  1. Guy down the street from me had one. We called it "Uncle Tonoose"
  2. I don't think myself has anything left to say
  3. She thought all 60s rock songs were about sex and drugs. There was "Winston tastes good like (as) a cigarette should" and "The King and I"
  4. I barely escaped from school with a remedial education. I majored in pet peeves. My mother had a PHD. She would not tolerate, "I ain't got no", "Me and Jeff are going to the movies". The misuse of "seen" gave her the hives. It's in my DNA. My fave is people who use "Myself" as their name. "Call myself at 1800 555555. Rule of thumb is, your name is I or me not myself
  5. You cannot apply the rules of proper English to peoples names, huh, Bret Favre? Even my name appears to be Collin, it is Cal in. Count me in the Willis camp.
  6. Why not convert it back to positive ground?
  7. One thing for certain. It is not a Model C since there was no such animal
  8. I'm certain that all 6 cylinder Healey heads will interchange. I pent my time at BMC dealerships and worked at a shop that specialized in Healeys. We swapped 110 6 heads for 3000 heads often to eliminated the integral intake manifolding on the 100 6s
  9. 14 years old, 1957 Porsche Speedster on Mulholland drive in LA Ca
  10. 15 years old, no permit yet. The car was a 57 Porsche 356 Speedster.
  11. If the trans is a truck 4 speed, it isn't worth much. Does the engine have a fuel pump on the right side, under the manifolds?
  12. That is a true story. we kept the Car stored for a number of years at Hollywood Sport Cars
  13. Don't forget the car with the decomposed body inside. Couldn't get the odor out of it so it had to be crushed. Usually it's a Corvette, sometime a Cobra, a Porsche, Ferrari or some other high end car. Never an 0ld beat up Plymouth or Studebaker
  14. All Model Ts were black and they were designed to run on alcohol. Rolls Royces have sealed hoods. HF broke away from the Dodge brothers because he hated Jews. Tuckers don't have reverse.Big Oil bought the Pogue carburetor patent for millions otherwise we would all be getting 200 MPG. The fiends!
  15. I'm still trying to figure out why it's called a planetary brake systen
  16. The idea that slapping a set of disc brakes on an old clunk will transform it into a Ferrari is rampant and largely false. Most of the cars that I grew up with could be thrown into a full four wheel skid. Will disc brakes somehow do better? My last Model A would lock up all four with it's mechanical drums. I've driven thousands of miles on the dreaded soCal freeways and never had a problem as far as brakes go. Only fade I ever had was in the mountains
  17. I'll take that Hudson over any Kaiser except maybe a Darrin or a fully loaded Dragon
