I'll be last...
This morning before breakfast - wife Barbara and Blitz the Aussie. Barb sitting on her 5.5hp Powersport mini, her 99' 4.6 HSE, my 95' 993 'fixer-upper' and 99 4.0 SE 'trash hauler'. (She just sold her black 95' Impalla SS which was seriously fast car with only a Flowmaster exhaust + K&N & minor brake upgrade;^)
We are both retired Naval Officers, with masters degrees and now bored dinks. She works for missile defense agency, I work for office of sec def. I shoot competitive clay targets - she rides her horse. And so on...this is a great forum

Well...I got this little 2.8hp mini doodle and typical of american hot rodders, just had to have more engine. Yanked the the 2.8 and installed a 5.5HP tecumseh Powersport + Comet automatic clutch system. Very easy to ride and is perfect to putt around our 2 mile private road. It's funny to watch her smile when she rides it - I'm convinced it's the vibration of the stupid thing:^) I just bought a complete vintage Tote Gote frame - am taking it down to parade rest and will have it beaded and powdercoated in the same color green that I recall the one we lucky to share as kids.
But I've got this 993 fixxer-upper that is taking a lot of my 'spare'time lately!
BTW: I am a telecaster guitar freak if anybody out there wants to unload one...

My main sea tour consisted of 2 yrs aboard USS Tarawa - rest of the time flying these (and survived)
