So if the vehicle had nitrous too and the dealer turned it on, hit the accelerator, lost control and killed 3 people in the parking lot then the dealer would be liable, right? I would think so.

Damn, I was going to sell him my Megabusa. But it's only a year old.

Why would the dealer use the remote start? Just get in and use the damn key. Parking brake switch is the norm. If it isn't engaged you can't start it. Don't know about the fault.

Congrats on the first blat of the year. I made it to a British Car Show yesterday morning. I decided to drive the Megabusa for the 75 mile trip instead of trailering her. On the way home I got hit with rain off and on 4-5 times. A Nissan Altima spun out about a mile ahead of me and hit a tree. I continued on and the Westfield Aeroscreen deflected 95% of the rain away from me. The only thing to get wet was my helmet. I even used the large red light at the rear of the car for extra caution. Today I left my male Great Dane out in the living room for a few hours while I caught up on sleep. When I woke up to feed him and his sister I found he had shredded my entire ziploc bag full of Megabusa documents that I keep in the car. Good thing they were only copies! That boy...

AN IRISH BLONDE IN A CASINO An attractive blonde from Cork , Ireland arrived at the casino. She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty-thousand Euros on a single roll of the dice. She said, 'I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude'. With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue yelled, 'Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!' As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed...'YES! YES! I WON, I WON!' She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed. The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded. Finally, one of them asked, 'What did she roll?' The other answered, 'I don't know - I thought you were watching.' MORAL OF THE STORY - Not all Irish are drunks, not all blondes are dumb, but all men....are men.

Dry sump it! http://hanksmegabusa.com/images/121508/03.jpg

Good luck with the swap!

Woo whoooo! She's a beauty!

Why not block the road? Hello? They do it all the time here for road construction and it works.

Damn, if I had all that metal in me I'd have to take even MORE weight out of the Megabusa!

I wear 6 point harnesses, arm restraints, and a full face helmet (the STIG), and that isn't enough. A Hans device would help.

RIP Dana.

How on earth did they plan out the camera angles? Superb job! I take it from the video that these are the same 4 guys that did the video on the treadmills?

You know, if someone were to buy my Megabusa I would so by a used Smart and put a Busa drivetrain in it. Killer setup. Little top heavy probably.

Makes me want a detachable wood steering wheel on my megabusa. To add that historic touch.

Very nice! Like the license plate.

Dude, if he sneezed he'd be a goner.

I didn't think he'd do all 5. Great trick!

I hope you get better weather for more blatting!

Murder at Wal-Mart So, here's the story. . . Tired of constantly being broke & stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a large insurance policy on his wife with himself as the beneficiary, and then arranging to have her killed. A 'friend of a friend' put him in touch with a nefarious dark-side underworld figure who went by the name of 'Artie.' Artie then explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was $5,000. The husband said he was willing to pay that amount, but that he wouldn't have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife's insurance money. Artie insisted on being paid at least something up front, so the man opened his wallet, displaying the single dollar bill that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, & reluctantly agreed to accept the dollar as down payment for the dirty deed. A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local Super Wal-Mart store. There, he surprised her in the produce department & proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands as the poor unsuspecting woman drew her last breath & slumped to the floor........ The manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the murder scene. Unwilling to leave any living witnesses behind, ol' Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager as well. However, unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by the hidden security cameras & observed by the store's security guard, who immediately called the police. Artie was caught & arrested before he could even leave the store. Under intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the whole sordid plan, including his unusual financial arrangements with the hapless husband who was also quickly arrested. The next day in the newspaper, the headline declared ... (You're going to hate me for this ... ) 'ARTIE CHOKES 2 for $1.00 AT WAL-MART!'

I drove the Megabusa for an hour yesterday and 4 hours today. Beautiful weather! -Got the Goodyear slicks mounted to the 13x7 wheels -Installed LED turn signals in the rear -Swapped the 2" Westfield 4pt harnesses in favor of 3" G-Force 6pt variants -Bypassed the dead brake pressure switch with a microswitch behind the brake pedal -Replaced the dead microswitch for the parking brake

Is that magazine found at places like Barnes & Noble and Books a Million? Been a long time since I had free time to read mags. Beautiful cover shot!

Made my afternoon. Thanks gentlemen.
