Pulling retired cars from displays/museums is an honored and winning tradition in IndyCar. Ask Al Unser and others.

During the Vietnam War the local AirForce base gave a demo of the new techniques they developed to drop tanks from their C-119s and C-130s. The show was so successful they were immediately sent to 'Nam. So much for showing off.
I'm holding out for TorchThursdays!
Seriously, I thought she said oral sex, not aero sex.

My first car was a '74 Opel Manta with massive 5 mph bumpers and the seatbelt interlock. The interlock also required about 80 lbs. of weight in the seat to start the car. made tuning the engine a pain. Service manual had a section on "Technician Start" showing how to bypass the switches. Later models had a chime…
It's the other way around. Bakshi "borrowed" numerous characters from Bode. Cheech and Colbalt 60 amongst them.
Great Idea! Might want to think about this though.
I took speed reading in jr. high and was eventually clocked at 6000 wpm. I can read about 1000 wpm when not under ideal lab conditions though. When I read for pleasure I read about 400 since I prefer to savor the language and imagery. And being a narrator in my past I find it very hard to keep from sub-vocalizing…
Oh my that power disc brake! My dad got one of these from the dealer as a loaner while our t-bird was in for service. I got to hoon it all over town. Best part was flying up to a stop sign, belts fastened but loose then stomp on the brakes! You'd levitate out of the seat until you'd come to a halt. Did this for about…
False alarm! It was a Trojan found in the server room.
I prefer a bit more wattage.
That's the CIS fuel distributor and those are fuel lines to the injectors. Engine actually appears to be quite stock. The radiator shroud is indeed missing but you can replace this with cardboard (the original was cardboard. Probably rotted away)

If I'm not mistaken they were called TR7-V8 in England and TR-8s here in the States.
I was fortunate enough to be a student at one of Buffum's rally schools back then. This film was shown for the first time ever at our "graduation" dinner. Buffum told us about Vicki's comments and how they had to remove them (a very clear "Shit!" ) for the release version. Also, a later shot in the film showed him…
They didn't have ANY pace notes back then. You had route instructions and other than an occasional !!! (triple caution) note you mostly had a Start Control mileage and a Finish Control mileage. Anything in between was a surprise unless you had run the event in previous years.
Good ideas but none involve being prepared. My car always has a blanket, jumper cables , a tow strap, car fluids of various sorts, a garden spade (straight edge). Glove box has a couple of hand heater packages and a "astronaut space blanket". A cell phone charger and USB cable. Blankets are good for staying warm or…
A bit of brake wold have those tires spinning the same direction (old rally trick).
One of local autocrossers was a church-goer and not much later also a SCCA National Solo Champion. We had a deal where he could arrive late and be teched and registered.
