Default RE: Pics of some of one classic I built

2004 Ford focus ZTS. Nothing major but it was new when I got it and it's a good car for a starter driver. I drove a Toyota Levin in Japan for two years, I loved that thing but it's too much to bring back over here.

Default My other "toys" ...

I must admit that cars are my first love. My favorite ones? IF they're fun ... I like 'em! Simple as that.

My daily driver is 2000 Titanium Silver BMW Z3 Mcoupe. When I first saw a picture of one, I sorta winced and said "No thanks!" Well ... I then saw one in person, then I drove one ... and that's all it took. I've now owned this funky lil' bomb for 6 years and it's been a real joy. After all this time, I STILL get quizzical looks that say "WHAT is it?" Only the real car enthusiasts know what an Mcoupe is, since they are quite rare; only 2600 were made between the years 1999 and 2002. My passion with the car has been driving all the west coast road courses, as that's the only legal place to find the Coupe's limits and the perfect domain to do so. Have included some pics for ya ...

My other car is part of the family, purchased in May'72 ... and that's my '57 Chevy Bel Air "Post". The car is a "Show and Go" ... and is a true "Sleeper"! It remains all stock appearing, but has a 408ci small block under the hood that put 432hp to the rear wheels. This equates to approx. 525 to 540 at the motor. With some M/T "ET Streets" for traction at the strip, the car pulls the left front tire 4"to 6" on launch (1.63 secs to 60 feet) and has a best of 11.79 seconds at 114 mph thru the quarter mile. My classic is completely streetable too, driving it 1000 to 1500 miles per year. I will never sell this car as it's a one-of-a-kind. Have included a pic for you ... Check that left front tire!

I really like my '91 ZR750, especially now with its Wiseco 810cc kit! ... but cars are still my main love.

Very, very nice! The BMW does look a little different, but it is a pretty sharp looking car. I know what you mean though, cars are my first love too. Actually, I am picking my firebird up tonight from storage. I can't wait to take it for a rip! I miss driving it. It is stock right now, but that will change in due time Here she is https://www.kawasakiforums.com/photo...Type=6&apage=1
