The photo of the memorial was nice work.:thumbsup:

The SAAB graveyard was awesome, NCoM - some cool stuff there...:thumbsup:

That blue Rallye SAAB looks like it could be from the 2 stroke variety. I remember as a kid seeing SAABs on the streets with their very distinct sound and trail of blue smoke.

Those are all V-4 4 strokes.
You can tell by the height of the windshield it's a '68.
Last year for the old grill, first year for the V-4.

The Sonnett II is the first bodystyle and had 3-cyls in them exept for the last year or two they put the V-4 in them.
You can tell this one's a V-4 cuzza the big bump in the hood.

Me an my brothers' had SAABs piled tree-top high.

I can't believe that old Jag is just sitting there!

The Fiats' are cool, those are coupe versions of the 124 Spider.

this is a picture of some things in galway, ny. please take note of the things picture and see if you know whats wrong with it.

im sure i can do about 120mph on that "DANGEROUS CURVE"....

Since moving to New York 2 years ago, I have seen plenty of speed limit signs spaced 50 feet apart with 2 different speed limits on them. I will try to find a few to photo.

In my town in Vermont we have a hill with a 30MPH sign on it, then a "reduce speed ahead" sign, then another 30 MPH sign.


Hmmmm.

Nah, thats just in Hardwick.

I dunno about that. I was at Bear Ridge Speedway in Bradford and let me tell you, I saw a very interesting cast of characters there. ;)
And some damn fine dirt racing too!!:thumbsup:

That was last week in Philly, Lum. Two people were killed when a Dukw Boat in the Delaware River was hit by a barge...

i sorry it is pictures

Saw this today about a mile from my house.
http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg175/zeb41/2010/000_1346.jpg

God, that's a un-sane looking engine in that 3-window Ron.
Could you tell what it was? Big block Chevy maybe???

Ya know Dave, I meant to take a shot just of the engine so you guys could have a look at it. I know some of them, but there are a lot that I just don't know. I didn't recognize this one. It's big. That's all I can say. Anyhow, I meant to take a shot of the engine, but I was already trespassing and my camera was falling apart (on account of because I used it to test the gravity over my driveway), so the second shot I took looked just like the first one. Duh! I'll have to watch and see if this car shows up again. I think it will because it was parked in the lot of a factory near my house. Whoever drives it probably works there. I'll be on the lookout for it now so I can get a pic of that mill for ya.

went driving in june with my son in the car just to find some cool stuff to take pictures of and well....the weeds are burying everything here in north carolina, so i only have 2 pics to share
this car has not moved in the 12 years since i first saw it parked under this shed
http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee115/cih1979/HPIM3153.jpg
and this milk truck was just well loved
http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee115/cih1979/HPIM3156.jpg
well why not i have an update on a past On the Side of the Road pic i shared
http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee115/cih1979/twin57s.jpg
these cars are GONE, i think the old man who owned them passed away so i am guessing either the family took them or sold them as far as i knew they both were running because they were constantly being moved to different parts of his yard

That 2 dr. hdtp '57 will sell in 2 seconds or less.
That old guy musta got bugged daily to sell that one.

A little PIP action!

UPDATE:
went by the field where this one was parked, and alas......it was gone..:drunk::(
HOWEVER, it was not sold, merely moved into the owners shop where it is undergoing a complete makeover. all bodywork repaired and the Flathead V8 re-installed. apparently the seats, which were original,
were covered in a canvas type seat cover, that when removed, were in excellent shape. the owner informed me IT WILL BE READY for the
Fourth of July Parade. Stay Tuned, I'll post pictures of it when it is completed.

:thumbsup:

Any update on this ?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/CJTORINO/100_4231.jpg

It's past the 4th of July and I would love to see the restored truck :thumbsup: Please let us know.

Scott

Yes. but sadly, its not a happy update.
oh, it showed up at the parade on the Fourth of July.
On A Trailer.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v67/CJTORINO/100_4660.jpg



The owner told his son to just paint it quick.
and he did. unfortunately, the old man forgot to tell
the kid to pull all the dents out first....:drunk:

Thanks for the update. It's sad that the truck wasn't restored like it should be. Hopefully they will decide to sell it to someone who will restore it correctly.

Scott

Sadly that's what some people call "restored".
I call that yet another layer of crud to remove.

Pathetic. What a joke.

Thanks for the update though. Now we know! :) :wave:

They painted it for a place to put their business logo?
And actually had the you-now-what to display it in a parade???!!!
I know I'm a dick for wishing this, but I sorta hope it looses them business.
It wouldn't make me think they are a quality establishment worthy of my dollar.

Ok, I'll shut up now.

You know Lum, it ain't healthy to bottle up your feelings like that.

Tell us how you really feel.

That is sad. It looked so much better with the patina. Hopefully it still has a restoration in it's future...just with one extra coat of paint to strip off.
