rofl never got that. Dumbest thing ever. Who cares what somebody that teaches your kids drive. Then again, I was sitting in the parking lot of my wife's company one day waiting for her and she said she overheard the cleaning people thinking I was one of the execs due to the Caddy haha.

1969 Chevrolet Sportvan 108 - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/05/pop ... rtvan-108/
I'd so roll to races in this.. would save a ton on hotel expenses haha!

1973 Jidé 1600 S - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/05/170 ... de-1600-s/
Never seen or heard of this one. Note the pedals.. wild!

1988 Lamborghini LM002 - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/01/16/bla ... ini-lm002/
Note often you see these for sale.. $350K? Damn hah. I remember reading up on the service costs of these (and tire replacements!) and it was insane.

1968 Pontiac LeMans Sport Truck Prototype - http://bringatrailer.com/2015/10/23/fac ... prototype/
"The answer to a question nobody ever asked". Why this over an El Camino I'm not sure.. Never seen it before though.

1965 MiG 21PF - http://bringatrailer.com/2015/10/23/mac ... -mig-21pf/
An oldie on there hah.. such a design improvement over the Mig-17. Hell I've been in Mig-17s and how the heck they could see anything out of it much less dogfight it is beyond me. Now whether or not I'd risk flying a 50+ years old Russian plan is another story..

1970 Suzuki LJ10 - http://bringatrailer.com/2015/12/19/two ... zuki-lj10/
Pre-Samurai. Looks like a Japanesefied Willys if you ask me.

1988 UAZ 469 - http://bringatrailer.com/2015/12/19/che ... 8-uaz-469/
Where the hell would you find 76 octane fuel?!?

1986 Honda City Convertible - http://bringatrailer.com/2015/12/18/jdm ... cabriolet/
Not sure what is more ironic.. that this thing was styled by Pininfarina or that this tiny thing is in Texas...

1970 Volkswagen Beetle - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/08/240 ... en-beetle/
Wonder how many looks you'll get when you rev that wankel up to 9K RPM.. or how many people you'll catch off guard at a red light when you fly off with the 240 HP. I've driven Porsche powered Beetles (they were a thing in Norway).. this one would be a completely different beast haha.

1968 Volkswagen Type 3 - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/08/mil ... en-type-3/
Don't think I've ever seen one of these before. Kinda neat.

1956 Imperial - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/09/one ... rd-player/
The record player sold me!

1951 Kaiser Henry J - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/09/ear ... r-henry-j/
This might fall under the WTF category. Talk about an oddball.. but it does have a hemi! Oh and a tube frame...

Bit of a grab bag of stuff today...

1996 Rolls Royce Silver Spur - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/11/und ... o-reserve/
Like old Rolls aren't bad enough as it is - flood damage and non-running. British electronics that were submerged in water? Oh yeah have fun with that!

1968 Triumph TR6 - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/11/nis ... iumph-tr6/
A TR6 with a Skyline swap? Really? Wow. Not sure if that is awesome or just plain sacrilege... But 300 HP in a Triumph sounds kind of fun!

1987 Toyota Soarer GT Twin Turbo - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1987-t ... win-turbo/
Don't see these on the road every day here in the US. Nice! Although I'd never own it - the RHD is just a complete mood kill for me.

Ferrari Macchine Agricole - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/11/318 ... -agricole/
From the "just odd" bag comes a mopar swapped Italian tractor of sorts...

1988 Porsche 944 - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/12/48k ... rsche-944/
So I actually love 944s.. but.. wtf is up with that seat upholstery? Wow.. pixelated?!?

1967 Ford Anglia - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/13/bda ... rd-anglia/
Another oddball.. A Toyota 4AGE swap with a 5-speed out of a Ford Sierra.. running Yamaha R1 carbs?!? Oh and front discs from a Fiesta and rear discs from a Peugeot?!? Frankenmonster haha.

1987 Merkur XR4Ti - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/12/alm ... i-5-speed/
A bit of a walk down memory lane here. This (well Ford Sierra XR4 back home) was my first car. In grey. Granted, different engine there (came with a V6) but still.

1967 Toyota 2000GT - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/12/not ... -in-japan/
I don't even care that it is RHD. Drool worthy.

1959 Willys Jeep FC-170 - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/17/wor ... ep-fc-170/
Wow don't think I have ever seen one of these! Needs a lot of work though..

1989 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ70 LHD - http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1989-t ... iser-bj70/
Get this instead of the silly Montero and Mighty Tonka stuff ;)

Spex Elf Converted 1979 Honda Civic - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/17/del ... nda-civic/
Uhm.. wtf! I am not sure I got words..

2005 Subaru Legacy GT Wagon - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/17/gro ... -gt-wagon/

1959 Ford F100 Panel on 2002 Toyota Tundra Chassis - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/19/mad ... a-chassis/
Don't see this every day! What a weird combination.. but again, I could see myself hauling all my crap to races in this!

1987 Aston Martin Lagonda Shooting Brake - http://bringatrailer.com/2016/02/19/wed ... ing-brake/
Ok so I like wagons and this is just.. bad. Very bad. So bad it is almost cool. The regular Lagonda is ugly in itself but this thing? Wow..

Maybe if I owned a Toyota shop.

I do like the Delica though :lol:
