.HI I AM SHANE,   THESE ARE WEB PAGES SHOWING CARS I HAVE NOW AND HAVE DRIVEN OR SOLD IN THE PAST.

2006 a new start for my hobby.I am trying to retire from nearly 20 years of being a chef and owner of a small cafe,I hope to keep finding old British Classics and dust them off, tweek them up and see who remembers their youth, and maybe find a new generation who will love them as much as we do!!

The first car I bought after high school was a 1959 TR3 it was silver, but ended up red. As I recall, I did more repair and towing of the car because I was naïve. I thought you could get into a British Sports car and drive it! After a few years, and a few more British vehicles, I know better!!!

     After several years of stop and go adventures in the TR, I acquired a 1958 MGA. Maggie was the most dependable car I think I ever owned, regardless of country of origin. I bought her for $700.I drove that car all over the state but only learned to love the car not repair it because it never broke down!! It was sold with the TR3 the carbs-in-a-box, both for $2000. I was to get a family car .An instant family and a move to Texas was the end of the early days. I have learned much more about fixing them in my last 10 years!

     In the 80s, I tried a MGC-GT. What a hot car!!! Not being a convertible, that 6 cylinder roasted my toes. It had to go! In the 90s an MGB-GT,a '71, held together with bailing wire and, actually, duct tape, rust red, was holding the rocker panels on!! For only another $700,that resto wreck lasted until I was able to find and afford a '72 TR6, but that is a story unto itself.

     So to understate, you donï¿½t just hop in your British sports car and go!!A dedicated driver checks all recommended fluid levels,then starts the car, ahh what a sound.closes the bonnet and is patient. The S.U.s or Strombergs need to warm to operating temps!! Only now will you be able to enjoy your adventure. You can go anywhere.. Provided you have a cell phone, credit card and AAA.

    So scroll down and just click on the links below for new photos and cars currently being worked on or ready to roll also pics of past beauties.

	FOR SALE…1987 ALFA ROMEO MILANO This is an Arizona car that was being restored in Milwaukee when the owner died suddenly. I bought the car hoping the clutch fluid leak would solve the shifting problems. After a fluid change and Lucas tyranny fixer a rear line replacement it is shifting better. I have been told by the trany man I have lost syncros in 2nd and 3rd. Now the clutch is acting up especially when cold.

	THIS IS AN E-MAIL FROM THE BUYER OF THE 72 MGB…This is what makes me keep wanting to do this and also why I don’t want to SELL any of them!!!! Shane, The car is great, more than I hoped for. The paint job and color is simply breath-taking. I cleaned up the car , detailed it (NO WAX) and entered it in a local British car show and would you believe it took "BEST IN SHOW", I was astonished, best in show,WOW. That orange color is unbelievable, everyone who sees the color falls in love with it. When I told my neighbor the color was orange, he said" do you think you really want an orange car". He came over yesterday and said, John, I never thought I would say this but that color is beaitiful. Thanks again for a very nice car and best regards, John.
