Things to do to get that old thing running. Part One.


Open wide and say... AHHH!

Now that I'm going to have space available in my garage, I need to have all my cars in running condition. The Mark VII is the only one that isn't currently running.

My life on the Riviera. Or in my case, my life as a Contrarian.



Leaning forward like a shark!
Like the Chuck Berry lyric sang, "I'll put you in a car that will eat up the road!"



It wouldn't fool anyone into thinking that it was a hatchback.

    a person who opposes or rejects popular opinion, especially in stock exchange dealing.

    "the comment came more from a contrarian disposition than moral conviction"

If one car in the garage is good, two cars are even better.


These are the two smallest cars in my fleet.

This is the third and final update on my garage situation. At least for now.

Hey! I can actually fit a car in my garage! (Again) A "Real Life" adventure.


The XJS is not as small as a Smart Car
but not as big as the '56 Cadillac that once sat in this spot.

Note the car's position relative to the center floor seam.
That empty space between the locker and the metal shelf has been eliminated.



It has taken two sheds to empty out the garage but it's almost done.

A "She Shed" she said, Part Two.


Here's where w decided the second shed will go.

Right now I'm sitting on the couch writing this post while I'm waiting for the contractor to arrive to construct our second shed. Yes, there is a lot of stuff that still has to be moved out of the garage.
