Re: Possible swap meet ride

Fred32, The pleasure was entirely mine. Here's my latest update on teh Scooter - it's a roller once again! Actually it's rideable less the seat switch which I need to make a spacer for.

Verbal Tirade

Brake Bleeding

Firstly let me mention that I've mentioned this "tip" on other forums and have been told I'm a clueless idiot (amoung other things) so before you find yourself thinking the SAME THING - humor me just for a moment. Keep in mind I do own a sweet pressure bleeder, but sometimes I find myself ...

Cushman

BP, The pics make it look a tad better than it really is, but in the sunlight it does look pretty presentable. The front fender on it was not only smashed but cut down as well - I considered lengthening it back to origional, but then I found one dirt cheap on Ebay - it wasn't THAT much better, but a...

Driving/Sliding

Reminds me of when I worked for the Pizza Shop and had to drive the bosses car to make deliveries. I was BROOTAL on that poor V6 - I remember when the oil light came on after a certain 360 degree off ramp and wouldn't come back on for quite a few minutes - I was crappin' my pants thinking I actually...

Year in Action

OK I'm very NEW here so I'll jump in. Like most years this one was filled with Highs and Lows: Buried my sweatheart Beagle of 13 years - still miss her, but the big fella upstairs has quite a sense of humor because our new Puppy has EVERY characteristic of our old Squirt - bizzarre almost. Built the...

Hi Dave!!!! Nice to meet you - the only problem with learning as I am is that it's hard to maintain focus - I missed most of the racing and only got to meet a couple guys - I was sorta preoccupied - to say the least!!! ha ha ha. Were you there watching or did you run a car - if so which one was it??...

Wow, It was DEFINITELY a great day - no one broke any parts!!! (Fan belts don't count!) It was good to meet some "Tiresmokers" - of course we were so busy I didn't get to meet everyone there. Who was the guy I talked to in the staging lanes with the Tiresmoke Hat?? He introduced himself, b...

Background

BP you are an observant one......the light blue one is my '64 Rambler Convertible - pretty much bone stock - 6 banger and all. It's in serious need of an engine rebuild, but ironically it is the car I drive the most .... take the kids to get Ice Cream or to their soccer games. I bought it CHEAP 1/2 ...

I seriously doubt anyone c...
