Hi all, I'm John and have been playing with Oldsmobiles since about 1982. My first Olds came when I found a 1970 Rallye 350 being eaten by blackberry vines. I didn't know what it was but thought it looked like a cool car so I bought it and drug it home. Since then I've been collecting cars and parts, mostly 1964-77. I emphasize collecting since I've only restored one car and have a driveway full of projects I want to do someday.... I live in Medford Oregon which is fairly dry country and about 300 miles from the nearest melting pot, so there's still old iron laying around. My intention was to drag home parts cars, keep what I need and sell the rest to pay for rebuilding the cars I want to keep. The problem has been that I've drug home too many and am spending all my time parting things out and filling my garage with parts. In case you haven't guessed I'm single, so I have the time to play in the driveway (since the garage is now full!). I really enjoy the car hobby and if anybody is passing through and has the time please stop by. Who knows, you may find something you can't live without! Oh yeah, I'm 48 and work in Forestry. In the last few years I got a good enough position that I can spend some money on my hobby after the bills have been paid!
