Tom's Cars
A lifelong fascination
 |
My dad and I working on our VW Bus in 1974. |
The story from my parents was that the first word I ever spoke was "wheels". I guess it was downhill from there. :-) Growing up I played with BigWheels, HotWheels, bicycles, and pretty match anything else with wheels.
My first car, which is still my pride and joy, is a 1969 Volkswagen Bug (on the far right of the picture to your right). It was that car that launched me into the VW hobby. This car will be a constant project, with improvements done to it for my entire life. I have some great plans to make it a great street car, something that's fast but is also able to get me around town and on long distance trips.
My 1970 EMPI Imp dune buggy (pictured on the photo to the right, it's the bright yellow car on the left) is a car that never fails to attract attention going down the street. The Imp was EMPI's attempt to tap into the fiberglass dunebuggy market that Bruce Meyers created with his Manx. You can find more information on the Imp at my web site dedicated to the EMPI dunebuggies, the EMPI Imp Homepage.
You can also see my cars, along with photos, at CarDomain or at HubGarage. (By the way, in the photo to the right, the car in the middle is not mine. It's a '68 Mexican made Beetle that belongs to my friend Tim. Very cool car!)
