Chris: how about something British for a push-start vehicle?

What's not to like??  '59 Briddish wid a heart transplant from Detroit........   Do you know anyone who could fit a belly pan??.........

I think the fact that it is in Beerhaven obligates you to go see it......    Mortal Sin if you don't.....   and, you'll hate yourself in the morning if you don't go to see it.........


BTW: Enjoyed the Winter Skal (Capitol Brewing), on to the porter, DON'T call early........

Well - in the macro observation, it's just an old Ford with a Chevy V-8.  That trick's been done before, and seeing as I tend to go for the "dare-to-be-different" approach, conceptually, it's just another belly button.

BUT

As I get older, wiser, and admittedly lazier, the fool-proof ease and availability of a cheap, dependable SBC is having a certain appeal.

It's very cool - a 2 door small panel, streetable, nicely appointed - really about as functional a street rod as one could reasonably expect to find.

But for now, I think I'll just wait for one to show up on E-bay with an AMC Tornado OHC 6.

An Error Has Occurred!



Sorry! There is already an attachment with the same filename as the one you tried to upload. Please rename the file and try again.

Neil! Neil! I'd slap your face to calm you down if I could reach you!!

When you get that message rename the file (I just add a 1 to the name) and you can attach it.
Well, it used to be Los Angeles . . . 50 miles north of Fresno now.
Just remember . . . It isn't life or death.
It's bigger than life or death! It's RACING.

Neil,
I think it's the photo that you have to rename.  When I get that message, I go back one page, copy my text to the clipboard (so I don't have to retype it), then close the Landracing forum and just reopen it.  Go to your photos (I keep my downsized photos in separate file), open them up and "save as" by adding a 1 or a 2 to the end of the file name, making sure the size of each photo is less than 100 kb.  Then I can paste my message in the reply box , add the newly named photos, and it seems to accept them.

Tom;

I tried that repeatedly yesterday. Changing the picture file names resulted in an error saying that I'd already posted the message. Changing the text of the message and resending resulted in an error saying that the attachments already existed. Changing both didn't seem to work, either. Yesterday nothing that usually worked before did.

Oh, well... I was commenting on the suggestion that there should be a British push vehicle for the Midget.

That thing was impressive, if maybe a little overkill.  :-D :evil: :roll:

I think they'd frown on those "knobby" tires.

Neil -

If I were driving "The Phoenix", I might seek out such a push vehicle.

The lug nuts on that thing are bigger in diameter than my drive shaft.

This would be more practical -

It would take a really big chute to stop it, the Phoenix had a 24 footer. :-D
