Any connection to the Super Cub?

N4099Z was the airplane I soloed in back in 82', That picture was taken in 85' probably, at our family glider port. My twin brother still owns and flies the Super cub. Both of his sons learned to fly in it and it was one of two aircraft I started my own FBO with in 95'. I am sure it will remain in the family for generations to come.
The 55 MG TF was my dad's that he bought in 1961. It is still in the family as well.
It has an Alfa Romeo 1600 CC Twin Cam installed and gets run up and down the runway at my bro's airport once a month on hangar cleaning day.
Carpe Diem

My buddy that I got the '57 from now has a '55 gasser that has been in Hot Rod magazine. He runs some kind of fsatest streetcar thing now. He also had a '79 Malibu tubbed with a 509 BBC. It ran 8's on street tires but this was back in the mid 90's. If you do a search for Stasiak and Chisholm you can probably find pics of the gasser but I'll see if I have one

Found one >

BMW 1800? I Love the older 'real' BMW sports sedans. When I first started doing track events I ran with BMWCCA and was around all the flavors of M3's. What awesome cars.

In 89 almost bought an 89 M3 but just as I was making the decision, after test driving twice, they came out with the 90 300ZX and I was bowled over and went a different direction.

My favorite was my 1970 Olds W31. Bought it in 1988 when I was 19 from the original owner with 51,000 miles on it. It was pretty rough but paid $700 and spent a little restoring it. Only reason I sold it was cause I wanted to drag race and didn't want to tear that car up. Ended up with a 1969 Chevelle. Chevelle had 17,000 original miles on it and was an IHRA A-Stock national record holder back in the 70's before I bought it. It was just a plain Malibu but was done up to replicate a COPO 427 car for A-Stock.

Sold theW31 about 1992 and bought the Chevelle right after. Sold the Chevelle about 1997 and bought a '57 Chevy but the W31 and Chevelle were my #1 and #2 cars. Still wish I had that W31 back.

I always loved those Olds wheels. One of the best OEM wheels ever made.

Sharp judge! How come you have '80 turbo wheels on your 79? She needs some snowflakes. We had a 79 gold T/A. Also an 80 turbo T/A for a short time to resell.

The 10th annv. TA came with the turbo wheels. Thank for the compliment on the Judge. It is my fav.

There was a story behind that. I can't remember the whole story and haven't talk to Chisholm for awhile but that car came from a junkyard for $500 and they had to completely rebuild it. I guess it was 'too far gone' to be road worthy again but they did it anyway. I think he ran 9's with it a few years ago.
 
My favorite car…. This thing since new has not cost me a dime…rotors and pads and tires being the exception. It is a 2013 and has 206k miles on it and not a single thing has needed repair or replacement…not even the battery… I put 500 miles a week on it either going to work or the boat…. My wife said I should get a new car just to be safe in case it broke down unexpectedly ..so I ordered the same thing … I waited weeks…the whole time saying why to myself because I will just mileage the new one…so when the new car was delivered to the dealer and he raised his price $500 that was enough to kill the deal… I put another set of new tires on mine ….couldn’t be happier :)
I just noticed the mud on the bumper that’s from following to close to a landscaping truck :(
