    Just found this site today and it looks pretty cool! I am the proud owner of a 67 Falcon Longbody. It has a 300/3spd that has been mildly warmed over. I've owned it for about 7-8 years now and had lots of fun with it even though it is in rough shape. It's been off the road since moving to Alabama from Arizona but I will have it back on the road by weeks end after a little carb linkage work and fluid flushing.

    Other cars/boats in the stable:

    90 Jaguar XJS V12 (Daily driver)
    60 Austin Healy BugEye Sprite
    1959 Dorset Catalina

    Look forward to some good reading!

    BTW:

    Any Vintage Vanners in the Huntsville area? Nothing beats having locals to hang with. I'm also looking for a vintage single axle trailer to haul my Sprite with. I think it would be the perfect combo at the next Eurobrit.( A yearly show that my club does for vintage euro cars). I am possibly thinking about converting the trailer for my Catalina boat for this purpose. It has a hydraulic lowering mech to lower the boat. I would have to install a stronger axle to take the load and maybe beef up the rest of the trailer. Anyone have good pics of vintage trailers?

    Thanks, Rob

    My other hobby is Aurora Tjet slot car racing. I shrunk these down from a diecast and then cast them in resin. These are the IROC vans that I run on my 4 lane track. Color coded for each lane.
