    Love it dude! You're doing a great job with that truck
  4. Just ended. Lets just say, you guys are in for a real treat. Episode was pretty nice
  5. New season premiers tonight. Not sure when its on in your time zone, but It's on here right now. Who else is gonna watch?
  6. It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum. I'm all outta that stuff. LoL I'm arguing with them right now about them. :P lol I'm winning right now.
  7. Yep, 35MM and Spool type Did some research and determined it must be either a Lecia II or III. They started manufacturing them in 1932 so this one could have been made anytime from 1932-47 when it was purchased. Very cool man! Guess I'll have to get my parents to dig out the rest of the cool cameras they're hiding. I know theres an old video camera from the 30's hidden somewhere. Also an old Polaroid too. My parents always hide the good shit. lol
  8. Thanks man! If you're really interested in getting rid of some old cameras, just PM me a price and sometime in the future I may be interested in buying. I LOVE the look of new cars taken from old cameras.
  9. Ta daaaaaaa!!!!!!! Datsun is at about 11 minuets. http://www.myclassiccar.com/video/ Didn't realize until right now but I almost went to that event! Fucking pissed that I didn't now. Heard it was awesome.
  10. Manuals are about as good as you are lol Since you control it, you can't really get it wrong once you get a feel for it.
  11. Oh, I didn't buy this. It's been in my family since '47. The one I bought was a Nikon N65 SLR
  12. After my mom saw that I was looking up old film cameras on Ebay last night and bought one, she pulled this out. This camera is a VERY old 1947 Leica camera built in Germany. It belonged to my grandpa that bought it when he was stationed over in Germany in World War 2. It's in perfect condition without a scratch on it. It's basically a piece of history. The camera's have become virtually impossible to find since they are old and not many survived. I've been talking with my mother about taking it to a professional camera service place to have it oiled and cleaned and restored to "like new condition" for the internals. Works as is, but better off serviced. After that, I'm going to see about getting some low speed film for it and getting some shots of old school cars in the future. Datsun's primarily. Could you imagine what a fucking Ferrari would look like taken from this camera? You really have to see it in person to appreciate it as I do. It's in such excellent condition that it's almost hard to believe. All the original documentation is with the camera and intact as well as the original sales receipt for $57. It also has my grandfathers Social Security Number on the bottom, so the camera will NEVER be sold and will remain in the family until the end of time. I figured some of you guys that are real big into vintage stuff and photography in general would really appreciate it. Now for the pictures. They aren't the best quality, but I will try and take more when I find my good camera. It had another piece of documentation with it, however it was so worn that I was afraid to open it. Both need to be framed. This is the bag it's all stored in. It has an add on the back side for a Dallas Cowboys game in 1993. Yes, I used to live in Texas.
  13. Just bought a mint condition Nikon N65 SLR on ebay for $50.50. Fuck yeah!!

  14. Well of course ;) Just let me know when you feel your skillz are developed and I'll pay ya well :)
  15. In the future, if you need a car to practice cages in, I'll happily volunteer my 210
