My car made the front cover of "Rodders Journal" magazine - a big honor!!!

Runs on 90 - 94% nitromethane at about 2,800 - 3,000 horse power.

Blown Fuel Altereds make some serious noise!!! Firing this up at any car show
will wake anybody up!

Here are some more... I've been VERY lucky over the years. I still have many of these vehicles, but the El Camino, Goggomobil, Charger, and K10 are all with new caretakers now. I have not yet even started with bikes in my collection, or robots or space toys, or art deco, or catalin radios, or clocks, or vintage wristwatches, or Baranger motions... I was incredibly lucky to grow up in So. Cal. with the vintage car culture out here, and very lucky to meet major collectors when I was very young. They influenced me for sure.

Here is my Bianchina and my Suzuki LJ on their way to auction about 8 years ago now. They were both technically micro cars as they were each under 10' long. They were sure fun when I had them.

Here are some of my scooters... I still have the 47 Salsbury, and the Cushman 8.1140 actually has a matching side car. The Powell is gone, unfortunately, as is the DKW... but you can't keep it all.

Was that not enough? Here is my 61 Karmann notchback, my 49 F-1 that I LOVED and should never have sold, my Covair Rampside, another one I should have kept, and my 63 Comet S-22 V8 convertible which I have managed to hold onto for 25 years. Also, the 1951 Lincoln Cosmopolitan I had in 1980. Yes, I'm the dark haired one with the cig. (and yes I quit in my 20s.)
