Re: Post your Oldschool ride!
Heres a few of mine.
85 28 SS, 355's, b&w trannies, TRS Drives. These pictures show the old 3 1/2 in. Gil dry pipes. I replaced them with 4 in. Stainless Marine. I'll post some updated pics next week when I get it back from the shop.

Heres my friend T-Mone's 24 Pantera. It's not that old but it's a classic design. Two of the pictures suck because they were taken from a video still. I wish I knew how to post videos.

You are right to say Offshore was Offshore.
I remember when in Viareggio in 1993 the race was cancelled because a stormy weather.
That year the old offshore style race,the Viareggio-Bastia-Viareggio,should have been the greatest races of ever,with a big battle between a band of fighting cats and mono across the Mediterranean Sea.
The storm ended a dream.....for ever.

Thank you Marco -
Hope you do find Walter or a way I can contact him.
I was there for the Viareggio race - I remember how windy and stormy the sea was - and I just could not wait to get flying to film it all - it would have been a Classic event for sure - I was always impressed by the Hospitality from all of the Italian teams - your kitchens - your warm hospitality will not be forgotten - I have many fond memories of flying from London to the various events by Helicopter - some times it took two days each way to get to an event such as Malta - and flying over water for many hours at a time, was quite scary at times, specially in a single engine Jet Ranger. Here is a photo taken flying thru the Alps in Switzerland - on our way from London to Milan, then south to Genoa and on to Viareggio - the photo taken in July too -
offshore was Offshore - in the 1980s and early 1990s - a shame it has become a circut in-shore so much now - compass's are not needed anymore - Speed was not important - it was who could get there in one piece in any conditions -

One of the baddest. I know I post this link all the time, but I just can't get enough of this boat.
