I thought you were a mod, Jairus. -
new slipknot music vid
lordairgtar replied to evilone's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
That's what got me, good vocals in there. Most dark metal, thrash, or whatever this genre is called all sound alike with the growly voices. Yeah, I'm 54 years old and I still give the newer stuff a listen. -
How old are you??
lordairgtar replied to KT EASTMAN's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Another April 1st person. Me too! So I'm a year younger than you. -

I'm old, but that video was pretty good, musically. Never understood the look of the band. Scary! -
First experience? I remember Casanova's Gun Shop. Let me explain. In Milwaukee, Casanova's sold guns, camp equipment, boats, model railroad stuff and other hobby things. The store was a maze of hallways. You entered the gun shop and walked down the aisle, made a left turn through a small narrow door into the hobby area. This place was jam packed with trains, slot car stuff and kits of all types. I spent many a Saturday wandering the narrow aisles looking at Lionel trains and the really cool all brass locomotives in HO scale. The place was big with IMC kits and Johan. Renwal 66 Revival kits too. As time marched on, Casanova's got out of the hobby business in the middle seventies and as the neighborhood went to pot, the business abandoned the gun trade and just concentrated on boating and they moved out to Muskego where they still are in business as Casanova Marine. The old building is still in Milwaukee but is host to several small entrepreneur enterprises, the biggest, a Hmong vegetable market. How times have changed.

Your favourite Box art
lordairgtar replied to HotRodaSaurus's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I liked the illustrations on the Renwal 66 Revival kits. Also the first issue of Tognotti's T and Wilhelm's Wonder double kit, and the Gold Cup Johan classics kits. That painting of the maroon Mercedes Benz in the German countryside was inspiring. -
Actually, the Jakob hot rod

Preffered Parking
lordairgtar replied to Joe Handley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I guess I can park there then. My car is quite fuel efficient. Over 30 mpg. I've had cars that were very efficient in burning gas up quickly. Harry, those drive thru bans must have been the ones they were talking about in the Democratic Peoples Republic Of Madison. Some politician bandied that one about but nothings going to come of it. -
ah yes, the Jag hearse from Harold And Maude.

You can't make good looking hearses with modern cars, I'm sorry.

Don't know if anyone is interested.

What? No Wisconsin graphic? -
Obviously not on my end. Even the spam filter got shut off and you still don't come up. I have photobucket so I know that ain't it and I see everyone elses. Do you have a right wing filter that prevents me from seeing it? If you coukld figure out some way to disguise or eliminate your pic labels, email me the pics.

Muffler Bearing?
lordairgtar replied to Joe Handley's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I had a small gas station in San Luis Obispo and the local kids would hang out and beg for free soda. We would send them down to the parts store to run errands getting parts for us. Newbs would be sent down to the parts store to bring back headlight polish (Yeah, I know there is such a thing for the faded Lexan lenses, but this was in the glass sealed beam days). At the current job when a newb cuts a wire too short, we send them to the tool crib looking for wire stretchers. -
I can't call 'em if'n I can't see 'em!! FIX IT!!!!

Right Andy, I am just befuddled by the car posted because of the side view pic. I wish I had a front view. You are correct in the cars you named but also Matford (another Ford), SIMCA, The earlier ones I named and many more. But I'm going to take another stab at it......Hotchkiss!

I agree with you in part, in fact most of it. China, although holding a sizable chunk of debt, isn't the largest holder. Our own US Government holds 45% of it and the Private sector holds 28%. The rest is owned by foreign governments. If you take the foreign holdings by themselves, China holds a little over 19%. If figured into the whole, they own roughly 4 to 6%. The largest foreign government holding US debt is Japan, then China, followed by the Brits. The rest are broken down into smaller chunks by many nations.

Columbia two speed rear axle

Jairus' diagram will make detailing easier. -
I can't find that product either. Try this... http://www.bragdonent.com/weather.htm It pertains mostly to railroad models but steel is steel, no? I think Tamiya's weathering stuff had the word "master" in it. Could it be that?

I can only think of three others Amilcar Chenard & Walcker Renault Vivaquarte

How to Confuse an Idiot Part 2

Me neither, nope!!! -
I work for one of those companies. We are a vendor to another vendor. Muth is a company that makes the power mirrors for those side mirrors you see with the behind the mirror turn signals. They make them for Ford, Dodge, Jeep, and even Honda Goldwings. We are the company that produces the wiring harnesses for Muth. They are fussy about the quality of wires, terminals, and connectors. We inspect them 100% twice.
