New to the forum and the brand

Hello Everyone,

First post here, but I'll be lurking and hope to be more active as I gain more knowledge and experience. I purchased a 1990 Testarossa in CA about a month ago, and I will be moving from OH to CA in a couple months for a job.

Vehicles have always been an interest and hobby of mine growing up and I turned it into a career in the automotive industry. I have an infatuation with vehicles from the 80s and 90s, and buying the TR was a childhood dream, poster on the bedroom wall, coming true.

Plans for the vehicle:
Exterior and Interior Detail
Capristo FreeFlow Exhaust (stock is way too quite for me)
Drive it


Cheers,
MIKE!

Hello!

 

Here is the current fleet --

 

Welcome to the party buddy! Mike and I go back years, very knowledgeable and educated car guy with a fantastic appreciation for eclectic cars. We’ve waxed poetic for years about getting f-cars and he followed suit after I got my 348 in November. Somehow we need to get both our ‘90s together for a pic. Might be hard given one is in OH and one is in CA!

what year is the honda bike? never have seen such model

 

1980 Honda Trail 110. This was my Covid quarantine project. It had been left on the side of a barn for years with bad tires, brakes, seat, etc etc, and a carb that was all gunked up. I rebuilt the bike, learned how to ride, and took my motorcycle license test on it.

Honda re-released the model in 2021 as a Trail 125.

 

Is that Del Griffith's car? Lebaron Town and Country? LMAO

Hahaha amazing. Congrats on the car. What part of Ohio are you in?

 

I went to Ohio State for undergrad and then I stayed in central Ohio.

I heard the west coast is the best coast though! (I'm already drinking the kool-aid)

 

Update:

Sold the C5Z
911 transported to SoCal
Ordered a Capristo from Yellow Compass
Interior cleaned up a little

 

After a long trip from Germany, the Capristo needed to relax and unwind on the couch.

Purchased from Yellow Compass on the forum. Super happy with the transaction. Great pricing, communication, and attention to detail.

 

Welcome Mike
