JollySipper Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 I've kinda got a thing for some of the Beemers.... Here's a couple to get things started. First we're stanced with an already potent car.... Then we go into full blown race mode.... I'm sure you guys can find some to add...

Draggon Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 "Getaway Driver" is a silly show, but it beats other things on Monday night TV. This guy won both rounds last night. Corvette powered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely I'd have gotten them running well and found them good homes. I paid $5 (yup... five dollars) for the Corvair because it wouldn't stay running. Several shops had looked at it and put fuel pumps on it to no avail. The owner was frustrated and just wanted out. Turned out the eccentric on the cam that drives the mechanical pump had worn out. Weird, but an electric pump fixed it, and it was a daily driver. I bought the Isetta cheap after it had been sitting for years, and the owner didn't want to put enough money in it to get it running reliably. Same story with the Ghia.

matthijsgrit Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 And since Hot Rod is applicable in many, many ways, this is a big surprise by Griot's Garage.
