About
Me
Do
you love the smell of two-stroke in the morning? Are you a fan of
small engines and automobiles? Well, these things describe me. Outboards
were my first real interest followed in later years by mopeds and
then cars. (okay, tractors, lawn-mowers & I would love to get
my hands on an airplane!)
Since I was a kid, I have not been happy unless I had a little grease
under my nails. I got my first outboards when I was about 9 ( 30+
years ago), a 1958 Elgin 2hp, and bought my first car at age 13.
I couldn't drive it LEGALLY, but I could sure take it apart and
get my hands good and cut up. It was a 1964 VW Beetle. I have also
tinkered with antique yard equipment, motorcycles and even some
heavy machinery.
A good weekend at yardsales!
Looking around my site, you'll see my various collections along
with data, some stories, and hopefully, some helpful information.
I recall how great it was when I found the one person in the world
who seemed to have information on a weird Russian outboard I had
just found and could not even identify, so I hope I can offer that
same type of interesting background and guidance to others.

I am a member of several clubs, all of which have been more than
helpful in my various projects. First, there is the Antique
Outboard Motor Club. A great resource for my Subaru 360 restoration
project is the Subaru
360 Drivers Club, and for our Volvo there is the Volvo
Club of America.
