    A sad day in our house

    Leo, It is hard to have pets. Currently we have none as the last LasaOpso recently passed on after 16 years. She must have been abut 112 in human years. I have lost two others to vehicles and finally learn to curb train my dogs. This last one would walk the blocks of our street and never...

    veterans day "tomb of the unknown soldier" very interesting

    Stan and GGM8's, I lived in Arlington for a couple years and visited the TOTUS on two occasions. It is sobering and was for us visitors a very somber spectacle. The most impressive for me was the Vietnam Wall and all the names. It is difficult to relate the emotions that one goes through...

    Nor-Cal get together-Memorial Day weekend

    Have not changed the gear oil at 70K. I did add the Prolong Trany treatment at about 25K and hope it helps over the lifetime. I may change it next oil change however now that you made me think about it again. Differential oil is easily changed by service company, I don't have the inclination...

    Very important Nor Cal meeting !!!

    Wow guys, I was asleep at the stick on this one. I told Stan we could meet at my place and then left him hanging in the breeze I guess. Sorry Stan. I got caught up in a construction project here at home. Anyone know any contractors that can build retaining walls (wood or concrete) and...

    Dont you guys have anything to talk about?

    Nothing to say? OK, I finished the Z31 repairs and it is running well. Next I will update the injector wiring with new connectors as some are corroded. Otherwise on the Mark VIII front, I have not been able to repair the CD Changer. I bought a used one on eBay and it at least processes the...

    Avanti joins "our club"

    maxmk8, When it comes right down to it your right. The cost is prohibitive. That is why you don't see them on every street corner. I guess that is why I will probably never have one. Otherwise I put it in the same catogory as the "Near Exotics". Fancy and uncommon but not a practical...

    Dream on

    I guess if I had $3M to spend on a car I would not worry about all the cuurves and nooks and cranies that have to be cleaned every time its washed. Can you imagine what the engine compartment looks like. What about the electrical system. One could spend another $3M just maintiaining it. It...

    Avanti joins "our club"

    Sandy, I can only wish at this time but maybe one day. I have always admired the specials and since the first Avanti they have been intesting. A friend had an old one and let it go to a restorer a few years ago and that was my last practical chance to have one. Until your post I had virtually...

    My new Wing

    In LA; cruising La Cieniga, the canyon, La Habra, Century and Van Nuys boulevards you will be in style. All the hookers and lookers will love your ride. When you hit Santa Monica or Venice you better bold the fin down or the car is toast, they even steal false teeth! Good show car, expensive...
