1951 Jaguar Mark V with full tool kit, very impressive

Special hood ornament was a one year only option paying respect to some Prime Minister or something, relating to Wales. Yes, that is a terrible decription, but it's all I can recall about it

Poway Transmissions - Annual Motorhead Madness

Hell yes, never grow up, never grow old

 interesting heater controls, too bad news cars don't have controls that look as good as this... new plastic knobs all look the same, boring with no design thought beyond cookie cutter bean counter plain ugly

Best looking factory gauge pods I've ever seen

 Why were Vettes the only cars with igition system covers? Seems like a fine idea for noise supression of static to the radio

 Green shag carpet? Really? To hide the puke stains of the first time riders who get nausea from the ugly color?

 flip down tables... not a bad idea

Cool controls

 mid 60's Stang with early 70's Stang hubcaps, I've never seen that match up before

 These wrapped headers are pointing forward in a Pinto... it gives them all the needed room to get the collectors connected to the exhaust pipes

Modern Mopars have what is known as the "gunsight grill" but this Ford Fairlane grill center emblem seems to have beat them to the idea by 3 or 4 decades

denim Vespa and tool display from Chris's website - Speedseekers (NSFW though, look at this only at home, and not in front of the wife on Wednesday... )

 More 912s than I've ever seen parked together before

 the above and below belong to a 912 that has more than triple the documentation paperwork (aside from catalog and brochures) of any car I can remember ever seeing... and he brings the originals to car shows, ans when I asked him if he had copied all his originals for a backup, he replied no. Never thought about it, and seemed to think the idea not worthy of consideration. Idiot.

Just one dropped open bottle of water, one careless dog owner, one natural disaster (as San Diego is home to the nations largest wildfire ever, and an earthquake and tsunami zone)  etc etc etc and not a single piece of the irreplaceable purchasing, shipping, restoration, repair, registration, and prior ownership will ever be avilable again.

Think about your most important papers, and consider making a xerox copy of all of it to keep in a safe deposit box, or safe, or with family in another state. If you ever lose your originals, the easiest way to get them replaced with the right authorized ones is a xerox copy that can give you the phone numbers, id numbers, websites, account numbers, etc etc. Good advice I read years ago is to copy everything in your wallet or purse annually. You never know when you might lose or have it stolen... and the fastest way to cancel credit cards and accounts is the info on the cards that you won't have unless you xerox them

 Read he last couple of lines in the above.. .. risks of was, mines and torpedos

  From very stock concours perfect looking engine above, with what looks like a pair of flower watering can (well, that is what they remind me of) to gradually more performance modifications in this series of 912 engines from 4 to 6 cylinders

What the hell? I've never seen anyone paint the back of their license plate, and then flip it. What the point? Leave it right side out, get a vanity plate or logo plate, or take it off.
