'95 Nissan Altima

Our daily driver "Jill" (nickname inspired by the memory of my parents' first car, "Jack" a hybrid '41/'47 Chevy)...


...is a low mileage 90s surivor inherited from my cousin in NYC.


It survived the 240 mile trek but this rusty bit needed the attention of a body shop to pass MD state inspection. Soon after getting it titled and registered, the water pump and one of the electric fans seized, taking away the radiator. 

DIY

...so there's more budget left for folding bike parts, film, tubes, resistors, capacitors, etc. (toys) ;)


Got a brand new radiator and water pump locally, an original electric fan from the junkyard, wrenches and tools from Harbor Freight to get it back on the road, with help from my apprentice ;)

The car has taken us to the Baltimore/Washington, DC area, PA, NJ and back to NYC!

W198


Olympus E-P1 + Canon 28/3.5 LTM

Saw this car parked in front of our house ;o)
But seriously it is a privilege to be visited by such a fine car especially when driven by a violinist and avid classical music lover.

BMC cars were popular in the streets of 50s - 60s Manila. Aside from being middle class family transport, petrol or diesel A55s and A60s were operated as taxicabs. I was surprised to find this A55 Farina since many have been scrapped years ago. We had one and I learned to drive in it.

Austin Healey Sprite MK1 looks like an aborted restoration ...

I am glad to have taken these pictures...passed by recently and a house is being constructed on this once empty lot...all the cars are gone.
