[V8] Pep talk

[David Head]

And a great parts car it is!
Actually, it did 200 miles in September before the trans pooped again... The other trans should be here this today or tomorrow, along with a spare engine ECU and a host of goodies Chris Semple tossed in outa the kindness of his heart. Then I'll have to buy a set of wires, a pair of control arms, put the stereo back in, and swap in the spare instrument cluster... If it warms up a bit I might even get out
there under it! 40 degrees is ugly weather to be working on a car...

Dave may brag about his long trips in the red V8, but the blue one still sits as a testament to the fact that it really is just a parts car for the red V8.  I know, I've seen him cannibalize it many times for the benefit of the red V8.
