Jeeze, all I did was post his article and call him a wuss in :jester:. I certainly didn't expect it to explode like it did. (Though I do like to stir things up now and then. )

Photo on the night stand After a long night of making love, the guy notices a photo of another man, on the woman's nightstand by the bed. He begins to worry. 'Is this your husband?' he nervously asks. 'No, silly,' she replies, snuggling up to him. 'Your boyfriend, then?' he continues. 'No, not at all,' she says, nibbling away at his ear. 'Is it your dad or your brother?' he inquires, hoping to be reassured. 'No, no, no! You are so hot when you're jealous!' she answers. 'Well, who in the hell is he, then?' he demands. She whispers in his ear 'That's me before the surgery.' ... Clean can be funny. One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very Sexy nightie. 'Tie me up,' she purred, 'and you can do anything you want.' So he tied her up and went golfing. A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the house. She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, 'Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!' The husband said, 'Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?' 'Doesn't matter,' she said. 'Just get out.' Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is a husband. A Polish immigrant went to the DMV to apply for a driver's license. First, of course, he had to take an eye sight test The optician showed him a card with the letters 'C Z W I X N O S T A C Z.' 'Can you read this?' the optician asked. 'Read it?' the Polish guy replied, 'I know the guy.' Mother Superior called all the nuns together and said to them, 'I must tell you all something. We have a case of gonorrhea in the convent.' 'Thank God,' said an elderly nun at the back. 'I'm so tired of chardonay. A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. 'Careful,' he said, 'CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them.. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the! Salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!' The wife stared at him. 'What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?' The husband calmly replied, 'I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving.' Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina mountain man, was drafted by the Army. On his first day in basic training, the Army issued him a comb. That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all his hair. On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush. That afternoon the Army dentist yanked seven of his teeth. On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap. The Army has been looking for Herman for 51 years.

What 15 1/2 year old would listen to anything a bunch of old farts had to say. They already think they know everything and that driving a real Se7en on a track is no different than driving a virtual Se7en on a video game.

From the above mentioned Ross Robbins. Some of you have read his Road Trips book about his adventures driving across country in Lotus cars. This was directed to Alaskossie with a copy to me and I post it here with Ross's permission.

I went for a blat today, first in a couple of months but as the roads are finally dry and the sun was out it seemed like a good time. It was 34F when I left and 38F when I returned home, a major heat wave for January. No top and no side curtains. The heater was on but without the top and side curtains it is pretty much useless other than for my right knee. I have driven my Caterham on several 400+ mile days, one was a little over 500 miles. All of these were in mid summer heat, on the 500 mile trip the temps were in the 105F range. The half hood was on and a side curtain was on the passenger side only. It was not all that uncomfortable. On the GBB we drove 250 - 325 miles a day for 12 days, a total of about 2,300 miles. All but one of the 11 Se7ens had a breakdown but all of them finished the trip, even the Bear Slayer Caterham.

Exactly.

I met Nixon when I was about 13 years old. I'd never heard of bad vibes but I definitely felt something evil emanating from him. If nominated I would not vote for myself. I do vote for my cars at car shows.

Bite your tongue! I will not lower myself to indulge in politics. I have no love for politicians other than the entertainment they provide. AFAIK they are all crooks, thieves and speak with forked tongues. FWIW I did not create the above, I just passed it along from an email I received. If someone sends me one about the republican debates I will be happy to pass it along. After all, I am an equal opportunity offender.

WHAT I LEARNED FROM WATCHING THE DEMOCRATS' DEBATE * Black Lives Matter, All Lives Don't Matter. * College should be free and all student loans cancelled. * Medical treatment should be free. * To become an American Citizen just show up here. * The economy sucks and after 7 years in office, it's not Obama's fault. * The Middle Class is shrinking and after 7 years in office, it's not Obama's fault. * The Average Family income is dropping and after 7 years in office, it's not Obama's fault. * Black youths have over a 50% unemployment rate and after 7 years in office it's not Obama's fault. * Hispanic youth unemployment is over 35% and after 7 years in office, it's not Obama's fault. * 50% of the Population is paying 100% of all the taxes and they are still not paying their fair share. * Everyone who votes Democrat will work less, make more, get more time off, spend more time with family, pay less taxes, and get more government subsidies. * Everyone else does it, so should we, regardless of the results other places. * Government wants more money to squander on promises already broken. * The word "Progressive" is less cringe worthy than saying you're a Liberal. * When America grows up, we want to be Norway, Sweden or the Netherlands. * There's a quagmire in Iraq, Syria and the Middle East and Obama's retreating from the area has nothing to do with the situation. * Republicans want dirty air, dirty water, oil spills, trash on the streets, polluted oceans, old people without medical treatment and dead, young people without educations being paid the lowest wages possible, starving children, don't believe in equal rights, were responsible for Jim Crow Laws and not Affirmative action. * Snowden and General Petraeus broke laws for releasing and not securing secret documents but Hillary Clinton shares no responsibility. * If elected, everything will be rainbows and Unicorns - just like with Obama. * Hillary Clinton does walk on water. * Cheaters do prosper. * People often cheer stupidity. * There is only one candidate given a voice in the Democrat Race. * Hillary and Bill Clinton were born poor Black Children. * All the qualifications needed to be President is to be a woman. * Evil looks like anything white, rich, successful and productive. * You will receive a participation trophy in life. * Agreements of any kind should be signed and committed to even if the other agreeing party doesn't live up to its obligations. * Everything is still Bush's fault.

True story. In 1967 I was riding a bus from Blackfoot, Idaho to the Idaho National Laboratory near Arco, Idaho which is where a lot of nuclear experimentation takes place. The bus was filled with a mixture of Navy personnel and civilians. I was stationed at a Navy nuclear power plant operation training facility. Someone near the back of the bus ripped off the loudest fart I have ever heard. Everyone turned their head to see who the guilty party was. One sailor stands up from his aisle seat, turns to the civilian woman sitting across the aisle and says in a loud stage whisper: "Keep a straight face lady, I'll stand up and take the blame". Needless to say, the Navy was not amused when they found out about it and the sailor was transferred immediately, most likely to some remote island.

85-year-old Biker Bob was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, ‘Take this jar home and bring back a semen sample tomorrow. ’ The next day Bob reappeared at the doctor’s office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day. The doctor asked what happened and the old biker explained, 'Well you see, doc, it’s like this. “First I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my old lady for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing. 'We even called up Sally, the Gal next door and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin’ it between her knees, but still nothing.’ The doctor was shocked! 'You asked your neighbor?' Bob replied, 'Yep, none of us could get that damn jar open.’

I queried a few people who might know about your car and got this reply from Nathan Down who worked at Rocky Mountain Sportscars (and at the Caterham factory).

The car and previous owner have not shown up at any of my Se7ens gatherings or at the local C&Cs. Are you and the car living in Colorado? Please give us more details on the car - year, engine, model (guessing its an SV from your screen name).

This brought me some chuckles this morning.

The Presbyterian Church called a meeting to decide what to do about their squirrels. After much prayer and consideration, they determined the squirrels were predestined to be there and they shouldn't interfere with God's divine will. At the Baptist Church the squirrels had taken an interest in the baptistery. The Deacons met and decided to put a water slide on the baptistery and let the squirrels drown themselves. The squirrels liked the slide and unfortunately, knew instinctively how to swim so twice as many squirrels showed up the following week. The Episcopal Church decided that they were not in a position to harm any of God's creatures. So, they humanely trapped their squirrels and set them free near the Baptist Church. Two weeks later the squirrels were back when the Baptists took down the water slide. But the Catholic Church came up with a very creative strategy. They baptized all the squirrels and consecrated them as members of the church. Now they only see them on Christmas and Easter. Not much was heard from the Jewish Synagogue, but it's rumored that they took one squirrel and circumcised him, and they haven't seen a squirrel on their property since.

Yes, very good ROI, now if I could take that $104 and scale it up...

Not the big one but did well. I won the mighty sum of: Wait for it: $104 And it only cost me $30 to win it.

Many times I would have loved to have heated seats in my Caterham. It does have cruise control which is nice on those long boring straight stretches.

In the US at least all SC400s had automatic transmissions. The 6 cylinder SC300 was available with a manual or automatic transmission.

OK Tom, Here ya go. As I was just driving home and worrying about all the stuff going on in my life, my family's lives, my friends' lives, and what's happening in Washington, Moscow, Ukraine, the Middle East, Hillary Clinton's scandals, Jeb, Trump, Fox News, the downgrading of our military, the terrorists infiltrating our border, the illegals, the refugees, and how our country is rapidly losing its sanity and its Christianity, I saw a yard sign that said: NEED HELP? CALL JESUS 1-800-555-3787 Out of curiosity and desperation, I called the number. A Mexican showed up with a lawnmower.

Shipwrecked A cruise on the Pacific goes all wrong, the ship sinks, and there are only 3 survivors; Bob, Bill and Debbie. They manage to swim to a small island and they live there for a couple of years doing what's natural for men and women to do. After several years of casual sex, all the time, Debbie felt absolutely horrible about what she was doing. She felt having sex with both Bob and Bill was so immoral and bad that she killed herself. It was tragic, but Bob and Bill managed to get through it. After a while, Bob and Bill's resistance to nature's urgings waned, and the inevitable happened. Well, a couple more years went by and Bob and Bill began to feel absolutely horrible about what they were doing. So they buried Debbie.
