It was good to meet you too Banning. I appreciate the comment. Thanks for the quick lesson on the surrounding foliage. I hear you have a 911 in your living room? Is that correct:) Slodave, Green machine needs a couple of hours worth of work. I heard a clucking in the rear. Might be the sway bar or something else. No runs this week. It will have to wait till I finish my website for dummies book:D |
Golly shucks, I'm in such a quandairey...? I been axin 'bout "fun runs" here on this bbs form (I'm a reel new nubeeSmileWavy) an' these Mulholland runs seem really, really ekcitin' an fun, what with all the history an' the drama an' the history an' the speed an' the oncomin' traffic!
I drove it by aksident years ago with my xwife in her Tyoter Silica when we was out lost one Sundy afternoon, but there was a Law Ossifer a follerin' us an she was shreekin' "SLO DOWN, SLO DOWN!" near bustin' my eardrum like a airbag goin off over 'n over (she was a air bag herself an shur wuz 'agoin' off over 'n over on me!) no matter how loud I bellered back at her ta "SHUHDDUP, SHUHDDUP!" so's I could barely here the sireen a'blowin at me like a banshee! I acourse pulled 'er over then an the Ossifer was reel perlite. It was reel countryfied yet back then an' it turns out that, seein' our outta LA plate, he wuz jus' lookin' out fer our welfare (would've really hated to looze our welfare back in them days, HAHA) by warnin' us ta be exter kefrul accounta sometimes a stupid wild terkey would come acrashin' thru the redlight that wuz up ahead (I bleeve it were the olny one, back then). Duz 'at still happen? I got ridda that ole airbag an bought a ole Porsha Nine 11 SC (I think that stands fer Sports Car, get it? HAHA!) an' now I think I'm ready ta join the fray (I foun' that werd in the dikshunairy).........but I'm kinda skeered, (but thas' prolly my fawlt, not the hallered assfawlt HAHA!). I'm abuildin' curridge, tho (I jus' put a screamin' chicken on my trunk lid an' it reely gave me a lot more confadense now!). http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1179720817.jpg David "I drive without a airbag!" |
LMAO,
I need some Kleenex to wipe my eyes |
Now that's unique!
A screaming eagle on the front of a 911. Kind of like a Trans Am 911, without the Trans Am. |

For the last time, I will not stand being called names on the internet. What kind of a man are you? I'm sure if you were looking me in the eye you would think twice before saying that, just because the internet is so socially anonymous doesn't give you the right to berate me. I don't believe you, or your snobby, selfish, and immature attitude. banning, you don't own the road. you just grew up in bev hills, how fortunate Quote:

It's not like we're racing through a Turkish bazaar and crashing through fruit stands and stuff it's just a spirited run through Mulholland and vicinity

Woodstock in Shadow Hills,
You are a neighbor. If you see an SVO, Shelby or a GT-40 of any color on Sunland Blvd or Foothill it is likely myself, Brad or Tim. Just flag us over and we'll tell you when and where we get together. Pat |

Interesting run today! Nice meeting you Joe, and BTW, awesome ride. Loved the wheels, color, attention to detail, and pretty much everything about your car.. Sorry the ride wasn't as spirited as usual. We got wind of some unwanted attention waiting up for us up there.
Thinkfloyd, we don't encurage braking the law, like running red lights, however, if somebody can succesfully run Mulholland for 20 + years, never crashing, or killing somebody, he must know something most of us don't and deserves a little respect for that. I also live on Mulholland, and I bought my house there because of the good old road. You got to understand that it's more than an innanimate object for us, it's part of our lives as much as our families, and pets are. Please don't insult Her! I don't expect you to understand it. You have to drive it 3-4 times a day for years to even scratch the surface of the road driver relationship... anyway before I get too sentimental... i believe in one of your earlier notes you called us (including me) a brown noser. That's the first time anybody has ever called me that! I could easily start riding your ass for it but that will get us nowhere. My point: watching your language, and being slightly more respectful, will get you further, faster on this forum, and in life in general... peace out R |
Radu,
I understand your point but I never disrespected him or even addressed him for that matter until after he blatantly called me names. Don't I deserve some respect as well. The only reason I even initially posted was to suggest more driving where roads have less traffic. I apologize for calling you a brown noser, I completely take it back...any why would I ever insult your dog...it would kill me (things huge). Additionally, If my language was ever out of line I apologize as well, but If I was out of line Banning was x100. He's the one calling people turkey(stupid i guess), idiots, and losers. So if you want to be the voice of reason, please ask Banning to be more respectful as well, I shouldnt even be the one addressed for that matter. BTW, Banning did crash on Mulholland...he actually described it as the time he almost "died". Its in the king of the hill rsr thread. (too lazy to search for it)---so if he alsmost dies once---then the next time maybe an innocent bystander would be involved also. laters |
Derek,
I agree that everyone should take a breather. I certainly meant no direspect to anyone posting, but simply wanted to chime in on what I thought was a little on the "bashy" side with respect to banning's replies to thinkfloyd. For what it's worth, I grew up in SoCal and am aware of the history of Mulholland, certainly not nearly as much as someone like banning who apparently lives right there. I simply wanted to chime in because I have a close friend whose life was nearly taken from a couple of idiots street racing. It left him in very critical condition for a long time and he will never be 100% again. They slammed into the back of his car at about 60mph (estimated from the skidmarks and damage) while he was at a standstill for a redlight. They did not see him because it was a redlight that was after a slight curve in the road. My friend never knew what hit him... You guys are there and hey, do whatever you want to do, but, sometimes we are not in as much control as we think we are, and you never know what the others around you are going to do. Not chastising, judging, or bashing you guys, but just trying to give everyone else something to think about. Now then, on a lighter note: Derek, how was the new muffler on the drive? |
It is a new day and week.
Peace and goodwill to all. Have a :) day |

Thank you for pointing out that you never know what others around you are going to do. That's very true. I am very sorry for your friend. I send him my good wishes and prayers. |

Thinkfloyd14, for the sake of all of us getting along, I have a proposition; if you would consider to retract your original statement that "Mulholland's Crapp"(which started this unpleasantness), I would be willing to formally retract everything negative that I have said to you. I will also pass along(thru Derek or Radu) a rare digital copy of King of the Mountain (for you to laugh at, poke at, and get entertainment from), and I will not post to this thread again. You will most likely never see or hear from me ever after that. If this seems acceptable to you, we can part with cordial behavior and direct our energies towards something more worthwhile. I know that we have free speech and that you can say whatever you want to in this beautiful country, but I am asking this of you as a fellow American to put this behind and move on to better things. Regards, Chris Banning |
v8_ranch used the term "street racing". i want to make it clear to all those reading this thread that this drive is not about street racing. we are not racing. this is not a speed contest. we are not trying to emulate the mulholland races of old. we are driving our cars within their limits (and ours), all the while leaving a lot of margin for unexpected events.
now, back to our regularly scheduled programming... |
