That caddy went like stink and smoked like Marlboro!

Pete-

Im planning on a full rebuild...for sure, I cant afford being blamed for the global warming.....
The Caddy is permanent.
Pete-

Mike, anytime you want to come to the East Coast, we have boards ready, and a spot to rest your head.

Usually a car or two to borrow. There are four cars at my house now, and one bike.

Tom and Mike are three minutes away with more cars and both a block from beach!

"During the post-race cleanup, the Oilers crew found several interesting items. Mel was quoted as saying 'we're going to need a bigger lost-and-found box'..."

(Glad to see your Indian is off of life support Mel!)

Killer pics! Where it all started, ...the beach!!!

Wish my Indian front tire was found. I have a true front rim, but a bad sidewall. Bike likes to shake at speeds. Didn't stop me from trying to surf it for the first time on pavement though. It was scary I admit!

PRE-SALE ON NOW!
The Race of Gentlemen: 2014 Wall Calendar via More Than More
More Than More was lucky enough to catch The Race of Gentlemen in Wildwood, NJ this October. Arguably the most photogenic automotive event in the US, this race is invitation only and limited to only pre-war (1920's and 30's) cars and motorcycles. For us, it couldn't be missed. We've compiled some of our best photography from the event into a 13-month wall calendar. Now you can enjoy the race year round in anticipation of next year's event! http://us4.campaign-archive2.com/?u=f629aeb2de8031b4fbe653d78&id=c3189e6746

 

Sweet...so now I can mark the 2014 Race of Gentlemen on my calendar....my Race of Gentlemen Calendar!!! Mind-blowingly Cool.

 

I should already be premarked on there when you get it

 

Got me a great garage calander coming after Turkey day.

Come on up to Canada, eh?

 

not a bad idea Mel!!

 

How many inches were cut out of the '603' coupe? I love the grill too! Killer look, just wanted to be sure of the amount on the chop.

 

My buddies in Sweden ice race. I'm always threatening to go over and race them, mostly my man lover Hakan Erixon. We have a man crush thing you all wouldn't understand. Hahaaa

I gotta go this year, it's been too long!


After a big race, I take some time to get my life back in order. But I'm ready.

Fact is, I'm working on a few behind the scenes things hoping one will land till I can get to the next.

A hint! We Oilers have been talking bout a spegetti dinner R&R dance party for years. I've been calling this defunct army base with no return calls. We are trying to get this off the ground before the holidays as I want to do a Toys For Tots drive. It's been years since I helped and I miss it. If I get this spot, you won't be disappointed.

We are still working on a hill climb spot. We have also been asked to run a regular drag strip. Been keeping it secret, but what the hell. Stay tuned, we will see...

I need action!!!
