North Side Mustang Car Club slows down to talk, and we have Konrad's Car Clinic in the feature. Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Car clubs are a great way to hang with other automotive enthusiast doing automotive enthusiast things. It is always a social gathering, whether it is a competitive event or just a 'cruise'. We like to look at what other car people have come up with, sometimes steal their ideas and then make them our own. We like to show others what we have built...which is about a lot of things we humans do.
There are a lot of car clubs in Houston, not as many as before, but still a lot. One of the most active has to be the North Side Mustang Car Club. The newest President, Vernon Wilhelm, joins us to let us know about some of the events, but also how, they have a growing club. Membership on the rise is always a good sign.
In our Feature segment, it is Konrad's Car Clinic, where we are learning about brakes and Four Questions often asked'.

Champions Hot Rod Car Club is here! We talk Classic Car Prices Mar 19, 2023

Show notes

On this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk, we are speaking with Bryan Sims, President of the Champions Hot Rod Car Club.
Along with monthly meetings, this club will host several car shows each year, with the Spring event being 3/26/2023, this year.
The show is an open show, but they do things a little different. The members of the club that are 'working' the show are not allowed to compete - against the public. The club actually sets up a mini show within the show, with the public making a "People's Choice" award. Each attendee is given a ticket with which to cast their vote for club members vehicles that are separated from the rest. There are no names, no placards, no displays, just vehicles for the public to enjoy. This keeps the club workers involved without totally missing out on the car show experience just because they are working to make it a great show. This is a great idea!
In our Feature Segment, we look at some of the Classic Car Prices and we talk about recalls...

The Meyers Manx, the original dune buggy is set to make a comeback as a Manx 2.O! Mar 17, 2023

Show notes

Born on the beach of California, the small fiberglass dune buggy was great for open air beach going or other off-roading. The original was a simple VW Beetle cut down to fit and it was so popular, seems everyone copied the original.
The original, the Manx, was created by Bruce Manx and it can be seen with Steve McQueen behind the wheel and Elvis also drove one in a movie...both men kept it after the movie wrapped!
The new Manx 2.0 is an all new design based on the original, which can be found as a 'Remastered Original' according to Freeman Thomas, the current Meyers Manx, CEO.
Great idea for a kit car with a lot of heritage and should be one of the more simple kits to assemble. Then there is the Manx 2.0....

Gassers are making a comeback, but what is that? We have a review of the 2023 Mazda CX30 Turbo! Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

The term 'gasser' seems to have some variations on definition - what is a gasser? Joining us on this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk, Quinn Stott joins us to help define what a gasser is - where the name comes from.
Quinn is running a 1948 Anglia with a straight front axle, a 388 small block, 4-speed manual tranny running on gas, as in gasoline. With a history of IHRA Championships, betting this is one quick ride that is fun to watch.

Here comes the Texas Mile! Shannon Matus has an update and later it is Konrad's Car Clinic. Mar 15, 2023

Show notes

Ever want to just get out and see how fast your ride will go? No speed limits in a safe, or as safe as possible scenario?
Twice a year, you can almost do that at an event called the Texas Mile. A top speed event where you can run what you brung ... if it meets safety requirements. Don't need anyone hurt, so some basic safety rules have to be in place.
Shannon Matus joins us with more on this event, where there have been as many as 162 vehicles registered to go fast, but only 26 actually went over 200 mph. That means that is you have a helmet, a seat belt, a vehicle that will pass safety inspection for everyone's protection, and you can prove you are of sound body, you can literally go as fast as you want. Check this out!
In our feature segment, it is Konrad's Car Clinic, and we are talking tire safety, particularly what is an 'old' tire? even with tread?
