Welcome graphic

We've put this site up for friends and acquaintances we meet along the way.  Here you'll find pictures and stories from trips, adventures, Jim's car and motorcycle racing, and anything else that strikes our fancy.

We had our first date on the Cape Dory 26 "Odyssey IV", sailing out of Dana Point, Clifornia.  This photo was taken from Dick and Edith Hansen's Pacific Seacraft Dana 24.  Odyssey IV has moved to another owner, but we still spend days on the ocean out of Dana Point, in our Hobie Mirage-drive kayaks.

Lakes Modified Roadster

Here's the '26T Lakes Modified powered by a 1972 Toyota 2T-G Twin Cam engine.  Those are modified Camry seats.  The air scoop on the side is actually the heater, which draws warm air for the cockpit through the 1973 Corolla Air Conditioner.  The Moon tank in front of the radiator is "engine breather surge tank" in the right half, and windshield washer fluid in the left half. 
 
Be sure to click on the video (below) to see the very FIRST time the car moved under it's own power, as I drove it out of the shop!

Thanks for dropping by and taking a look at my photos.

Here's one of my other hobbies, under "The work of Jim Leininger" at John's Classic Bikes and Cars

See the Lakes Modified very first drive!
