Guess what - I just found a picture of my BSA in it's final form before I sold it :( . Taken in front of the Vulcan Bomber at East Fortune...
Here's some photos from my misspent youth (back in the early '90s). They show my first motorcycle, a 1964 Royal Enfield Continental 250GT that I...
At Last! An opportunity to ask about this! It is sitting down the track from where I used to live. The chap who owned it got it vaguely seaworthy...
I seem to be in danger of becoming an old light collector. A bit like an anti-moth, they seem to be drawn to me. The first two photos are of a...
Now that's what I call value for money!
This looks fantastic. It's not the one that I was talking about in the Gasoline Magazine Instagram post, but it looks more like it had cost $1000...
This looks like the one in the Instagram post. It had wire wheels back. Then. Thanks for posting, it looks even better from the front!
I spotted a recent 'historic' post on Instagram by Gasoline Magazine referring to the 'iconic' $1000 buck roadster they featured a few years ago....
Sorry about the ad you have to sit through, I suggest go an have a cup of tea/coffee/something stronger until the interesting stuff starts;)
This just popped up on my 'real-life' news thread and, whilst it's not exactly hot rod related, I thought I'd share and ask if anyone else has...
Those look familiar...:)
...and hello from Argyll and Bute, Scotland :)
I don't know much about this other than it's a 1/25ish scale vague copy of 'Silouhette'. I've had it about 25+ years. I had a friend who worked in...
If I haven't been banned from veering dangerously O.T, this should do it. Various stuff rom the bottom of the 'treasure' chest! Corgi Bluebird...
A couple of Oddballs A blatant rip-off from Hongkong![ATTACH] and a 'Hotrod' from Matchbox.[ATTACH]
I note some interest in breakdown trucks (wreckers), so here's a couple from my youth. A Corgi Holmes Wrecker.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] ....and (I...
The last of my Corgi Dragsters, the Santa Pod Glow Worm. This was (allegedly) the UK's first 'proper' funny car. [ATTACH]
Next up, Corgi's Commuter Dragster.[ATTACH]
I was inspired by this thread to dig out some of my old diecasts from when I was a kid. They're nearly all British (Corgi, Matchbox and Budgie) so...
Here's a couple of pictures of an old model I built about thirty years ago. I found it when I was digging out some stuff for the diecast Tuesday...
I lost track of this thread as the e-mail notifications stopped and I didn't want to look in case the project had come to a halt. I should have...
Hi there. Are there any plans for a 2017 HAMB/Jalopy Journal Calendar?
It would need a hood top where we live!
Actually, the only thing I'd like to change would be to it's location. Japan to Scotland :)
Ahh, there you are! How's it going? The issue of fender/fenderless is still the subject of domestic negotiations! ;)
It really is a cool truck. Thanks for the information.
The two things I'd change would be the fenders and the headers. As much as I like the engine, perversely, I'd cover it with a full hood and tuck...
Not exactly 'history', but I saw some footage the other day on Youtube, shot in 2013, of a 1934 Ford Pickup powered by an Olds' Golden Rocket J2...
Hand cranking is a valuable life skill!
