Vehicles

1988 911 Targa G50

Its trying to earn a name.... Purchased in Atlanta and drove home (view these in reverse), repainted and all new suspension, it it my second 911, first air cooled 911 I have owned. It has been in multiple rallyes and driven across country numerous times.

Hans Hans Driving

Hans is a Mercedes SL55 AMG. Purchased from a gentleman in Phoenix, its the second SL I have owned.

Coach of Indecision

Coach of Indecision is a Class C Coachman RV. Linda and I have remodeled the entire inside to make it ours! Pictures coming soon.

Airstream Indecision

We purchased Indecision brand new in 2018 from Airstream of Scottsdale. They are the best Airstream dealer hands down. We had some really great trips in Indecision! We sold Indecision to let someone else have some fun! Steve and Shelly will enjoy Indecision for years to come and they still keep in touch, I mean, how cool is that?!?!

Bahari

Bajari was my 1995 Range Rover Classic, so named due to the trips we took in it to Bahia de Las Angeles, Mexico. The kids and I called them our "Baja Safari's", thus "Bahari". This is also the vehicle that both of my kids learned to drive in and drove until they were out of high school.

Gordon More Gordon

Gordon was a birthday gift from my parents! It was a 1997 Land Rover Defender 90. My Father and close friend Jim picked it out for me and surprised me with it. "Stunned" just does not cover the feeling. His name has dual meaning, firstly Gordon Bashford originated the original Rover in 1951, and secondly due to my fondness of Gordon Sumner's music and lyrics.

Cabriolet

Unfortunatly I did not have the Cab long enough for it to earn a name, but it was a fun car. Ask me about its C4/C2 story. Deaaler I purchased it from gave me my money back as it was NOT a C4 and had seen an accident!

Rubicon

Really enjoyed the Unlimited Rubicon as it as it reminded me of my first Jeep "Spot" which I had in high school. It was a six speed manual which was a blast!

Jeepette

This was Linda's daily driver, so named because it was a smaller version of the Rubicon!
