Easy engines? My first car was a '51 Chev sedan, with the old 216 six. You could stand up in the engine bay to work on it, and didn't need many tools to take it apart.

The new VW engine - I check the oil and fill the windshield washer fluid. The computer looks after everything else, so with all those electronics I got the 10-year extended warranty.

But...216 CI = 3,540 cc @ 92 HP, vs. 2,000 cc @ 292 HP! I cannot work on the engine, but the engine sure works!

Might as well add another pic, so following Edom31's lead, here is another tire. (Those were on the car until this morning - snows are now on, as BC law requires snows for driving over the passes into the Interior after October 1st.)

My first owned engine was a Royal Enfield 346 cc single in a bike made in 1946. In 1956, I bought it and a bunch of parts from Fred Deeley in Vancouver BC, got it home, took the engine and transmission into the basement, rebuilt them and had wheels (of a sort) for grade 12. I was made in 1940, well September 1939, but I hid out until June 10, 1940.

My brother posing with his '79 El Camino. He's a mechanic and did all the drivetrain and body/paint work himself. I'm guessing this photo was taken in the mid-90's. Scan from a print:

Nice car, and the body work looks great!

Now for a ship - HDMS Peder Skram, a frigate now part of the Royal Danish Naval Museum.

Quietly stalking through the dappled woodland light, and gazing down over the brow of 70-foot deep ravines, is a good way to spot Gremlins..., that's right AMC Gremlins.

About 40 years earlier it was sitting about where I stood to take this picture. But shifting ground under it, from freezing and thawing of the ground in cool months, gradually carried it farther and farther downslope, until it rolled into those trees. I wouldn't try to crawl down to it without a big rope around me.

Both Queens-bound.

Well we were out this past Sunday at the lake looking for the park where the wind surfers have a designated launch area and while doing so came across some interesting rides. I didn't notice till later in the afternoon that i was in "Bleach Bypass" mode . I guess it hit it while putting in the bag or taking it out Any way the colors are not quite right . The first one is The only original I think I have ever seen. 1952 Aero?

As the sign says 1978 Fiat Sport Spyder . This year in production there were 2 engines both of 1756cc with 86hp the other 116 hp. Not to sure which one this one has. I don't think this is a local car after taking a closer look at the body work and lug nuts on the wheels. The paint job looks recent and it did have some Shine to it

This is for sure a really nice ride Twin turbo V-10 with North of 600 Hp and 413 LB Ft of torque mated to a Seven speed Dual clutch transmission and a top speed of 200 MPH All You really need is some place to drive it like You stole it This was sitting in the driveway next to a Ford Raptor. It just makes me wonder what was in the Garage

Because some times what you really need is a big truck to vacuum some holes in your yard on a soggy rainy day:

I'll raise you a mobile wash unit, whatever this might be...

I'll call with our duct cleaning Tuesday. iPhone photo through living room bay window. Noisy, but the ducts are clean and sterilized. Good clean job without any paint scratches. Note the late summer weather pattern.

What is all the white stuff on the ground? I don't see ant trees with white leaves?
