Bringing Baby Home
Bringing Baby Home
picked up the newest addition to the stable tonight;
The stable has completely outgrown the space I have, I'll have to start looking for acreage!
6 Spiders
1 Spider race car
1 coupe
1 850
1 600
2 S10 Blazers
1 Suburban
1 GMC 3500 crew cab
1 Toyota truck
1 S10 4x4 truck
1 Ford Contour
this doesn't count the daily drivers my family has

Re: Bringing Baby Home
You didnt list all the cars your storing for eladio. That looks better on the trailer then it did in my driveway. My house looks naked without a single car out front now. But there are 2 more x,s waiting to come home.
Re: Bringing Baby Home
I could bring the Suburban over and you could house a small family in it

Re: Bringing Baby Home

Re: Bringing Baby Home
Nice looking '79. I presume the interior and side glass was riding in the Suburban or the bed of the 3500 Crew Cab...
Short of bright green, yellow is always the best color for an X (for me anyway).
Congrats on the purchase, everyone should have at least one X.

Re: Bringing Baby Home
I agree, yellow is the color for an X. Door glass is non-existant. I'm contemplating what to do with it; make a lightweight pocket-rocket maybe?
A SHO in an X? holy moly, that would be a ride!

Mark - You actually would ahve all the room you need if you would just rid of all that American iron in your stable.
Re: Bringing Baby Home
haha, I know but I need something to bring me back to reality
Re: Bringing Baby Home
Mark that list of cars looks like a good start, buy more acreage and build more shops!

I'm contemplating a second story with a twisty ramp to the top

Re: Bringing Baby Home
Keep it up and you'll be just like me! Your list of cars looks very familiar. So, what made you want to buy an X?

Re: Bringing Baby Home
I've had several X's in the past, they come and they go . I had an 85 I drove daily for a couple of years, sold it, bought it back, sold it again as a parts car to Ed Decarbo.
With several X performance products in the pipeline it will be handy to have one available all of the time.
And it's like playing with a full house these days. I have a 600, 850, X and 124 Spiders. Now I need a 131 I suppose and another coupe since I just sold the 73
