My things that go vroooom list.

I kinda stole the idea from KC but thought I should start my own list so I dont start forgetting anything.

So this is a list of everything I've owned that has had a motor in it at some point and wheels that spent some time on the ground.



1. 197? Sears 5hp Big Wheel

2. 1986 YZ80
- Damn that thing was fast till I blew the motor and put a '92 in it than it was bagged

3. 1981 YZ250
- Kind of a big leap since I was only 12 but got used to it pretty quick since it whooped all the other bikes in town.

4. 1987 Suzuki Samurai (Smurf)
- No one could believe the punishment that thing went through and kept on ticking till it broke a leaf spring one -40C morning driving to work when it jumped the old backroads creek bridge for the last time.

4.5- 2003 Pontiac Sunfire GT
Kind of on loan from my boss (owned a used car dealership) with intention to buy before the Jeep came in on trade.

5. 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier (Silver Bullet)
- The old silver bullet saw alot of partying the summer between grade 11 and 12

6. 1994 Jeep YJ (Piece of $**t, well thats mainly what I screamed at it)
- 2" body lift, 31" BFG A/T and lots and lots of pretty chrome. I had it for the summer it rained all but two days. Too heavy compared to the zuke for mudding and too lite for the size in the winter. Lots of broken parts.
Needless to say that was and will be the LAST Jeep I ever own!!!

7. 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix (Black Beauty)
- Sold the Jeep for tuition for the new and exciting University life and adopted my grandma's car that wasnt being used.

8. 1991 Suzuki Samurai (Nuclear Banana)
- Had the a fuel injection type system which was alot more powerful but could never get it to run properly. I drove that thing 8hrs back and forth to the rigs with no radio and a severely ripped top and a broken window. Than I buried it deep in a bog out by our farm and sold it 'as is' to my dads buddy.

9. 1985 CR250
- Got it cheap cause it ran funny. Just turned the reeds around and she was a rocket.
Than when I went to sell it the silly city slicker was cracking on it down the road cold and by the time he got it wide open it had warmed up enough and when he went to turn around on the pavement he cracked it from a stand still in 1st and broke the peg, handlebars, his wrist and ankle..... and to top it off he was out $1200 and I had sold my bike

10. 1974 F250 Highboy 360ci (Rover)
- Pimped that thing out with a cheap deck and 2 6x9's (Fanciest set up yet... heat and a radio I was in heaven) But for 800km $400 dollars in fuel was getting a little silly, that 360 was an absolute pig.

11. 1992 Suzuki Swift (Xena)
- $175 for the car and about 6hrs and another $150 in parts and I had a money saver. Again no radio and quite lacking in the heat department. Well I had to treat myself for my 19th Birthday!

12. 1986 Suzuki Samurai
- This one had a lift already and not too much rust plus I got a good '89 parts zuke with it too. I've spent countless hrs and probably a good $1000 (parts are very cheap) on this rig so far and finally got it safetied this year. Than I broke another leaf spring jumping/climbing a hill and the drive shaft slipped out when the axle dropped down and hit the dirt causing it too spontaneously combust. Who'd a thunk?
- But I have big plans for this bad boy including a 1.9 Turbo VW diesel.... now I just have to find the time somewhere between being on the road working and looking after my rentals when I do make it home

12.5- 1989 Parts Samurai
- 2 became 1

13. 2005 Yamaha R1 (Shanequa)
- FAST!
- My first crotch rocket. It hit the ground with 9kms on it.... yes 9. I almost made it to the gas station from the dealership. Didnt take me long to master that thing though. Did some cosmetic mods and perf. mods. Windscreen, rearsets, frame sliders, steering dampener, dropped a tooth on the front sprocket. Now I get out to track day whenever I can. They want me to start actually racing but I just aint home enough.

14. 2005 F250 FX4 Lariat 6.0L (George)
- My baby. Well I lifted it 6" but 37"s on it and but a new intake, throttle body spacer, 5" turbo back, Bullydog PMT, and have lots of plans for mine and George's wonderful future together.

15. 2007 Motovert Expert 125cc (Elmo)
- These pitbikes are crazy fast and are they ever a blast, but I seem to get hurt more on these things than I ever have on anything else.

I currently still have the '86 Samurai, '05 R1, Pitbike, and than the 6.0L as a daily driver.


I've got a video of my F250, my latest zuke and a very short clip of one of my crashes at the track on the R1. They are all up on my youtube profile. Dont be shy to check it out.
