Pat ---- off topic ? not in my mind. ---I drive every day with brakelines done with the wrong
fittings -- due to "COUNTER Intelligence" I gave the counter person a NEW brake cylinder for a Rabbit rear brake.----And got the SAE when I should have had the metric. They sort
of fit----but I caught on because the thread was kind of sloppy. So now I have to redo some lines on a Rabbit. PITA --but not serious.
I am a geezer and I did feel the JOY of a British sports car---- a 1957 MGA and it was super.
I drove lots of sports cars --- and they all were super. BUT the "Corvette" for all its horses ?
Nah it did not fit. --- But it is one hell of a car.
The Opel with the bug eyes ? I liked that one here on the twisting mountain roads.
The Ford model T ? -----blew my mind ---WOW --if you ever see it "Golden Rod"
I drove it. What a beauty. Sure glad I got a Video of me driving it.
How did I get to drive "Golden Rod" ? It belonged to Joe Ralkowski of Bremerton WA.
and he got killed in an Aircraft crash ---- he was the Pilot. I married his sexy
wife Louanne ---- thats how.
Hagar.
PS : and Pat Dolan you know we need you ?.
