Here is what my lovely little Mercedes two door, turbo charged coupe looks like..... hahahah



600cc of three cylinder turbo charged engine. I must take a photo when I have it filled for a gig. But believe it or not It will take a 2x10 and 1x15 Mesa Boogie Powerhouse cab in the back and 3U rack case with my amp on the front passenger seat and SC Dlx in it's case in the front footwell.

And....... still hits 80mph and does over 60mpg although not at the same time. :-)

I've had it almost 5 years and it's a great little car. I plan to keep it till it won't run anymore. Great cheap motoring especially with the price of petrol these days.

"I must take a photo when I have it filled for a gig."
Please. I'd love to see that.
My ride is a base model '99 Chevy S-10 short-box pickup that I bought about a year ago. My first foray into trucks, and I like it. It's good on gas, easy to fix, and cost less than any one of my Alembics. ;)

The Cayenne has been photoshoped, looks pretty cool however, and I'm jonesing for a Cayenne real bad, just not a Cayenne Turbo, I drove a Cayenne Turbo and it was STUPID FAST and I would loose my driver license and I don't need that

Here's one of my 1972 MG midget that I've had since around 1983..
midg

The photo was taken after I'd cut out most of the rotten metal. Since then I've welded in new inner and outer sills, rear spring hangers and a new floor. New inner front wheel arches and footwell panels. The car is now waiting for rear wings and a rear panel then it'll be just about ready for painting. I'm hoping I'll have it back on the road by next summer but I'm not holding my breath.

Here's my 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis. It's got a cop motor, cop suspension, cop exhaust... :-)

Seriously, it's got 160,000 miles on it (all by me) and still runs like a top. Just in the last month, the windsheild wipers have decided that they like being up instead of down when I turn them off, and the trunk spring broke, so I have to hold it open. Other than that It's given me no trouble. It hauls all my gear plus the family. The trunk is large enough to procreate in, if you were so inclined. Gets 25mpg on the highway fully loaded with stuff.



One of my favorite features is the glow-in-the-dark inside-the-trunk emergency manual release... In any language it clearly says, "Pull this, jump out, and RUN!"



I have always wondered if sombody at Alembic has a thing for Lotus automobiles, seeing as how Europa and Elan are also both names of Lotus cars.

I believe Ron and Susan had a Europa in the early daze, and the names of Alembics were based on Lotus names, or at least began with an "E" like Lotus does. (Essence, Epic, Excel).

A Citroen! It's true.

As my Dad put it, a hydraulic nightmare. :-)

I always wanted one of those Citroen lemon-shaped DS 60s convertibles - they had some sort of pneumatic suspension & lights that turned with the steering wheel.
Here's one from 1967, a great year in SF by all accounts!
