"Uh nice to see another car fan I have a German sportscar, the one with the engine in the back and six aircooled cylinders....Love it."
byf43,

Nice, a 911! I drive the original P-car. Drove a 1963 B sunroof 356 to work today, just recently sold a 1964 C Cabriolet. See:

'63 Sunroof B 356 Porsche

I also have the last "new car" my wife's grandfather bought. It's a fully restored old beetle that I drive sparingly, too nice to bugger up! I also collect any of a very wide variety of both modern and antique firearms. I think Bill Ruger said when he built the Ruger Special that guns and cars just go together. I couldn't agree more.

Ron, I forgot about straight razors......when the change to the safety type razor took place some years ago, I hit every barber shop in town (4 then) and bought theirs stocks of obsolete straight razors. Most were in sorry condition and have since been moved along, I got a couple of pristine ones in their boxes here on display in my model airplane/tea set/money/bayonet show case..........You guys w/ PP/PPk guns, I have an interesting pair, one select fire 380 w/1940 Commercial proofing. Rankin has some comments on these in one of his books, mine is complete and functioning, and a factory engraved PPk w/'EH' intertwined on the fore strap in a 1" oval, standard oak leaf design, blued, one of 15 or so existing pistols made in late '43/early '44. I have told many lookers that it was 'Eva' Hitlers gun and most bought it!!!!!! Had to tell them otherwise before they left........ Stymie, Sunday past, after church, three of us, wife included, killed a bunch of clays w/Browning Pigeon Broadway and Win. 101 Pigeon and a lowly Rem 1100. Shot spray paint cans at 80 yds w/FN 49 and BM 59 semis in 308. Then ran 400 rnds 308 through my Jap 99. Bob Naess made my extra barrels into 308s last year. I have a US 50 conversion for my Russian DShK almost finished. Your Lionel train set must have been a prewar standard gauge, as they had a tendency for the wheels to rot off from poorly mixed metals, O gauge locos were prone to the same problem but not so many were made as standard during the problem era...............

Roadkill, I recognize your pictured guns as somewhat modified AK variant, AR 15/M 16 and one of many models of FAL. At one time I have a real Russian paratrooper AK 47 on a Class 2 paper, complete w/forged receiver and milled steel folding stock. I paid $125. for it and foolishly sold it to a $5500. offer about 10 years ago. Can you imagine what that gun would be worth in todays market???????? I have an Isreali select fire heavy barrel FAL and two Colt FA M-613s which are pre military police (?) or commercial guns..............Doug G., you got into machine guns after the price went into orbit???????? I bought 40 machine guns in 1988 alone, too bad I didnt see where it was going then, I got an MG 42 for $3500 and another for $2750. Still have both, had two others but moved them to buy things I didnt have. Once again, acted too soon. Previous wife (shame on me) wanted a 'crotch rocket', but I knew she didnt fit the mold just because her brothers had one. I got her a Honda 250 street bike and she never could pass the drivers test to get certified. It and the 4 speed Corvette she could live without sat in the garage until the clutch rusted to the flywheel and the bikes carbs gummed up, they went. My fastest drag car, full sized 1962 Pontiac w/modified 455 Pontiac engine goes 10.05/135. in a 1/4, 6.50/106. in an 1/8. Looking at the time slips, I think 100 mph would take 5 second. This is a 30 ft wheelstander, impressive for a biggy car but not very practical..............
