Alex and Sandy need help finding a Frontenac SR overhead cam and a 1909 Phoenix rear axle for a 2 cylinder 8/10hp

That Phoenix is frustrating, since a stranger offered one years ago to Alex at Beaulieu (England vintage car swap meet)  before we found that car, when he was looking for a different Phoenix axle. Ads through the Veteran Car Club and a lot of personal inquiries to re-connect with that man have not helped. What we need is the rear axle for a chain drive 1909 2-cyl Phoenix 8/10hp.

(Alex and Sandy got this 1909 Phoenix but all there was left from a 100 years of neglect was the engine, radiator, and frame)

 Also we appreciate any help in tracking down a Frontenac SR overhead cam. We have attached a couple of photographs that show what we need. The cam sits on top of the towers which are part of a plate located on top of the cylinder head, and then there are the gears and chain drive on the front of the block.

really good looking station wagon, really cool subwoofer in the cooler!

facebook has a lot of funny stuff getting posted

baseball bat to the fender?

a story I've never heard before about WW2 pilots, some went back to war, flying for Israel, and creating the first Israeli Air Force to liberate Israelis and create a new country

They didn't have much for airplanes, some German ME-109s that were left in Chekoslovaki. The volunteer pilots from foreign countries were called "Machal"

Bomberosa means fire department in Mexico, evidently

In TiJuana yesterday, I spotted some unusual buses. They have Semi-Truck exhaust stacks, and one has a trunk lid wing from a Honda or Toyota

Any cool little things like these get my attention and remind me of the Malta busses

Much better storyline in the French trailer

more cool and unique stuff I photographed at Viva Las Vegas

isn't it ironic that a license plate touting the "Colorful" nature of it's state, should be so drab?

the right rims, set the car off just right

I don't think I've seen artillery wheels on a truck before
