The new Morgan three wheeler. Not my pictures, but certainly worth a look. Check the slide show.

A few car shots - not snaps, not studio. Something in-between.

Time to revive this thread!

This workhorse of Alaska aviation has always fascinated me.

My Bimmer. I have dreamed of owning a BMW coupe since I was about 15 years old. Always ended up buying something more practical.

Next year I hit the big 6-0. Figured if I don't get one soon, I may never get one. So a year ago I started looking (and looking and looking). I quickly discovered there are not many used RWD BMW coupes with a manual transmission here in Alaska. Mostly AWD (automatics), which makes sense, considering our long and snowy winters.

I found this car two weeks ago (2004 325Ci with the Sport package). Bought it. In the past week, I've put about 1,000 miles on it....driving the few good, winding roads we have here in southcentral Alaska (over and over again). The forecast is for snow next week, so it's going into storage on Monday. It won't be back on the road again until next May.

I'm looking forward to a few good road trips in the summer of 2013.

I posted a link to the Mullin Museum elsewhere, but thought I'd put it here for any car nuts that might[ve missed it.

No Beemers there, but I went to this museum recently: Collection - Cars - Mullin Automotive Museum: Celebrating the Art Deco Movement

A really amazing collection. Some restored; some original. One that a docent told me was worth 40 million dollars. (Maybe "worth" should be in quotes; but it was sure beautiful.)

If you're in SoCal on a day it's open (only two Saturdays a month, it seems), it's worth a visit.
