeing this clip on Top Gear years ago where the TVR Cerbera totally blew away the Porsche 911 and and a few others, well impressed.

My 1970 Boss 302 just completed a restoration to original condition

... and My 1969 Boss 302 almost complete ...still working on some details

Any kids electric vehicle should have a proper Bomber seat.

Adding lightness to the collection.

Must be go-cart'y fun to drive?

Not sure yet Mikael. Just got delivered and need to get it registered and insured. The suspension of the Elan is quite forgiving so I expect it to be more comfortable than the A-110.
Cheers

Looks great and a nice location, where is PNR?

Not sure where the picture was taken, but given the fact that I purchased the car in Sweden, I would imagine the picture was taken there. Once it's good for the Dutch roads, I will try to get a similar picture made...

You're welcome...

Don't worry, I know the feeling. Plus I don't need glasses, my eyes are just fine. But the print quality just isn't the same it used to be...

-Sami

If the print was important, they would should make it clearer!

Bomber seat for kids buggy coming along well:

Just fantastic work... If I had that seat, I would have to build a car for it. Nice work, really nice...
Suddenly I feel like building a gasser...lol...
