I thought i would say hello to everyone on this site. I acquired a speedster a few months ago and am loving it. It was originally from a member on this site and don't know how many people it went through before i bought it.

Nice! An I particularly like the furry seat ornament.
Welcome to the Madness, Raffi!
Beautiful car
Welcome to the madness as Lane said. This is the place for car crazy people. Enjoy that beautiful car.
Welcome! Clean looking machine.
Vintage Speedster CA ultra-wide body from the early 2000s. Those are increasingly rare. Welcome!

Congratulations Raffi. I'm sure someone really cool owned that car. The guy probably had the late Roland Rascon build a bad ass 2275 for it too. I bet it was an mixed blood Italian, Polish, Hispanic dude from Chicago. That's my guess
Thank you everyone. And yes, Marty you guessed it a Rascon 2275 motor and a cool dude from Chicago.
my rascon 2275 was kick ass, had a hotter cam (125?) revved like nothing else..
I bet you bought it from Billy D and Marty owned it once I have the original wheels from it. It looks Great!! Hope you Enjoy it !!
You got it right Arden.
Welcome to the club! Great car.
Here are some early pictures of your car when Marty and Sandy drove it from Chicago to east Tennessee for our second run on the Tail of the Dragon in 2008. In the middle picture they're the third car back.
Good memories Lane! That car gets around.
A lot of people tend to be afraid of taking longer trips in these cars, thinking they're meant put around town on weekends only. These are real cars, folks. @ford356outlaw, you should meet us at one of our gatherings. Where are you located?
Hi Lane, great pics. I am just a hop, skip, and jump away in Los Angeles,CA. Technically porter ranch, ca. I would love to meet some folks and take the car out for a long drive. My little furry friend in one of my pics was ill and just recently just passed, so i pretty much was spending all my free time with him. Im also restoring a 67 mustang fastback and a 79 chromatic bronco. All that said i still want to start taking the speedster out, so if anyone is around my area please let me know.
So sorry to hear about your furry friend's passing. It seems that most of us on this forum are also dog lovers, and we can sympathize with your loss.
There are a whole bunch of the guys here in your vicinity, so you should have no shortage of group cruising opportunities. Enjoy!

Follow the link below and select "Sort by Geographical Area" When the box opens up enter your zip code and a search distance parameter. You will also need to specify which country you're in. It'll tell you which members are in your area. You can PM them or look for them here. Some may not be active. But if you send me your zip code I can tell you who is.

Welcome to the asylum. If you haven't already heard, two rules: First, go nuts, second, keep the shiny side up & keep it between the ditches.
It's been my experience many folks who post to this forum actually know how to do stuff and spin their own wrenches.
You ride looks serious.
