Greetings from New York (where people think you're very odd if you are into cars). Tight spaces and high rents have led me to an interest in small cars. I just sold my '48 Crosley Wagon but I'm getting a crosley-powered H-Mod special ready to go.

Sharp looking car. I got rid of a Morris Minor that was customized this spring. Now I've got a '74 MGB that I just got running. It's not quite that small, but at least it's fun and not another Honda. :)

I had fun with the Crosley -- but since it was "dead stock" I was hesitant to do much to it. And I decided that if I'm going to playout my mid-life crisis with a car -- it should be something slightly more sporty than a 44 cu. in. station wagon. (With the right effort, a Crosley can be taken up to 40-50 hp, but stock they only deliver about 25.)
My solution was two-fold. I went out and found a Berkeley Sport to drive around now, and I have a Crosley-powered H-Mod in the works.
Here's the Berk:

It's just over 10 feet long, weighs less than 800 lbs, and is powered by a 492cc Excelsior 2-stroke. It's a lot of fun.
