Studebaker Show - Anaheim 2006

May 30, 2006 5 Replies

This is my first attempt at contacting your group, although I must confess to having a real interest in reading your carry ons, your mumblings, political viewpoints and good humoured posts to each other. I know I talk as an outsider looking in because unlike the obvious mechanical talents of the likes of Nate, JP or Jeff(Whoever he wants to be) Rice, I cant restore things successfully, so am only hoping to be able to afford to buy something really top shelf some day. Besides this brief intro as to who I am perhaps I should add that I live in South Australia far away from events that you guys can attend on an annual basis. So because of my lack of experience with the Studebakers but a growing admiration for what these great automotive pieces mean to each of us, I only have libraries of great photos. What I found today in a newsgroup known as alt.binaries.pictures.autos was and is the most amazing collection of Studebaker photos from a post belonging to a bloke who calls himself Zinc that I can say I have ever seen. My question to you fellas over there is : Could some of you try identifying cars and people that you know , or are regulars of this group and let the rest of us put faces to your names or your cars. Or even some history on the vehicles you identify. Hope you get to see the collection of 63 Avantes, JP .Worth every second it takes to download!!



Regards to you all

I'm blushing! seriously, if I were a master mechanic I'd post a lot less as I'd just know exactly what to do and do it :)

I am a bit proud of myself after firing that engine I bought from JP yesterday though; I helped him put it together from a box of parts and rebuilt all the accessories (fuel pump, carb, etc.) myself, so I've seen pretty much every working bit of the engine. OK, I'll stop patting myself on the back now.

I hope they're still on my nntp server in a couple days.. can't access binary groups anywhere but from my home computer :(
