| I don't like stuff sticking out the hood ... BUT I think I could get used to the view from the drivers seat of that Chevelle. An old friend I recently got back in touch with in Canada puts SBCs into Porsche 914s what a good thing, turn a crappy little car into a pocket rocket. No point posting pics as they look stock, that makes them even more fun.

I hear you. But if you do have stuff sticking out of your hood...YOU BETTER BE ABLE TO BACK IT UP!. Because in this age of computers there are alot of stock looking 9 and 10 second cars out there. |

| Strewth! That really is a piece of kit! I had boats half my life and only gave them up when I came out to Africa to live. (Lost all my pictures of them, along with umpteen others a few years ago) but on the subject of boat names. I had one called 'DON'T PANIC' with the name upside down on the boat and the last boat I owned was a 30 foot cabin cruiser..... When I bought it, my then wife was badgering me about what I was going to call it and she kept saying how nice it would be if I named it after the woman I loved. (Her words, not mine) So I named the boat 'MOODY COW' Shortly after that, I lived on the boat for six months whilst my divorce was going through.

| [IMG:left]  [/IMG] How about 511 hp in a 2300 lb. car between turns 1 and 2 at Carolina Motorsports Park? A LOT of very expensive fun but worth it for a weekend. Now it just sits in the garage 'cause the new wife doesn't like Cobras

| Make me an offer. I might have the new(er) Jag convertible to trade. If she doesn't like the current series XK-8's there is no hope. Have you ever considered that she just doesn't like you? Rich just kidding... |
