    Series II for sale

    I hate to do this, but the economy has left me no choice. I am selling my 1962 Alpine SII. It has a 2.8L v6 (non-jose) and full Capri running gear. I had been using it for a daily driver, mainly because it is easier to park than my truck. The car was recently painted, and has been garage kept...

    Spring starter, no electric problems

    This seems like a great idea to me, with one modification. I have a swamp buggy, powered by a '43 Willys four banger. It is a 3 hour ride through the Everglades to get to my property and with out a buggy, it would be impossible to stay there for any extended time (You can only backpack a few...

    Camera choices

The Silent-Wave (AF-S) lenses are the cats meow, offering focusing as fast as any in the industry. My favorite lens is the Nikon - 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom, I use it on 80%...

    Joe-is this one of your kits??

    After drag racing for years, I though a 'beam would be a poor choice for drag racing. Too short of a wheelbase, bet he couldn't see where he was going for the first 150 feet!

    Warranty help

    Believe it or not, the Better Business Bureau has helped me in the past. They collect data on manufactures and pressure them to do the right thing. I had a Chevy Silverado P/U with 56K miles on it when the transmission went out. The truck was close to two years out of warranty. The local...

    TE/AE United XXVII

    Absolutely beautiful finish, tan interior and top, and New Jersey vanity plates. Wish I'd taken the time to crawl under it. Look at the reflection in the hood, like a mirror! Thanks for the reply.
