2013 and up Mini Coopers (All) - What is your experience with them?
I was having a discussion with someone about my experience with (roughly) 2013 and up Mini Coopers.
Buick driving, Buick Drive-In, always work to do on the Buick but it gives positive responses. (July 2017)
We easily fit 3 people across in the front bench at the Drive-In, with over a foot to spare between us and no one felt cramped. Comfortable for the occasion.
Really? Is the new stylistic cues in automotive design to put as many contradicting and random, lines, cuts, shapes and angles as possible? And then adding cheap plastic?
I’m sorry, but this is getting ridiculous.
Buick ('72 Electra 4 DR HT) got the ca-chunk-a-chunk going. The noise!
There’s been a few audible changes with my 1972 Buick Electra “Carmen”.
Porsches in Oakville. 2017 C&C, with great spectator cars!
This years Porsche-only Cars and Coffee brought in quite a crowd. The parking lot only fits about 65-70 show cars, so more Porsches poured onto the street. Doing a quick count, there were about 110-120 publicly-owned (owned by real people, not the dealership) Porsches there today, about 25-30 of which were pre-1989…
Buick is out... Hit a mileage milestone and keeps pulling strong.
‘72 Buick Electra came out of storage a week and a half ago. It sat in the same spot, completely untouched and covered (protected, stored) for 5.5 months. Plugged the battery back in, pumped the gas, started on the second crank fairly easily. Now it’s just hit 100,000 miles and is roaming the streets. With what I hope…
Two blacktops together
First time I was able to take a picture of my blacktop avenger next to an identical blacktop avenger. Mine is the closer (cleaner) one. He/She even has the same black steelies for the winter, and the only difference I could find was the other blacktop had a darker tint on the windows.
Sharpest Fox I've Come Across.
As you might be aware from my triple black daily (Black body, black rims, black interior), I think lots of great cars look good in triple black. I’d consider getting a triple black 1971 Cadillac Fleetwood even. And this Fox- this is definitely one of them.
The Model Year Rant (Should I go there?) I still want to know- why we can buy a vehicle a model year newer than the present date?
I’d assume this question had been asked here before, but I can’t find any threads on it. And I hope this doesn’t perceive me to be idiotic or annoying. This could be in my part my OCD.
It tears me up that I can't make this Cutlass S Sport Coupe work. But I can recover. Gorgeous.
‘72 Cutlass S Sport Coupe. 350 V8 (2 BBL). Apparently runs and drives well in great shape. Only real aesthetic issues I can see is a bit of rust-drip on the rear bumper and some little coin-sized ugly spots in all the usual areas. But as a whole, appears to be amazing. Listing below (not sure how long it will last):
The Early 70s - The Golden Years
Group of cars from people I know. 1970 Chevrolet Corvette (350 V8), 1971 Plymouth Valiant Scamp (225 I6), and my 1972 Buick Electra 225 Ltd. (455 V8). These cars were all built within 18 months of each other.
Cuban Car Spotting - What the?
Here are some pictures of the vehicles driving around Cuba from my trip. I can
Photoshoot of the Masterpiece. Many pictures finally.
First time I finally took multiple pictures all around the Buick, with it decently clean. Went down to Lake Ontario for it. I suck at photography. Going to be hard to find a more stylish classic car after I sell this thing years down the road. ‘72 Electra Ltd, 455 V8, 4 BBL. Love the rumble and feel of a big block V8.…
Burlington, ON Car Meets- From Big to Nothing??
I was talking to an elderly classic car enthusiast (and perhaps owner), and long time resident of the Lions Club of Burlington.
Burlington, ON - Meet?
Meet up for anyone in Burlington, ON?
The Bigger the Better - Spotting a CAT 994H
I saw what appears to be a CAT 994H Wheel Loader on the road today. Had 3 or 4 squad cars and 2 construction trucks helping guide it and safely move it down the road at a jogging speed. It has 12 foot tall tires, weighs 190 tonnes, and has a 79.9 liter engine.... big things are cool!
Old Hammond Crash (Throwback)
Remember the time Richard Hammond crashed in 2006 and was traveling upwards of 200 mph upside down in a jet car?
C&C Woodbridge*, ON (Great Turnout).
Some of the real nice rides and highlights at the best C&C (Cars and Coffee) I have seen to date, and I’ve been to this one about 6 times. No particular order.
Sunday Meet up
Anyone in the Burlington, Ontario area on here and want to meet up with their cars tomorrow evening (Sun, July 3)?
