Blimp over the beach tonight

Awesome lighting on the blimp ! :)

Transportation to other transportation.

Speaking of "Horses", how about a little street horsepower sitting in a 23 T Bucket Roadster that weighs less than 2000 pounds?

I woke up to snow today. Crazy. I just took a few quick snaps before scooping the baby out of her crib since it's a rare sight to see snow here.

We had great fun with my grandsons at the Monster Truck Jam in Tulsa. Our new BOK Center arena is nice but really too small for these guys. They spent a lot of time braking and getting out of the way, but still managed to drive the trucks hard enough to require towing three of the six.

And here's my last one of the series. I read these trucks have about 1500 horsepower! and they sound like it!!

A few from my first trip to New York in '07.

These are from my trip to Seattle in 2007.

A Ferry! I nearly got sea sick on this one! Rode it back from Manitoulin Island back to Tobermory on my way home from my Vacation.

Thanks guys 'n gal, . . . and who wouldn't want that Town 'n Country convertible ?
Bruce your close - check the front plate. 2nd generation '68/'69 Rivieras are kissing cousins,
and share a lot of parts, but there are some differences. :thumbsup:

As old Max used to say; Missed it by "that" much! :p
Back in the day, a friend had a 66 Riviera with the 445 (?) ci engine. Do You remember the one with the rolling speedometer? Anyway, it was fun to drive and had almost as much power as my 67 442 did. My 442 had a tricked out 455 in it though. :D

Yah Bruce, '66 was first year for 2nd generation Rivs, and the last year for the Buick 425ci 'nailhead' v8s, rated at 340 HP,
and it did have a rolling speedo in the dash.
Some 425s had two 4 bbl carbs, and were rated at 360HP. Remember, that's way back when gas was .30 cents a gallon ! :eek:
'67- '69s have a big block 430ci engine, rated at 360HP, and in '70 Buicks went to the big block 455 motor.
The 455 Olds 442s were also very nice cars too, more so, if you had positrac and a heavy right foot . . . yeowwwwsa ! :thumbsup:

1. 1940 Ford

2. 1982 Honda CB750F Super Sport

I did. (A "very" heavy right foot & posi, that is.) The 455 wasn't original in that year though. I cheated just a bit. :eek:
