Never heard of trippers. Seems rather poor engineering considering how many motorcycles are out there.

I'm still not convinced it was actually done by any driver. It shows it all in sections of the loop and not one consistent view. I suppose it makes more dramatic viewing that way but it looks to me that it was pieced together with some very good editing and some digital faking. Again, I could be wrong.

Something looks fake about. I could be wrong. Is Schumacher a stunt driver and it implies he did this. Doubt he would be allowed.

I won't be back in NJ until June 6. June 13 is a show at Hellertown. There is a person out in PA who has a green Seven. John M. Heley in Quakertown. He wanted to join and had a few more 7 friends. Can anyone contact him? (215) 538-0500

This is great. I know it is early but I what to get it in the minds of as many as possible. Any route is fine with me. Bruce

Just early planning but anyone interested in another 7 drive? I suppose it does not have to be 7's alone but last year's was quite fun. Bruce

I get about 10 a day.

Shoot the hunter.

My exact thoughts. If the voters, by a majority, bring in someone then it seems all should try to work with what a majority wish. within reason. Instead the other party spends all its time trying to throw them out. And we start all over again. Bruce

I agree! Bruce

Very nice!!!. A few questions. 1) Does the camera have sound? 2) How many minutes will it run? 3) I assume it has its own battery and no tape just a card? Thanks. Bruce

Scams are starting as if no one expected that. Received an email with poor spelling and grammar from someone calling themselves crisis.relief with an office in NY but tel# is unlisted in Seattle. Wish these people would be caught and shipped to Haiti where they can live on the street for a few months punishment.

Thanks all. I can not believe one could win that often but seems so. I suppose the BLOND plate would be more obvious is she rolls the car over. Never thought to look at it upside down.

For anyone who likes football - why, when players introduce themselves, do they always give the college that they attended and sometimes when talked about by an announcer, a high school is also named? Some requirement or advertising for the college? I couldn't care less. Is it like when someone asks a NASCAR driver how was the track the answer is "I want to thank Lucas Oil, Ford, Craftsman Tools, Citco." Ok but how was the track? "I want to thank..." I wonder if the football helmets will get changed as they introduce themselves like hats get changed in NASCAR.

Can someone explain DNO 78 or is ONO 78. I don't get it. Also someone has plate IMLUCKY and says they are a "professional price winner. What the heck is a pro prize winner? Can you really make a living at it?

Someone did a nice job on that snow vehicle. I hope they get to use it a bit. Steve - a lot of that salt on the roads up there comes from Bonaire.

It never ceases to amaze me at the complete idiocy of the spectators.

Maybe it is the "simplicity" but I like the Formula 1 cars from those days far more than those now. Not as safe I am sure but just a cigar with wheels and an engine.

There may be a lot more to this story then shown.

A Modern Parable. A Japanese company ( Toyota ) and an American company (Ford Motors) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate > and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 7 people steering and 2 people rowing. Feeling a deeper study was in order; American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing. Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 2 > area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager. They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 2 people rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the 'Rowing Team Quality First Program,' with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rowers. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses. The pension program was trimmed to 'equal the competition' and some of the resultant savings were channeled into morale boosting programs and teamwork posters. The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American management laid-off one rower , halted development of a new canoe, sold all the paddles, and cancelled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses. The next year, try as he might, the lone designated rower was unable to even finish the race (having no paddles,) so he was laid off for unacceptable performance, all canoe equipment was sold and the next year's racing team was out-sourced to India. Sadly, the End. Here's something else to think about: Ford has spent the last thirty years moving all its factories out of the US , claiming they can't make money paying American wages. TOYOTA has spent the last thirty years building more than a dozen plants inside the US The last quarter's results: TOYOTA makes 4 billion in profits while Ford racked up 9 billion in losses. Ford folks are still scratching their heads, and collecting bonuses... IF THIS WEREN'T SO TRUE IT MIGHT BE FUNNY

Great tips. Thanks Bruce

Just heard no more Saabs. Hate to see so many marques ending. Bruce

Mine won't be installed until summer. I am wondering the same thing. Guess I'll find out then. I am assuming I will need to unsnap the top few and let it fold down. Or I may be able to "jump" over it. I don't like the idea of using snaps too often though. Seems they break a lot. I really do not like driving with the full doors at all Bruce

Extra front snap sounds like a good idea. Thanks Bruce

Al - we still need to get a drive together. Maybe this summer. Bruce
