  1. Saw this pic and thought I would add to this thread.. got it from here ("50 Great Auto Pictures") http://www.unstage.com/2010/03/50-great-examples-of-automotive-photography/
  2. I remember, as a marine brat in the late 60s, taking a truck similar to that out in the middle of the desert for a boyscout campover. I was thinking that as the wars wind down (hopefully they are) there should be some good deals on surplus military stuff.
  3. Yikes! Too bad you didn't have more time with it after that major rebuild... 3rd time's the charm;)
  4. 2Gs turns... I don't think I've ever felt that!

    Suguino's 7

    Didn't he have a trick truck/trailer set up to go with it?
  6. That is sweeeet! If I had $$$$, I'd go thru one of each type car these guys make. http://race-car-replicas.com/
  7. It's for a motorbike but you got to admire his narrative skills
  8. Thanks for sparing me John... keep up the vigilance
  9. I don't understand the need to keep paving more of the road.... it kind of skews the time records when they do that. Plus it just makes them go faster. The combination of surfaces is what makes Pikes Peak to me. Perhaps it's for the locals that have to drive it regularly.
  10. John, Don't know if you remember this thread about teflon coated joints... it's what I'm going to do. I spray some motorcycle chain wax on them but the squeaking comes back after a couple hundred miles. http://usa7s.net/vb/showthread.php?t=3624
  11. I don't think I've been in 18 degree weather my whole life (over half a century). Can't imagine experiencing it at speed. But I have spent a considerable time in 100 plus temps.... at zero speed, stuck in traffic. ,

  13. Actually Holland YouTube - Urinal Hand Washing Epic Fail - Subtitled - Haarlem 105 TV moment BPOP 2010 handen wassen
  14. cool video http://www.flixxy.com/dream-rangers-tc-bank-taiwan.htm
  15. some people just have too much time...
  16. My favorite Geico commercial is the drill sargeant pychologist "... why don't we just chug on over to Mamby Pamby land and get you some self-confidence, you jackwagon!" ,
  17. No where near the number of cars some of you have gone thru... most notable ones: 72 Datsun pick up (first car) late 60s VW squareback rustbucket, while stationed in Germany (great in snow) 72 Lotus Europa 73 Triumph TR6 70 something Dodge Ram 4X4 78 El Camino (V8 wish I would of kept longer) 67 Chevy C10 short fleetside 05 G35 Coupe (nice daily driver) 05 Mini
  18. Well I helped reduce it today.... man, there was a lot out there. I must of hit 3 of them. Usually try to straddle them to give the suckers a chance but one of them was ran over by both left wheels.
  19. That's the iconic F1 in my memory too. The only other one I would want is that 6 wheel car they tried for a year or two.
  20. I once got a ticket for not coming to a complete stop, at a 4 way stop, on my bicycle... it was at the base of a hill that I was going to go up. I had slowed down to about walking speed and saw the cop (who was the only car around and parked about 50 yards away). I could see ticketing cyclists blasting down the hill... actually think that was why he was there. Oh well, went to court to make sure it wouldn't affect my car insurance.
