Christie is blogging about her 74 VW bug, and making it a good reliable driver again (some past owner put in house carpet, and painted it purple)

 Before and after photos to let you knwo what she had to deal with, but read about it, its another amusing story of what idiots do to cars before us car lovers give them a good home

Christie, who has a really cool profile photo, is in university, and dealing with making a blog, fixing a car, and getting good grades... that is a lot to put together at once! My compliments!

 if you're reading, you ought to put your email somewhere in your profile or your blog so people car respond to your requests for advice and help.

Post a good series of photos from all the way around Arty so we can get a good look at how nice he's turned out too! 

Barnfind Zundapp moped unearthed from a barn that had been closed since the early 1970's

I stumbled across a 1959 VeloSolex S3800 bike at the swapmeet! In damn near complete condition, with saddlebags too!

A big variety of cool old magazines at the swap meet that caught my eye

I met a rare woman yesterday. A beautiful woman who is interested in classic cars, so much that she is making a wiki website about them. Do you have any idea how rare that is?

If you feel as I do, that the more people interested and sharing online, the better... stop by her site and drop your email in her notification list to learn when they launch.

If you have spent time like I have at car shows, you'll agree that women are rarely interested in the classics. Christine was photographing an old Aston Martin when I first saw her (hard to believe I look at people at a Concours event huh?!?!)  and of course I'm a blunt but interested person, and I was really damn curious why a beautiful young woman was wearing a media badge, and photographing the brass era Benz of Barney Oldfield, and the brass era Packard... so I (hopefully not rudely) said pardon my interruption, but in general women aren't interested in classics, and beautiful women even more rarely care so much about them, that they are media covering car show events... what is your media outlet?

And she let me know that she is launching http://timelessvehicles.com/ . Huh. How about that?

I hit the magic number of followers... 426

Wow. Thanks for taking the time to look through enough content that you are impressed enough to want to follow all the future posts... that is a huge compliment.

What has 426 got to do with magic numbers? It's the Mopar big block of choice, either Max Wedge style like I have in my R/T, or hemi... like I'd like to have!
