LOL! Let's try to be respectful guys, and remember we're talking about another man's religion here.

I remember fitting keys to a Lamborghini that Mike Tyson owned, Everything inside the cockpit was broken! I mean it was a disaster. I guess it just wasn't up to a brute like that. While I love to look at Italian cars, I just hate working on them. I think we should make a deal and let the Italians concentrate on food and wine (and the French for that matter) and let the Germans and us Yanks concentrate on the rolling stock.

Of course I'm a little prejudiced.

The consensus among the Porsche Aristocracy (993 owners), is that the 991 is the worthy successor to the 993. Well done Porsche!!

I'm going to risk being run off. I was a mechanic in a Mercedez dealership as a young man. A collector had just bought Clark Gable's gullwing Mercedez and wanted some door handles slapped onto it so he could drop the car into his car museum. Our service manager yells out to our smart-assed, red headed mechanic, Chris, a ham by all measures, who grins all the way up to the service desk, grabs the service clipboard, and saunters back through all of us out to the car while purring: "Well, look who got the assignment. Couldn't have picked a better guy."

A minute later, this classic car rumbles in, a bit of grind in the tranny, a hint of blue smoke from the pipe. Then--CRUNCH--as Chris drives the car onto his lift.

We break into loud applause.

Now, the collector has a car with nice, new door handles, a noisy tranny, a smoky engine...

and a bent belly pan.

Well I just ordered Bullit and Vanishing Point, and threw in The Great Escape as a bonus. I haven't seen that one in many years.

Seems we will not see you on any server for a couple of days . You'd better ask the wife to keep the remote with her to prevent you from abusing the <replay> button (on the remote).
