Mike's Old Car, Bike and Other Things Page

Welcome graphic

It's been a looooooong time since I have made any alterations to the site.  Sorry John, I'll do some new things and hopefully stay focused for now on.  

My New Life as a Grandfather

This is Michael, aka Bustle-Butt.

This page would not be complete without mention of the New York Mets and my main meat, Meat Loaf.

The Mets made history last Fall by losing a 7-8 game lead.  So far relatively few major moves this winter.  In Omar I trust, but we'd better get a top-line pitcher.

More Passion

I have been lucky enough to accumulate a couple of old cars.  The first and the most sentimental is the 1962 Plymouth Belvedere 4-door sedan with around 19,000 original miles on her.  Nancy,  my wife, actually got her for me and she is practically flawless.  Second is my newest car, a 1967 Chrysler Newport convertible.  She needs some work and will tear into it in the Spring, but I bought her mostly to cruise in, not show.
The cars are all in hibernation but have been started periodically this winter to keep 'em all greased up.  Below is a link to one of the area Car Show DJ'S and he conveniently lists all of the upcoming car shows.  Stop by if you around and check out the beautiful old-tin that still ply the roads in Illinois.   Also check out the WIAAC link.  I have been a member of this Car Club for almost 15 years.  Lots of nice people who enjoy old cars.  I also assist in the organization of the Railroad Days Car Show in Standish Park in Galesburg on the last Sunday in June every year.
