Dream machines and scrap heaps! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

11-14-2004, 06:48 AM

Got a favorite? Wish you had one, used to have one, have seen one, are saving for one, etc, etc.

Post a pic or a link here. From Hot Wheels to Monster Trucks. Custom Paint to nuthin but rust. One wheel to eighteen.

Show us, share it!

Oh yeah, it's recovery related too. Clearer mind allows us to enjoy it more, and the money not spend otherwise allows us to participate. So there.

To start: 2005 Mustang GT-R, resembles the 70's Boss cars...

{Edit: The pic that was here looked much better than a red X}

I'm really into Chevys, but this 53 Ford's got my number...

Time2Surrender · 11-14-2004, 07:14 AM

Ah yes! And he puts a Ford in there! I knew I liked you Doug.And yes those Retro Stangs are way cool.Here is a New Shelby

11-14-2004, 07:21 AM

I watched the "building of" that Concept Cobra on TLC a while back. Pretty impressive.

Be interesting to see if it comes in some production form.

And here's Tim Allens '56 Ford monster PU...

Time2Surrender · 11-14-2004, 07:30 AM

Wow! that is one sweet truck! This is one of my favs.

Time2Surrender · 11-14-2004, 07:38 AM

Ok,This is not the best photo.But,its all I could find right now.This was my last toy.A 73 factory high-boy riding on 35's with a built 390.Unfortunately,before I got to really do much to it some old man ran a red light and it was totaled.So,I now looking for another one.

Time2Surrender · 11-14-2004, 07:40 AM

Does anyone in here remember this magazine?

Dan · 11-14-2004, 08:53 AM

Too much Ford love going on here....

Time2Surrender · 11-14-2004, 09:14 AM

LMAO,Thats very funny Dan

Heres some more Pintos.Check out the Pinto bikehttp://www.bob2000.com/pinto2.htm It does look like this is turning into the Dream Fords site though.Which is ok by me.

Dan · 11-14-2004, 09:26 AM

I like the bike Michael! From the caption under the pic...

The exhaust has already set fire to my leg
once, so a guard has had to be used.

Typical Pinto side effect

My father in law had until very recently a portable sawmill. Made it himself. 2.0 Pinto engine powered the whole thing. He built it in 1980 and used it every year until this past summer. Plugs, wires, oil and filter once a year.
He figures he milled enough lumber with it to build over a thousand A frame houses.
Not bad for a piece of crap!

11-14-2004, 10:40 AM

Ok Dan, it's no Ford. (or a Chevy)

Its Jay Leno's Tankrod!

Dan · 11-14-2004, 10:52 AM

Leno's collection is phenomenal.
I hadn't seen the Tankrod though. Nasty!

You mentioned Hot Wheels earlier Doug...
Any other geriatrics remember these?

Time2Surrender · 11-14-2004, 11:00 AM

I really like that."Recovery is about getting over what sucks" And thats the bottom line.Thanx for that quote Gooch.

Doug · 11-15-2004, 03:18 AM

Gooch I never cared for those old "Mags" either, and I really like the new ones.

I think the new Charger (if they make it) will be based on the Magnum. Without the extra rear storage though, trunk instead.

Doug · 11-15-2004, 02:06 PM

Birel racing karts, Zoom! Zoom!

Thanks to Smoke for the quote. I just borrowed it for my sig.

Time2Surrender · 11-15-2004, 09:52 PM

And some days suck worse than others.

Time2Surrender · 11-16-2004, 08:32 PM

We need some bikes in here too.
