Boat Racing, Quading & Dirt Biking

Did I mention I loved speed? Cougar "flat bottom" with a roller 454, duel 750's worked over by Barry Prescott. Loud, whining V drive. We raced it for 5 year...till Marlene said...Jared would like a father..."Alive"We were "Care group" leaders to 8 couples....and some of them had "jam" so we went to Florence Oregon to test the toys on the sand dunes....and quick sand!!Jared and Sam getting dirty at Herrling IslandBoys and Toys in the Osoyoos desert Mtns...Dave, Jared, Peter & Larry.Marlene, Jared, Larry with friends Ger & Jenn at Herriling.Jared 1st quad...he was 5...and we had a blast...and a few scary moments as well!!

Cars

My first car. A 38 Chev Coupe. I started this project in grade 8 and completed it 3 days before grad. (thank goodness for shop courses at school)...lots of cold nites in a unheated garage...but it was worth it. The upholstry was my grad present...thanks mom & dad.Grad day with friend Sid...pulled the hood off to show off the "stuff"My first car...from grade 7...but dad somehow got me to sell it to him. No hotrodding to this 1931 Durant rumble seat coupe.My 96 Yukon...lowered with air in the rear, billet grill, custom bumper and rear steel tailpan with LED rear lights and HID up front. Chipped & has custom air intake plus Flow Masters on 20'sWhen I sold the 38 to buy our current home....I would replace it some day....with another "Date Car"...this V10 Viper would do the trick. (say hi to Chris...my nephew...on his grad day)
