The Junk Box

427SnakeSC 714 posts Jun 11, 2008 3:43 AM	I thought I would start a thread so you could post just about anything, if it doesn't relate to anything else. I'll start with my plans for the night. I am meeting up with a friend tonight, at a Show & Shine. Weather permitting, he is bringing his new car. I'll post pics tomorrow, with his permission. "There is nothing nice about a Cobra. It's stripped down to the essentials, a big engine, a small car, and four wide tires to keep the whole business on the pavement. It's loud, smells like gasoline, and shakes, shudders, and bucks. It makes your arms tired and your feet hot. You nearly crash about once every 10 minutes. It's so damn wonderful that you can't believe it." Last Edited on 11-Jun-2008 9:56 AM

427SnakeSC 716 posts Jun 11, 2008 6:22 AM	Nomad, I guess if you feel that close to her, you could do that. Myself, I would only want to place my ex-mother-in-law in front of a firing squad! LOL! To each his own! ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra. It's stripped down to the essentials, a big engine, a small car, and four wide tires to keep the whole business on the pavement.

I am thinking that is why we haven't heard from Ron in a couple of days. Ron, if you get access to a computer, give us an update. ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra.

Ron75 476 posts Jul 04, 2008 4:34 AM	Bruce, Actually that news was not correct. There are areas here that have been evacuated but not the whole Shasta Lake area. They are beginning to get some containment on the big fire over by the dam, but it will be weeks if not months before all of them are out and even longer before this stinking smoke clears out of the valley. And we still have two of our worst fire months ahead of us. I am tired of staying inside but ever the pups don't weant out in this smoke and ash and they are bored as I am. Ron ---------- Ron Widener

Nomad SENIOR MEMBER 246 posts Jul 08, 2008 7:49 AM	TEN WAYS TO MAKE DRIVING LESS BORING Write the words "Help me" on your back window in red paint. The more it looks like blood, the better. Wave at people often. If they wave back, offer an angry look and an obscene gesture. Hang numerous car-fresheners in the rear-view mirror. Talk to them, stroking them lovingly. Keep at least five cats in the car. Stop and collect roadkill. Stop at the green lights. Go at red ones. Have conversations, looking periodically at the passenger seat, when driving alone. Wear a Chicken suit. At stop lights, eye the person in the next car suspiciously. With a look of fear, lock your doors. These ALL work guys.................. trust me. ---------- In dog years, I am dead.
427SnakeSC Administrator 923 posts Jul 08, 2008 8:07 AM	Well, it's happened! What we all feared, but knew would happen some day! Nomad has lost all touch with reality!

Joe Wicked 30 posts Jul 09, 2008 7:10 AM	It is funny how some of the most beautiful things in nature are the most deadly. Fire is one of the best examples of this. While terrifying, it has a lure that can keep you mesmerized for hours.
427SnakeSC Administrator 933 posts Jul 09, 2008 9:22 AM	WOW Ron, like Joe said, beautiful, but deadly! That is really an incredible pic!

427SnakeSC Administrator 934 posts Jul 09, 2008 10:15 AM	Good one Ron! I guess I am being naive here, but us folk up in the Great White North, have been led to believe that all Cali women are 6 ft., blond Amazons!

427SnakeSC Administrator 956 posts Jul 13, 2008 4:41 AM	There is a company here, I talked with last week, that is trying to put together a dream vacation for car lovers. They will ship your car to Germany, book all hotels and you get to run the Autobahn! How cool would that be! Also, I have heard on the grapevine, that Shelby will attempt to put together a 4 day event next year at Mosport. All Shelby autos would be welcome and have a chance to run the track! Now that would be excellent! Count me in! ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra.

Ron75 SENIOR MEMBER 513 posts Jul 15, 2008 12:50 PM	Nomad, No, they wouldn't let you bring it across the border as you are the registered owner, but since it wouldn't belong to me technically the law shouldn't apply. And I wouldn't tell them I had Borrowed it from you. Once I got half way across, I would leave two big black strips heading South into this country. Ron ---------- Ron Widener

I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this, but I have recently learned (from two separate sources) that Superformance will no longer be operating in Canada, and Transport Canada will not, under any circumstances, allow Superformance to import cars into Canada, ever! The value of all existing SPF's in Canada just shot up! ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra.

427SnakeSC Administrator 1187 posts Sep 19, 2008 11:25 AM	From what I have learned, Macro (Superformance Canada) was bringing SPF's into the country basically complete and assembled. When Transport Canada objected Macro (Len & Al) told Transport Canada to go "rub salt!" To add insult to injury, there was the little episode of Al, pushing the Transport Canada officer out of the SPF display area at a car show. It seems to me that Transport Canada has an axe to grind! ---------- "There is nothing nice about a Cobra.
