Stijn!!

Fall has arrived. It is 49° outside, and the high is only going to be maybe 70°

I like it!

I wannna do it again!

[RKDinOKC]

Got a r/c plane motor in some kind of translated english instructions. The adjustment instructions for it running either rich or lean were exactly the same. My guess is they copies the english for turning the adjustment screw and forgot to make the change word left to right.

[GH85Carrera]

We were boys, we looked at the instructions once to laugh, and threw em in the trash. I don't need no stinking instructions. And if someone is so stupid as to knot know how to adjust the lean rich mixture on the model airplane engine they did not matter anyway. We only ran they wide open, we did not have the fancy throttles that RC airplanes used, one speed, full ahead wide open!

[RKDinOKC]

Went to an R/C Formula 1 plane race. They were restricted to .40 sized engines. They also used surgicsl tubing as a pressurized fuel tank to force more fuel in so they would run faster and so the g-force of turning would not effect the mixture. They were very fast. in 200 ft they did not have time to come off knife edge for the next turn. Heard of one going out of control and hitting a chain link fence. The nose cone came off, went through, and killed a spectator that was behind the fence.

Still understand the fastest r/c planes are gliders despite the development of r/c jet engines.

Morning all. Its 39* out right now. Had 1.5 days of sun that almost made 70 over the weekend. I think tonight is cut the remaining tomatoes off the vine and scrap the plant for the winter.

We did that with the Durango. Best thing we ever did to that thing. the lighting is so much better. We got ours from TheRetrofitSource.com.

Does your GPS yell JEEFFFEERRYYY when you go someplace it doesn't like?

I think fall is here. It is not raining and the temps are fall like for now. If it kept raining I was worried the house would float away and we are on a hill.

On the way home last night there was a BMW parked in the ditch by our house. Seems they ran out of gas. I had some premium in a can for the mower so I topped them off. The driver then asked if he could turn around where he was and I said I would watch for traffic, or he could go 50 feet and us a turnaround there. He said OK, started the car and did a half u turn and drove into directly the bean field. The woman passenger got out and yelled at him that she was driving now. I am pretty sure there was a fair amount of alcohol involved. At least she got out of the bean field and down the road. There was a gas station 3 miles from where they were at no matte which way they went at the intersection.

The $5 of gas was well worth the entertainment.

I always wondered why the “Ultimate Driving Machines” were frequently driven by knuckleheads.

[Porsche-poor]

because life would be boring if they weren't drive by them.

Oh and Brent my GPS yells "DAVID" and them proceeds to follow around after I get out of the car discussing where its thinks I went wrong...….

[flipper35]

I was remembering Jeff's little dune adventure with Sharon.

Jim, for a long time I thought a BMW would be awesome, and I still think an older one would be fun to drive. Maintenance however...

This guy didn't keep the wheel turned, it was a 90* off the road romp through the soybeans. All I thought was Emily had the truck with the tow rope and I wasn't that hospitable to invite them in. At least they had good tire. Maybe even great tires.

Oh, and it wasn't hitting on all cylinders. Driver, engine, passenger, take your pick.

I had a flying wing. It was a kit called a Voodoo. I modified it from the get go, Move the engine way back near the leading edge, and put a box that I built out of fiberglass. Instead of the surgical tube, I used a baby's pacifier. No I did not steal it from a baby. I would go to the drug store and buy 10 or so pacifiers at a time. All I needed was the rubber bulb the baby chewed on. The rest was trash. Those would inflate and squirt the fuel 15 feet if the end came off. One pacifier was about 3 minutes. It would do just over 110 and on a 80 foot line than was spinning around dang fast. I had to stand in one spot and do the stunt flying and it was so dang fast it was a real challenge.

Haha, I've got the same model. I'm sure it going to argue with the new unit now.

No where near as fast as the slope soaring guys, but this guy gets some crazy speed, especially considering it’s electric and built out of foam board!

It is 47 degrees outside this morning.

On Thursday night the local Porsche dealership is having the big introduction of the new 911. They asked the club for some guys to bring over some of the older models. My 911 is representing the G body 911 as a classic 911 body style.

One of the funny bit of trivia, Porsche called that era of body the G body. My 1985 911 is white with a burgundy interior. My El Camino is one yer newer, but GM called it the G body and it too is white with a burgundy interior. Almost like theme or something. It was all just chance, with of course excellent taste is vehicles.

[Porsche-poor]

Morning all. its 39* here. Both cars G body and named Glen...……..hmmmmm.

[Outback Porsche]

He's found his g spot?

[Porsche-poor]

he's 3G compatible.

[GH85Carrera]

Yep, 3G compatible in the 5G world.

[Porsche-poor]

you just need 2 more "G's"
