My wife won't let me have a Gas Pump in the house .....so this is what I have to settle for......it's a 1950 Whizzer Sportsman....Never has Gas in it.....These are the motor bikes that us old timers had to play with when we were kids.....this is a 20" model with a kick start pedal....drum brakes......internal generator for the lights....and a whopping 3 H.P.......got a couple more that I ride.....Down wind I can go 35 M.P.H......Anyhow....that's how my screen name came about many years ago because of the Whizzers.....

I couldn't resist this thread. This isn't a living room toy. It's my dining room toy. I had one of these when I was growing up. When I saw this on Ebay I had to have it! It's not the original color though. It should be blue with a white cove.

Way off topic, but...

Tom tells his buddy: "I'll take this broken CD player over to my buddy Wizz; he can fix it."

Buddy: "Do you call him Wizz because he is an electronics Wizard?"

Tom: "No. He has a bladder problem."

Ashamed to sign my name.

They are vintage. The floor is still junk. They are supposed to bring a shot blast machine in and remove it and then start over. The new coating will be the traditional gray fleck looking stuff.

Charlie,-I think the colors and details of your http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif cars will show up better with the lighter floor--JMO----------

I agree. I was going to add Halogen spot lighting over the cars because the blue really darkened the room but the lighter color will lighten it back up. The blue would have looked killer though.

Charlie,I think the floor looks. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gifBut the camera probably hides the imperfections.The lighter floor will bring out the colors in your cars better.The dark floor makes it look like you are going into a dark cave.Your storage facility should make most people envious. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif
