Is it Throat Punch Thursday yet?

OK, maybe I'm being juvenile, but that made me laugh. heh heh, heh heh

Joe, ask that chick at the gym if she could get there a little earlier, cause waiting for her to show up so you can stalk her is wearing you out.

Hehehe

It's just ice cream, and I'm sticking to my story.

ROSO? say what? Splain yo self woman

ROSO, Australian Army term - Return Of Service Obligation for training investment.

and pronounced, roz-oh ;)


morning btw

Pete, how long do you have before you have to make use of the plow up there? 6 weeks?

Just reading Mike's thread on his offer to let any Pelican drive his car. Not sure I could do that with the Cobra. I let a few people drive it without me, but even with me along all it takes is one missed shift (as has happened, without any damage fortunately) right now and we would have some valve issues. I had an ignition with a rev limiter but it failed and need to get another, that would help.

Of course, all you Stijn guys & gals are good to go. :)

Friend asked me to drive his 944 Turbo on a local PCA Saturday tour. Told me to not to be afraid to accelerate hard and drive like a maniac. He drove another car from his collection. We switched cars at lunch for the drive back. After we got back to his garage he told me there was some hesitation in the throttle response that the mechanics couldn't fix. On the drive back he found that whatever I did fixed the problem. I never noticed any hesitation, think it just needed an Italian Tune Up.

Same guy has asked me to take an autocross lap in his cars. Said if I beat his time in his car he needed to work on his driving skills and not spend money on performance upgrades.

When my Chiropractor got a new BMW M3 he took the BMW high speed driver training. Said he was the fastest in the group, but the instructors were much faster. Said he asked them how they could be so much faster. They said, "Easy, these are not our cars!"

A friend of mine got to run with those instructors at the shop where he worked in Chicago. He ran with them, but they weren't his cars either.

Takes me a while to get used to my cars because I approach the limits slowly and only in places where runoff is available and plentiful. Once I learn the limits, I push em.

That's one of the reasons I started an autocross school at the local PCA. To provide a day of being able to find and exceed the limits of you car with exercises setup with plenty of runoff. The only difficult thing to setup and practice is a slalom but only because resetting cones takes so long.

Most people almost refuse to let loose and find the limits so they can learn what to do let alone where the limit is.

Not if you have someone else there to set them up for you. Should be made out of Weebles, they never fall down.

But they do wobble!

That makes it interesting for the second person through the slalom.

Closer to 8 or 9 weeks before we get snow deep enough to plow but you never know. We had a hard (killing) frost night before last.

Wow, with luck we might get the hurricane after Sid & Tweze are done with it. They are likely not looking forward to it like we are. A good hurricane kinda messes up the coast and the folks that don't need much rain but we like em. The computer forecasts predict a couple of inches over 4 days for us. The extreme is 12 inches. 12 inches in 4 days would be wonderful. 12 inches in 12 hours would cause some flooding in low lying areas but not around here.

In the end, moma nature will do it what she does and there is nothing we can do but talk about it.

Anyone gotten an arse in the new Maserati Ghibli? 66k for a pretty damn sex 4 door Italian beast!

Hurricanes suck when they hit here. I live on the east side of the mountains and most times the storms just hit them and skateboard around here like a drunken monkey hopped on some acid.

By the time they get to us they are just typical thunderstorms. No big deal except they sometimes bring a bunch of rain. We would love a bunch of rain in western OK to central OK. Eastern OK s not dry.
