    Just before the Turkey Run last year, this olelongrooffan shared with my fellow Hoons the fact that I had, indeed, purchased another means of transportation from a junkyard. Yeah, my daily driver Comanche was, until then, the most recent purchase following the wrecked E30 I salvaged for a boat load of parts and ebay stuff…

    So this olelongrooffan was checking out the back lot of the place where I am, finally, gainfully employed and I spotted this curvaceous beauty and thought I might share it with my fellow Hoons. Kind of a V.I.S.I.T. post but in the parking lot.

    So, this olelongrooffan has previously shared that I spent a wonderful weekend with my daughter down in Naples, Florida a few weeks ago.  We spent the day on Saturday cruisin’ around checking out all things automotive.  At Dr. Johnny’s, “The Other Hospital on 4th Avenue” where we spotted that yellow LaSalle with the suicide doors,…

    So, a few weeks ago this olelongrooffan attended an absolutely overwhelming car show here in the World Center of Racing. I gathered up nearly 300 images and I am still sorting through them.

    Well my fellow Hoons, the Head Hoonitender hollered Last Call a bit early this evening just as this olelongrooffan was getting my groove on. However a whiles back the Hooniverse Overlords were a bit lax and gave me a key to the kegbox so I’m offering a free posting to all. As a result, I…

    Why don’t any manufacturers have square wheels anymore?  Or push button transmissions?  A few weeks ago this olelongrooffan was strolling around a junkyard up in the cold white north and spotted this beauty.

    So, the other day this olelongrooffan was out and about doing what, I don’t remember. But I do remember seeing this beauty in the parking lot of my local beachside filling station. (When was the last time my fellow Hoons heard a gas station referred to as that? I love my ole man.) Anyway, in…

    As is often the case at car shows, often times what’s seen in the lot is just as cool as what is in the show itself.  The car show this olelongrooffan attended on Saturday was no exception.  Yes, my fellow Hoons, that is a bright pink sedan in the background of the above image.

    This olelongrooffan loves some Cinquecento goodness (the ABARTH with the bunch in the trunk Kamil captured at the NYIAS kept me squirming in my office chair all day long) but the red top on this one is just, well, over the top. img src= this olelongrooffan Image Copyright 2012/Hooniverse/longrooffan
