I had an old Hofco II alarm in my '74 911 when I woned it and I paid Tab Tanner from Findlay, OH to remove it as it was intermittently cutting off the fuel pump circuit and the ignition circuit, causing me all kinds of grief. There must have been 50lbs of wires, boxes, fuses, switches, relays, etc... associated with that crummy alarm. Getting rid of it was one of the best things I ever did. Just make sure the person removing the alarm knows exactly what they're doing! Good luck!

Well thanks for that Art, I certainly won't be pressing the buttons then, might just put the fob in the glove box in a box just in case I accidentally press it until I can get it sorted.

Dad just stopped by with his new rifle, and M4 300 blackout, 7.62X39. Interesting round

what i've read is that it is a slow round, not terribly common, and fills a niche that didn't need filling. again, that is what i've read, i have no real opinion or experience with this cartridge. what do you think?

When you get the plates, let me know...I'll show you and your husband the very nice back roads in our area.

Well done.

Seems strangely quite. Oh yeah the band is gone.

Noah930 11-04-2012 06:31 PM

Actually, they're still playing. You've just lost your hearing.

A great race. Too bad they didn't show more of Vettel's climb through the pack.

A great and deserved result for Kimi. He shows he's still got it. Loved his comments to his engineer over the radio.

Closer to the truth than you know. Look up baha.

GH85Carrera 11-04-2012 08:17 PM

Yea, Kimi's reply was perfect.

RKDinOKC 11-04-2012 08:25 PM

Yeah, sounded like a bit of grief going on between Kimi and the crew.

Think Vettles fuel foible was a smoke screen for making big changes to the setup before the race.

Too much round not enough powder. I have no idea why he bought it, he has an M! a 30.06 a 7mm an 8mm, all much more productive in this range of lead

Morning, Rick.

Rick V 11-05-2012 01:31 AM

Howdy Dave.
Hey I have a great idea for you. You could build your own line of small amps, like The Orange series, and put them in beautiful wood cases. I think there would be a real niche for these.

slodave 11-05-2012 02:22 AM

Sigh. I typed a response and Pelican barfed as I hit submit. It's not so easy, Rick. I wish it were.

Rick V 11-05-2012 02:29 AM

Yeah got the Pelican boot too.
I know it isn't easy but I was thinking some form of high dollar, low run type of thing. :)

slodave 11-05-2012 02:32 AM

I spent a little time (little) at this past NAMM with a few of the makers. It's not going to be easy. :) Like guitars, you need to know somebody that is willing to work with you to develop the sound, then hope it catches on and you can then tweak it.

Rick V 11-05-2012 02:56 AM

The little Orange "Tiny terror" got me thinking and the little tube kids are becoming very popular again. My little squirrel brain said..............Hmmmmmmmmmm I'll bet Dave could make a nice little sum with this.
