Skip, That's a great vid.......thanks for sharing. :cheers:

No excuse needed for me........I like playing in the dirt. I have the Old MacDonald Award (and reliable witnesses) to prove it. :jester:

Chassis for ground........yes. :seeya:

Yep. :jester: . . . . . Happy New Year!!!!!!!! :party: :cheers:

Lots of broon vids on boob tube if interested.

Joe and John were identical twins. Joe was a simple man who owned an old decrepit boat and not much else; didn’t even carry a cell phone. He was known to be a bit crass in mixed company, so he pretty much kept to himself. One day, Joe found himself in dire need of some beer money. Because it wasn’t yet payday, he decided to rent out his boat to a group of guys who ended up sinking it. Joe spent the next day or two trying to salvage the boat, but finally gave up and simply recovered as much stuff as he could from the sunken vessel. During Joe’s absence, his brother’s (John’s) wife had suddenly taken ill and passed away. Upon Joe’s return from the salvage operation, he decided to stop at the local grocer for a few items before heading home. As he entered the store, a kind old woman saw Joe and mistook him for John and said, "I'm so sorry for your loss. You must feel terrible." Joe, thinking she was referring to his boat said, "Hell no! As a matter of fact, I'm really glad to be rid of her. She was a rotten old bitch from the beginning. Her bottom was shriveled like a jar of prunes and she smelled like a fish market! And no matter how hard I scrubbed, that smell would not wash out. She had a bad crack in the back and a pretty big hole in the front as well. And every time I used her, the hole got bigger. Toward the end, she was leaking like a sieve." "I guess what finally finished her off was my deciding to rent her to those four guys who were out looking for a good time. I warned them that she wasn't very sturdy and smelt like a dead mackerel, but they wanted her anyway. Hell bent, they were! Those damned fools……….they ended up trying to get into her all at one time and she split right up the middle." The old woman fainted. . . . . . :seeya:

Mike, I'd never even heard of an RVT until running across the video.

Beat cha' to it! :cheers:

Then and now :cheers:

Hehehe.............:jester:

Make'm beg! Hangn's too good for'm!

Paint it black and get yourself a cape and mask. Hollywood will be knocking down your door for another sequel. I wonder if it comes standard with a Bat signal.

Croc, why does your list seem heavily weighted toward drinking and driving?

...... and WITW is an RVT Martilana? Do svidaniya! :seeya:

Just googled images of the the Madonna Inn......now on my list.

Laguna Seca has been on my bucket list for a few years. I've walked the track twice and I took my first ride ever in a Cobra replica at that venue; it was only across the paddock, but at a rather spirited pace.

This.....is NOT on my bucket list: .......This has been added: What is/isn't on yours? :cheers:

JR, At the risk of stirring the communal pot and pouring an a$$-load of old, stale salt into your freshly opened wound, I too have had a 'less than stellar' experience with TMW and associates. The end result, after many months of worthless fretting, lawyer fees, and an additional $11K loss, the most profitable course of action was to simply walk away and carry on with my life. The greatest loss ended up being what it had done (at the time) to my health (both mentally and, eventually, physically). Money comes and goes, but health and integrity are irreplaceable. Obviously, there's much more to my experience. And just as you, I chose to remain quiet and to not post any info for the 'sake of the community'. But, just so you know you aren't alone. I do, indeed, feel your pain. Having said this, I believe I'll take the Storker out for a 'spirited' drive.....a great form of anger management. On a more positive note, we should get together at MSR Cresson for a track day....put that dry sump to good use.

Brit, Where did you get the handy dandy wire locator tool. Must have one.

Skip, I think you nailed it. :iamwithstupid: . . . . . :hurray:

About 1:16 on the video: :cheers: Bonus video:

Here, I'm mixing cranberry sauce in with my dressing. Surely, that's nationalism . . . . :flag:

Bare bones, well honed skill. :cheers:

Perhaps a half brother from another mother......or other. :ack:

Tom! Is that your new driving suit for next year? MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
