That is amazing but in our defense folks back then didn't have as much distractions so I think certain people could really expand their ways and means...

That is amazing. I felt like a mechanical genius because I was able to time my 914 engine and get it to start this weekend. Thanks for taking me down a notch.

When I saw that video I instantly thought of my Pelican buddies. I knew a bunch of nerds, engineers, and geeks like most of us would enjoy that clip.

Value? What's that thing worth?
Being a one off, It would have to be over a million, probably closer to two if it was ever for sale. And you'd have to employ someone qualified to look after it and keep it working 100%.

Yeah, that's up there with the "singing bird pistols" that MBAtarga posted. I think they went for $4.9 million at auction.
