Well, since I started this car name thing, I guess I'll keep it going.
My mom's first car was a Plymouth Belvedere, called, for obvious fin
reasons, the Batmobile. Michelle (my fiancee and partner in automotive
works) has a '78 Mustang Cobra II (apologies to Roland for such misuse
of the name of such a fine car!) called Beastie (this one has the 302 and
four speed). My VW Baja Bug is Lucifer, for on its first outing, I blew
two tires, the muffler, right side tail lamp, and battery all fell off/through
the car. I also trashed a nerf bar. (Had a blast:)
Michelle bought that special tool for Biscuit's (79 Midget) Z/S 150CD.
I followed the directions and cranked down the fuel portion of the mixture
until the exhaust no longer smelled like a leak at a Texaco refinery.
(Tool #S353)
Everybody cross your fingers for me. I may be getting the last of the
affordable British sports cars that I *really* want. If still available,
a friend of mine is going to retrieve a 1970 Triumph GT-6+ from up norht
next time he visits his father. I almost had one last summer. I've got
a pyro 1/25 scale model of one (got it after I lost the other one). This
car's been off the road for a while but is supposedly fairly complete.
In light of fairly recent SOL experience, it will be trailered :)
It was pretty neat to get Jan 11 BC digest and be the only poster-neat birthday
present!
