For business/training for 5 weeks. Europe, land of the itty bitty cars. Also, my French is rusty. I had a woman approach me on the train and ask me something, the first half of which I understood, but lost the last part entirely.

And it sounds weird. Like a cross between a Ford truck and a Honda starter. But boy does it start. And it spins faster, with less battery drain. It also weighs half as much since it's a PMGR. I'll post a video of it starting sometime so you all can hear the oddity of it. It doesn't fit with the car to my ear because…

For a total, so far, of 51 since monday plus little ancillary phone calls and such. I've done worse; at least it's been from home. I've been called a legend today as well. Here's a song to celebrate. One that I enjoy driving to.

Up for sale is a 1989 Alfa Romeo Milano Gold Edition. With only 112,000 miles on its 2.5L V6 churning out 154 horsepower, this soulful beauty is the last Alfa model released before the brand was purchased by Fiat. With near 50/50 weight distribution and an onboard diagnostic computer, this fine piece or vehicular…

I am trying to figure out how I want to lay out my garage, and I thought I'd ask what you guys are doing for workbench, cabinet, and shelving. I've looked at turnkey systems, but they are pricey, and I've looked at individual component building but that seems like it will be hard to plan and unify.

Something new for something old. I bought a PMGR (permanent magnet, gear reduction) starter from PA Performance to replace the string of 4 remanufactured O'Reilly's starters I've had on and subsequently off the '67 Mustang.

They are all home now. No more living in grandma's garage with the spiders and the brother who spraypaints things inside. The Mustang isn't liking Oklahoma very well and vaporized a starter in a fit of anger, but the others will persuade it to love the windy plains.

As always, no adventure is complete without a few mishaps. Such is the life of a gearhead, and we learn to live depending on our wits, hands, and caffeine to get us where we want to go. My trip to Oklahoma to move my 1967 Mustang to my new house depended on all three, as well as a bit of luck.

On a side note, definitely gotta try this thing out. I must've done something right, because it was gifted to me by my girlfriend's father. His local track closed down and he gave it to me on the condition I run it hard and often. It's a Birel Rotax 125, should be good fun when I can get it out of mothballs and back…

I was at the local O'Reilly's getting some cutting compound to buff out some of the oxidation on the Mustang's paint, and when I got back in the car I cranked it over a few times. It ended with a pop, a bang, and about 5 liters of magic smoke.

Pit stop during a tuning run.

My friend is looking at picking up a 300zx 1990+ for a project car. While it may be a pornographer's car, I'm curious if there's anything special to look out for, any good info sources, or the like for these cars.

Wouldn't want any leaks.

I... I'm 26 and I like Ke$ha.

While driving around doing some tuning stopped for some tea and a break under a tree. album

Yesterday I pulled the door panel, installed a new window regulator, greased the window tracks, and reinstalled the panel, I bought a new Dremel so I could trim my factory radio bezel (chrome was peeling anyways) to fit a standard DIN head unit, I installed the new kickpanels with Pyle 4" speakers, and wired up the…
