This is my 1985 Mustang. One of my favorite cars! It was great cause it had T-tops, and had all the mods I would want - MSD ignition, 8.8 rear with true duals (Mac exhaust), Mac chrome headers, Edelbrock carb & intake with LX rear tailights. It was in great shape. It's my favorite as it was the last year of the carb setup. Would love another one! |

This was my first car in England. To Americans, it's a Scorpio - to the Brits it's a Granada. 1989. It was 5 speed equipped and came with a EFI 2.0 Pinto engine. A great all around car. Traded it in for my wife's new car in England |

This is my 1990 Sierra Sapphire 4x4. It was powered by a DOHC 2.0 engine called the I4 (not to be confused with the Cosworth). It was a great car but got tired of it when it blew a headgasket. 4WD was great though and was my second Sierra with 4WD (First was my old XR4x4) |

| Ah, my 'Grand National' - actually it's a 1986 T-type - same drivetrain without the same interior trim. This was a rare T-type - one of only 226 made that year (Bench seat/T-top/Black paint combo) Unfortunately, it was plagued with electrical maladies. But when it ran right, it was a KILLER!! Quickest car I ever owned. Did 13.62 in Atco racetrack!! Ended up selling it for nothing when leaving to England :( Pics shown above is when I bought it off the used car dealership in Brooklyn. |

My first Merkur I purchased in 1997. Purchased it when I couldnt swing a loan for a new Golf VR6. It had a busted headgasket and burnt-out clutch. Once I fixed it, it was wonderful. Using the IMON list I was able to upgrade the car to a TurboCoupe T5, TurboCoupe intercooler, TurboCoupe VAM, adjustable fuel regulator and a PE ECU. Interior had a Graham Goode white gauges and impeccible leather. Then I had the boost raised to 18psi and added the Cosworth vent (reversed) on top of the intercooler. It came with a Rapido rear red lens filler that fit between the tailights but it was cracked. Instead I put a German license plate and regional sticker on the back (along with a Grand National 'intercooled' badge) This sucker was perfect and fast. Sold it for almost $4000 since i was concerned it was just a matter of time before it was stolen off the streets of Brooklyn in 1998. |

| My famous London XR4Ti - my second Merkur (1986). Shipped from Arizona to London and then back to America where it was sold (New York). It had a slew of parts off the Cosworth. The hood scoop is from a Mustang SVO and it's fully functional. I sold it when I left America again. It had 4 wheel discs off a Sierra XR4x4 and it's 7" LSD diff. Front suspensions and discs off a Sierra Sapphire 2WD. Turbocoupe Intercooler, SVO VAM, PE chip, Bailey dump valve, K&N air filter and a rebuilt, uprated turbo. |
