Just thought about the fact that we lost the car show section quite sometime ago. I was thinking maybe we should start a thread for your favorite pic of your car.
Can we do that or will it take too much bandwidth?

no idea on bandwith...but a thread in ramblings will delete after a couple of weeks automatically

but finding my favorite pic of my car...its a tough one...got several 'favorites'...lol

Will it delete even if it's refreshed every couple of weeks with a new post? That will be the task, find THE one that you like best. The good thing is you could change it once in awhile to a new favorite.

here's mine LOL

my car at the alignment shop yesterday

I am not "refreshing" will help?? or maybe if its kept up 'forever'...here`s one of my favorite pics

Bjorn, THAT is a beautiful shot! (Buick wheels and all)

Very Nice!

This one of my favs. Laguna Seca 2010.

thanks...another, where you cant see the rims! lol

of course ,just about everyone is familiar w this shot....but maybe some nowcomers havent seen it?

i miss it

Bjorn,
I've not seen that shot. Are those your daughters?

no, they are not....lol...you are not the first to ask that though...
3 of these girls used to work with me..., from left to right as you see them , Lucy (Lucila),from Bolivia, Sonia ,Brazil, her best friend (I temporarily am drawing a blank on her name) , Brazil, Suzana (Sonias twin), and of course in the middle , Natalie , my 45 yr old GF from US....(the Firebird)
I worked Lucy , Sonia and Suzana...they have since left our co...Lucy is a stewardess w American now

Love your hiring policy!!

Here's a couple of pictures of my Firebird

Gotta like working with Brazilian chicks. Have an office full of them myself and keep losing my train of thought when they start walking around.

our Brazilians are gone from here now , but have a very pretty Colombian and a very pretty Indonesian now instead...lol

Scenic views from across the globe all in one place!! We just got a 19 year old Brazilian receptionist and my wife started bringing my lunch up to the office every day. Strange coincidence.

How low can you go...

Gordon, can you drive up and down my driveway a few times? I need some re-grading done after all the snow and plowing put a huge ridge down the middle.

I think that front plow looks to be the perfect height for my driveway to get that done.

thanks in advance!

LOL !!! Craig I was thinking the same thing. We could have used that plow a couple of months ago. It would need snow tires though. LOL !!!

Gordon, I love the low stance. How do you keep it from rubbing the inner fenders?

Simple, there are no inner fenders.
Only rub I got at the track was when I was riding the curbs to high, the rears would occasionally rub the inner wheel well. Adjusted my line and it wasn't an issue.

Hay!..Hay!..Hay!...I like the plow.

cleaned up for a cruise and returning home
You can see in the second pic how bright my tail lights are ,I took all the lights apart this past winter and cleaned the housings and polished the lenses .

A few years ago I could have really used the plow...

Best I can get at the moment. I know I know I need to paint the hood tach lol.

A pic taken a couple of years ago. Now she's in a thousand pieces.

Here's one from this morning showing off her new top!

Looks Great!!! Finally got to drive her to work- eh? How's the fit?

Gotta get used to those gears! 3rd and 4th are not where "they should be" based on the truck I used to drive.

Of course it started raining about an hour after I got to work. Only lasted 20 mins at least. She already needed a bath. Oh well.

A couple pics of my bird ...no snow plow comments, please!

OK, I promise! I love that color! I love a cool car with redlines!

(can we comment on the air cleaner sticker??)

Thanks Craig ...I'm debating removing the plow given all the bad press they're getting around here, and the fact winters have been mild down here. Ha! However, the air cleaner sticker really helps clarify what's under it at the car shows. ...although I still get - is that a real 400? So maybe it is pointless! I'll put my YT sticker on the block that's been sitting in the glove box forever, and see if that helps. PS: really like that 4spd of yours!!!

Here is one of my favorites, professionly taken at the POCI convention in Bowling Green.

Now that's a SMOKE show,im gonna paint mine red.lol

well, a comment on the 'plow'...if you "drive" that car, the plow really helps...gets better steering at speeds over 80...gets the front wheels on the ground! but if you dont drive over 65, no problem...but then why have a 400?lol

Slightly off topic here I guess, but I've been admiring the wheels/rims on all of these cars, and I was wondering which ones were actually stock options on the FGFs. Saw some of the 5-spoke PMD rims on a '68 bird at a cruise-in over the weekend and they look way better than the granny-wheel covers I've got on mine. Are these 5-spoke ones the ones you guys are mentioning in earlier threads about being Buick rims? I'd prefer to keep things as original as possible as opposed to just picking whatever looks good.
Also, do most people end up putting wider tires on? If so, can you go much wider without worrying about getting stone chips in the paint behind the rear wheels?

5 spoke PMD rims were called the rallye wheels , an option....
the Buick rims referred to are on my car and are lots skinnier spokes...and chrome, I like them because of the 'look' plus no trim rings ,to scuff or loose...the Pontiac rallye rims are wider spokes and painted


here a pic of my Buick rims

Stop recruiting people to the dark side...

LOL....
