This is a collection of pictures and descriptions of my past cars.  I have had many in the past and I wished I had more pictures of the different cars that I have had. I’ve had some interesting cars.  To start my first car was a 1970 MGB convertible. I can’t find a picture of it so I downloaded one off the internet.  It looked much like this car.  It was a fun car.  I drove it everywhere even  almost flew out of it when I was driving to college one day at high speed. I hit a bump and the only thing still in the car was my hand holding the steering wheel.

My Ex-fiancé and I got in a wreck on the freeway in a 21 car pile up we were at the tail end and we hit an Ford Escort back bumper not doing to much damage, but it tore a hole through the headlight and side fender.  I got a new one at the junk yard. 

I was searching through one of those junkyards one day when I found a 1981 Fiat Spyder. It was brown and had a turned #1 rod bearing. I decided I had to have this car.  So I traded my MGB for the car and set about fixing it.  I called around to see how much the motor would be to fix.  Well ends up that I drive to Dallas and fix it myself over the summer with the help of a mechanic that worked on the assembly like in Italy on Fiat spiders.  The place I did the work was at Vick Auto Sports. It was a cool place to fix the car I had my head ported and big valves installed while repairing the bottom end.  I drove it around a while and it broke down on me a time or two.

I decided to trade it for a Lancia Zagato that I had seen up a Vick Auto Sports. I decided to trade my Fiat Spyder for this car.  While no a heap it was nothing compared to my Fiat Spyder.  I can’t even remember what happened to my Lancia. I don’t know if I sold it or what. I had purchased three other Fiats from the junkyard to build up one good one. 

 

 

This is not my old MGB but it looked the same.

This was my 1981 Lancia Zagato.

This is me next to my 1981 Fiat Spyder 1990
