Jim,

You will never get that 5 minutes back, dude. I wouldn't waste time responding to it. I've seen your RESTORATION work first-hand.

Wow beautiful ssps!

I have met that 92 CHP before in person, unbelievable sharp just like if it rolled off into service from being equipped! It brings back awesome memories of them being in service and seeing them flying 100+ past me on highway with lights blasting.

what are those ssp's? #3, #4, #6 and #9?

i believe #3 is 1986 Idaho State Police?

#3 (X) car is Idaho State Police 1986
#4 (X) car is Missouri State Highway Patrol 1988
#6 (X) car is Santa Clara County California 1991
#9 (X) car is Florida Highway Patrol 1993

thanks for your interest.

Cool cars thanks for posting pics.

LOL yeh I know but I felt compelled to put up some pictures.

and thanks for the compliment about my work. :)

Jim, when I suggested the creation of this section, your SSP's were one of the reasons behind my idea. I haven't dug through your photo hosting folders, so seeing your cars in one thread is really cool. Some of those cars I'm seeing for the first time, and they look great!

:2thumbs:

OMG -- Can you say awesome?

there are a couple of cars there I wish I had kept but I had different plans for the collection. Now that I have the ones I want I have a ton of work to do to get them all in the condition I like them to be in.

I thoroughly enjoyed loading up that 84 car yesterday and going to the show. The car is a blast to drive. Before I put the light bar, spotlight, and antennas on it Friday I took it out for a drive. I put about 20 miles on the car and even the cruise control works great. It is a solid little car that desperately needs a paint job. I was amazed at all the people that stopped and took tons of pictures of the car. It made quite an impression on many people. I guess the little double pancake light bar earned its keep. :)

In the early years of my collecting these cars (mid to late 90's) I learned that I enjoy finding these cars, researching the history, and puttering around the barn working on them. I am perfectly happy when I am in the barn taking one apart, refurbishing parts, installing equipment etc. Some people would rather be out driving them and going to shows and that is fine also. To each their own.

Well said Jim !!!! Our cars means different things to each person and how we enjoy them is no different !

You have had and still retain many that make us want more of these automobiles and I think all of us with wives or better halves will agree it is like a sickness for us, and we need "HELP" :yes:

"Thank You" for what you have contributed to the SSP Hobby !

Jim

Really nice cars. I hate to be a pain in the ass but is there any way I could see more pictures of that marked FHP car you pictured? Id love to see interior shots if you have them.

Thanks

Chris
