    Securing / Bolting Seats in a Tornado

    Gregg, that appears to be a carefully crafted reply, in a Clintonesque sort of way. I am a consultant and I do work for Texas Instruments, Hess, and Wal-Mart but, like you, I am not on their payroll. I do, however, have a business relationship with them. I would expect that there must have...

    Securing / Bolting Seats in a Tornado

    Really? I had heard that you have (or perhaps had) a business relationship with a certain manufacturer on this forum. If that is indeed true, then perhaps you, or your client, actually does have a horse in this race.

    Securing / Bolting Seats in a Tornado

    I would've thought that being a pain in the ass is paramount with you. Let's extend this line of critical thinking, shall we? According to the late Carrol Smith, rivets should only be used in shear. My RF uses rivets (and adhesive) to fasten the bottom panel to the space frame, and I...

    4 things about yourself...

    I'll play. A) Four jobs I have had in my life: 1) Copy boy for Dallas Morning News. 2) Parts clerk for the maintenance arm of an air cargo company that operated DC-3s. 3) Short-order cook. 4) Hydrogeologist. B) Four films I would watch over and over: 1, Grand Prix. 2, Pulp...

    Engine braking (good or bad)

    I know some people hate it and swear that you will break your engine, but I have fond memories of my father downshifting and using engine braking on his Alfa before he turned into our driveway. It's how I remember knowing that Dad was home. Now I find myself doing it because I turn into a long...

    Ferrari 360 engine and transaxle

    I must've missed this thread last year but I'm glad I read it today. That's a nice setup. I assume it's a flat-plane crank? Is the OEM Ferrari exhaust a tri-Y setup? I'm also curious on your asking price for that setup. Nice thread!

    Un PC Speech gets TV presenter arrested.

    Just amazing, especially considering that stories like this pop up regularly out of the UK. You Limeys are in serious need of a revolution.

    I guess getting excited and talking about it works...

    I'm certainly not the most financially responsible person, but I don't think it's a good idea to finance toys, particularly when there's a family to be provided for. Do you own a house? Do you have money set aside for the wedding? Do you put money away for your new daughter's education? If...

    Another moron

    What's with the hand wringing over this "hyper-limited 612 ho beast?" Roush slapped a pulley kit on it, added tinted windows and powder coated the wheels and put a couple stickers on. That's it? Oh, yeah, the uber-scarce Roush number plate. This package probably goes for, what, $50,000...
