Hey all, this is a link to my website page. I'm currently trying to sell my Mini Cooper. If you know anyone looking for one please help out and pass it along. Thanks.

A recent paint correction performed by Shine Addict. Gorgeous black Camaro at American Resto Mods in Buford, Ga. Underwent compounding and 2 stages of fine polishes and sealed off with 2 coats of Collinite wax.

This year www.southeastwheelsevetns.com is sponsoring a unique project and I think most of you will enjoy a glimpse of the man with the brains behind it. Bob Sarda is working on a project to be the fasted man on steam powered wheels in a 1972 Honda!  Check out his Blog!  It is real good reading! http://southeastwheelsevents.com/profiles/blogs/bonneville-salt-fla...

PS Bob is a modest sort, in spite of his ambition. He will tell you he is not a graduate engineer, but a graduate Soap Box Derby kid! :-)

The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models. Originally introduced in 1954 at the urging of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster was designed to be a low cost, lightweight, stripped-down entry sports car that could double as a weekend racer, especially for the California sports car scene. With its low windshield,…
