1991 Suzuki GSXR-1100

I rode the bike today with the rebuilt shock and it felt exactly as it should. Now I need to remove the old screen and install the new tinted one and install the new tires

1991 Suzuki GSXR-1100

I reinstalled the shock on the bike and need some warmer weather to go for a ride and test it out.

1972 Detomaso Pantera

This mid-engined Italian exotic was powered by a high-output Ford Cleveland 351 V8 and drove through a 5 speed Transaxle. I bought this car out of Texas. The motor had been newly rebuilt and it was insanely fast. I have never been in any vehicle that would accelerate from 100 to 140 as fast as the Pantera would. I sold this car on EBay in '04 but I will definitely buy another soon..

2002 Kawasaki ZRX1200R


I bought this bike brand new from Bennet Kawasaki in Corinth, Ms. on a whim and rode it home in the late December chill! I put a Kerker exhaust on it. This was a fast and comfortable machine-great bike. It had immense power - all over the powerband and handled superbly-I sold this on Ebay to a man from Louisiana in '07

Me and my favorite car fans


This is a pic of me and my fellow car enthusiasts: my sons Slater and Trevor. We were at the Memphis dragstrip last fall

1991 BMW 525i


This car had 104,000 miles on it and I bought it from Roadshow in Memphis. It was beautiful and looked brand new. It was the first year for the 24 valve M50 engine and even though it had an automatic it would hit 135 with ease. It was a great car- except for the transmission which had to be rebuilt. I sold it on Ebay to a buyer from Atlanta in '05

1995 Ducati 900 SS SP


This was a fabulous bike. It was the limited edition SP model with Carbon fiber fenders, remote reservoirs, cast-iron floating rotors. It had a staintune exhaust with an intoxicating sound. I sold this bike to a buyer from Tn on EBay in '03

1996 BMW M3 supercharged


This was an amazing car. It had a Dinan supercharger kit, stainless exhaust, sway bars, custom stereo with sub and amp and a glorious two tone black and very Italian pale yellow/beige leather interior. It had 340 hp and would get to 119 in third gear. The exhaust note was glorious: a sonorous combination of a vintage E-type Jag when accompanied with the whine of the paxton supercharger made you realize this was something very special. I have never driven a better handling car- so far. I sold this car in '06 on EBay

1978 Renault 17 Gordini


This car was from Texas and I trailered it back to Oxford. It had sat for a long time due to a faulty air flow meter in the fuel injection system which made the car run way too rich. It was in a time warp condition with 54,000 miles, no rust and an incredible interior. I replaced the fuel injectors, detailed the motor, got the ac working, put new tires, replaced the coolant hoses, fixed the power top and obsessed over it relentlessly. I sold it on Ebay last summer to a Renault enthusiast from New Hampshire who plans to repaint it.

1977 Renault Alpine A310


I had owned several Renaults and had always wanted an Alpine. This car was incredible with three weber two barrels, headers and only 50,000 miles. It was very fast with an unforgettable high-pitched race-car wail to the exhaust. It would get a little scary over 100 due to the extreme rear weight bias, I would definitely buy another though. I sold this in early '06 on Ebay to a buyer from New York

1972 Buick GS 455


This is the '72 GS455 I owned. I rebuilt the entire front suspension and put recovered bucket seats in it. It had a 3'' exhuast, 950 race demon carb, T/A SPX intake, Headers, msd billet dsitributor, and a 3.73 posi. The cam was a T/A 113 I believe and it would idle at 1300 rpm with a potent and menacing lope. I sold it in '06 to a man from Canada on EBay
