I never got the ruler treatment, but was forced in the mid-60s to change from left- to right-handedness. Our Dominican nuns’ favorite punishment was to make the student kneel on the edge, yes the edge, of a 2x4, back to the 8th grade class, for an hour. I got to do that for a week solid in 2nd grade for speaking in…

Someone’s math is off. If the MS Oscar can carry 14,000 containers at 14T each, that’s 392,000,000 pounds. 2500 full-grown, male African elephants (at 12,000# each) only total 30,000,000 pounds. Quite a difference.

My trip planning to Tuscany in 2017 just got more interesting! And nice shirt, BTW!

Those 10 Peels represent about 20% of the total Trident production! Periodic reunions in Peel and Douglas bring in Peels from all over the world. We’ve shipped ours there and back in a crate that was considered an amusement ride by the shipper.

We took our 1975 Volvo (nee DAF) 66 to the Nashville dealership for a key blank, just to see if we’d get any response. We did; the whole dealership fell out once they figured out what a Volvo 66 was.

I’ve always bend fond of the DS/Michelin test rig...

The BX4TC was huge compared to other Group B cars. Decent road car, but it never had a chance.

#2 - My wife was a trauma nurse for a while. What doing this does to a pelvis is unbelievable. Even better if one leg is out the window.

Yeah, it's Grabber Green!

And this is how the pros at Lane Motor Museum do it:

Oh, and Force India, I am disappoint.

It didn't end, really. Upon his release, he was re-hired as a "special consultant" to BMW, and worked there for some time prior to his death in '08.

Ah, I love a nice Frisky! And Michelotti's way up there - in addition to the ones well-known, it is said that he had about 1200 other designs that he was not allowed to put his name on, due to contractual or other limitations.
