bahama yellow 911 at the cottage

no need for words. classic porsche, right color, 

and summer at the cottage is just right.

Long hibernation - is over now.

For the "race-panel" ... first i drove 300 kilometers straight away, without any malfunctions, then to the NT2K-meet, to see other lunatics with a box shaped car. that was a fun meet actually, with lots of old friends, and now some new friends as well. thanks for the ones that made this happening!

krem-a-que & cruising night at helsinki 1.7.2016

 a very nice evening with the kids and friends...first at the hietaniemi, to check the vw´s and after that cruising down the streets of helsinki city. i still think that matti´s supercharged CONTINENTAL is the best package at the streets. :-)

jyrki´s 911 turbo, sounded pretty mean.

listen up the sweet rumble at my youtube channel...

a great vw-scene day!

i went to get the panel van inspected today, but i didn't go as planned, and the reason was that the mechanic ( me, myself & i) made a mistake, ....first i had two spacers in the rear brake in wrong places, so i had to fix those at Kottens garage, ok it didn't take that long at all, but the reason for NOT to get the van inspeccted properly was that i never actually adjusted the parking brakes at all, so pulling the lever didn't make much of braking. that was one thing.... the second thing was that the rear wheel was oily, so the inspector thought it will slip oil, even the rear brakes were working like they should. ok i only have to clean the wheels inside and adjust the parking brakes... that will do the trick.

after this i went to see Tomi at sepankatu garage, and bring out some parts for my stroker...
there was a problem with the berg rockers, super flows and big springs....they make the pushrods to touch the puush rod tubes, so the idea was to take the heads off and weld and remake  things .... ;-) but then the better idea was to try again the Pauter rockers, and after so tweaks, we have now pauter rockers working with my parts... wow. one side is pretty much looking great.

I got some spare adjusters from Jyrki Laune to the pauter rockers, (a very big THANKS to jyrki to help in this) and after this we got the oil sump in order too, except, theres one stud missing, but ill figure out something for that...

i got new intake manifolds from AIRCOOLED.FI, (thanks for mikko) and they will have 48mm butterfly´s in no time. and maybe some other parts like fan etc... ;-)

i also got the opportunity to see Make´s turbo bugs engine... and check out some things that i could copy to my black ghia´s engine...anyways even i didn't have the bus inspected ... it was a helluva day.
got to get the panel inspected and the stroker...well you will guess where. :-)

Helsinki cruising 7-2015

Helsinki city cruising 2015 or the cruise night, was

full of happy people, great cars, and good weather.

what i missed was full batteries in my iPad & iPhone.

I was using my GoPro, but at least 

you have something to see...

a sharp looking Rustang, you can't beat patina.

i loved it. 

no need for wash, or paint...its all there.

sounded great also...

This mopar, was stuffed with a 735hp / 875nm hemi

this thing makes my panel van look like a dwarf :-)

Zee datsuns are pretty good looking cars...

i hope to get one later on...

and it don't need an SBC to move, 

a SIX would be enough

this was bad ass, a 55 chevy gasser, liked this a lot!

and it was high!

the horn section was also included

salami mc Queen? heh it different!

more gassers, but this was a bit more shy.

a 34 ford ... its just so beautiful, wow

ok, this is what even silvio berlusconi would want, 

an older escort, ok over 25 years old but 

still looking sharp

and the rear is not sagging at all...

again a ford, and again a 1934 model... 

but its just so beautifull

next time i will take videos...

at the cruise nights theres people from different ages

and different thoughts of whats IN and whats OUT

maybe next time i bring Lili and Jimi altos the cruise..

the kids love those funny looking cars...

...but driving this...its always IN

patina pickups like this is also in my "got to have"

list...but before that i had to park my panel and 

grab some beer and some man-food :-)

...but it was fun, and people were feeling relaxed

thanks helsinki and other petrosexuals. :-)

maybe i will come with a different car next time.
