^the bigger one sprays Co2 and the smaller one is my nitrous pruge. In 90deg days if I turn it on it still frosts the intercooler.

this was my rocket for 10 years...just sold it last month.

1991 Toyota MR2 turbo. best dyno pull was 285Wheel HP. not bad for a light weight daily driver. car was very fun to drive.
 
In our vintage travel trailer pulled by our vintage Suburban:

Nice way to travel. Love the old air stream. I had a 1989 suberban. that thing was a tank 200,000 miles and all it ever needed was a new trans as the clutch packs went out after a year of pulling over loaded trailers to and from IL-IA.

Had to get rid of it as it was very rotted out. lost more tools thru the floor boards LOL It was running like a champ and burned no oil. :(
 
Nice race car Ian.

This is what I do all summer long...(I'm about a 10 handicap)

Nice cars everyone, looks like most of us are secretly gear heads of one kind. I normally continue working on the layout in the summer months but tend to do a lot more rail fanning. I just finished a mechanical restoration of this 1972 Plymouth Custom Suburban station wagon. My grandpa bought it new.

This Suburban has a new engine and transmission, new brakes, tires and wheels... The 7.4 engine, coincidentally, has a displacement that is common with the fuel mileage. 7.4L, 7.4 mpg... Pulls like, well, a train... Maybe the SD45 of tow vehicles...:rolleyes:
The Airstream only looks old because the shell is old. It has all modern amenities found on hew ones. For the money I have in the truck and camper, I could pay somebody to build my dream layout and equip it with DCC and sound equipped brass steam engines...:eek:
