Nice cars! They look great just in the pictures, all the better when I'm a university student living at home, driving the family car, trying to save up by working seasonal jobs.

It's always heartening to know that at least some people who own these cars actually know and care about them, unlike the wankers who drive them to look cool.

Thanks, but you gotta know I was in the same place as you once. Driving Mom and Dad's car and then I got my first car, a 1956 2 door Chevy with a 265c.i. and a 4 speed on the floor with a Hurst shifter! I thought I had gone to heaven. It's all relative.... some day,if you study and work hard...... some 17 year old might be saying the same about you cars! Good luck, Michael

amazing stories !

good to see there are still supercar-owners with the heart in the right place !

all supercar-owners ( a jag and a porsche 911, can't really call it a supercar, but so what) I know are Jerks

they get pissed when the kids in our street are playing football or skating when they have to pass ... the start beeping the horn and make them scare ... and then they push the pedal down ... in a 30km/h-zone

I personally don't know any supercar owners whatsoever, except for the bloke with the Rolls Royce convertible, but that's not really a supercar and I've only met him three times.

Default 'Murderer's Row' is coming!

TT, Jabba and all who have asked..... It was a beautiful day here in Ohio and I did what many of you have asked for. A group shot of my cars.... actually 27 pics of group shots of my cars from many different angles and heights (that's a little surprize!) I'm hopefully going to do a post tomorrow about the pics and then the 'Master Blaster' picture 'swami', TT himself, will magically add these pictures to my post! Please stand by. I think you'll like them!

I have nicknamed the pics 'Murderer's Row' honoring the memory of the 1927 New York Yankees baseball teams unbelieveable batting line-up. No, I'm not a Yankees fan..... I just give credit where credit is due! I'm a die-hard Cleveland Indians fan and always will be. If they lost every single game, I'd be crying in my beer but I'd still be their fan! BUT.... watch out everybody..... this is their year!!!

Please be patient! My post should be on hopefully sometime tomorrow. Michael

p.s. Thank you... Thank you... Thank you... for all the hits. Your interest and replies are greatly appreciated by me and TT and Jabba and all the CARS!!

It was a great day out there... spent the whole spare time cleaning the auto (first time since last september LOL)

about the Indians...
I feel exactly the same way abou the Detroit Tigers ops: im too young to personally recolect the glory days of the 84 Tigers... so i remember the glory days of the 91-93 Tigers... good enough to win, but always let us down late in the playoffs... and pre-steroids 51 home runs... just an amazing team at that time... i can still name about 80% of the starting line-up

look forward to seeing the pictures; and of course... I LOVE reading this topic

I've just read several of magwheel's post and damn they are very informative. I guess I have a lot of reading to do to catch up on all the stories. The one's I've read so far are amazing. Great to have you here and I hope you decide on getting the McLaren F1. That is my dream car. The closest I think I will ever get to one would be if you get one and type out one of those great reviews of yours to allow people like me to semi-experience the feeling of being in one.

Default Group Pictures Of My Cars - a.k.a. 'MURDERER'S ROW'!

Hi Everybody, Well it was a beautiful day here in Poland, Ohio yesterday, so I decided to do what a whole lot of you have asked for..... a group picture of all my cars or as I humorously refer to it.... 'Murderer's Row'! Again, I have nicknamed the pics 'Murderer's Row' honoring the memory of the 1927 New York Yankees baseball team and its unbelieveable batting line-up and reputation. It just sounded so appropriate because all of the cars potential and respectability and how they looked in their 'Line-Up'!.

I wasn't sure how I was going to accomplish this task. I tried to line them up close together but my drive is so narrow (only 9-10 feet - love it that way), some of the cars overhung onto the grass. But, they came out pretty good if I must say so myself.

It was kinda wierd taking the pics because the cars seemed so small in the viewfinder trying to get them all in the same frame. I took several different angles and even climbed atop an 10 foot step ladder to get some overhead shots of the fronts and backs and to give you a different perspective of the cars. I also thought it was best to spread the colors out instead of having the two Reds and two Silvers together. Boy, my 'ole' Porsche GT2 in Yellow sure would have added the final 'missing' color in this line-up but unfortunately she's in California with a new owner.

I wanted the initial post of these pictures to be here on JabbasWorld because all of you were the first to embrace me so kindly as a member and friend (of course, only after I gave you a blood sample, a DNA test, a urine sample, a Polygraph test and wriiten testaments from all my kin - hmmm... some of which declined knowing me)!

The fact that I've gotten tons of hits and huge amounts of replies and compliments from all of you, has really inspired me to do more and more and the best possible job I could do within my photographic capabilities.

Thank you all for becoming my friend wherever you live in this very small world and sharing 'YOUR' time with me too!! Your friend, Michael

p.s. Damn.... I forgot the manuals and keys picture! Oh well...... here we go again!

p.s.s. TT will be adding the pictures shortly and then later today or tomorrow, I will be sending in pictures of my past cars, my home, our dogs, the landscape around us and some of its inhabitants (the different animals who visit us) and of course, the person who was responsible for giving me the capability to have all these wonderful cars and grounds, my FATHER! A little more on Dad later. Enjoy the pictures!

Hey Insane, Well, hopefully this will be the shot of medicine that will cure your ills! Where in the world is Tallinn?

That's what I really like about JabbasWorld..... I send you guys pictures and you send me to school with geography lessons. Seems like a fair trade to me! Michael
