Went to fire up the 88 Callaway today, first time in almost a year and it let me know right away that it does not like being dormant for so long. The lifter evidently bled down, and you should have heard the racket. This is a reminder that these puppies need to be driven every now and then or at least fired up. FYI if you ever experience lifter cladder after a long period of storage, allow the engine to idle for about 20 minutes or until the lifter stops ticking, don't rev the engine or go for a ride under those conditions. I let mine Idle for about 30 minutes and she's happy again. Need to take her for a spin later today. So I can wear one of these all week ---> :)

I'm getting sued by a few of my neighbors, yep ! today was bring out all the vettes day, and I had them all parked side by side for pictures, and one by one as they were driving by they ended up twisting their heads severely.:gap not to mention this almost caused a few fender benders as their eye balls were no longer in their sockets :Twist

Only thing that could make that picture better was to have our Callaway Bikini Contest Winner front and center in the photos. (ummm, we're still trying to locate her!) :L
 
DAMN!! I think I short circuited the Keyboard!!! You are one luck man! I agree with Eric, Where are the Bikini Girls??? One for each car should do nicely!!!
 
Thats is an awesome picture!!!:crazy Eric and UB2SLOW are both right, the only thing to improve that picture would be some bikini wearing chicks!!!
 
Woowwww Sam, you're one lucky guy!
Very cool picture, some bikinigirls would be nice :)
Looking at the picture you've got a very nice (style) house to!

Greets Peter.
 
Hey Sam
I have plenty of time I,ll come over and exercise all your cars ...I,d really like a Callaway one of these days....:beer
 
The stable is looking sweet Sam... but do find time to get out and drive those babies! I should talk, mine don't get much exercise either.
 
Thanks for the compliments guys:beer


Tim if you go for a ride in Callaway TT your gonna want one within 24 hours:D
 
Yes, these babies require regular care and feeding.

Nice eye candy in the yard!
