Have you heard about the Oscar Pistorius drinking game?......... Every time your wife goes to the bathroom you take four shots.

Jim, I think the hardest part of the revamp wouldn't be the expenses for F1 but instead, making parts available "for every Ferrari ever made". It sounds good, providing support for all those trying to keep their cars running without having to bribe a machine shop for special one-off items, but...

The Lime Rock Historic Festival kicked off with the Thursday Historic Parade through the streets from the track to the New England town of Falls Village. The gathering had some ancient and some modern machinery with a mix of race cars and spectator vehicles making up an eclectic mix. There were...

Looks like you may not need the jacket, at least for Thursday and Friday. It may struggle to reach 70 Degrees today but the heat comes back, finally, after a very cool summer, for the end of the week. May even see 85 or so.

Just a caution to those folks coming from the South - bring a jacket if you're an early riser as it has lately been in the high 40's/low 50's at daybreak in the Lime Rock area and may be the same at the beginning of September.

I'm about 45 min from Lime Rock. I will be there for at least the 'through the villages' Historic parade on Thursday and the Sunday Concours. If you get here by mid day Thursday I would suggest going directly to the center of Falls Village, a quaint little New England village that is used as the...

With that interior you'd have to wear sunglasses even at night. Might appeal to the urban sector though.

Chuck, just something to think about but worth noting - The aircraft is not, obviously, a static machine, meaning as it flies it will twist, turn and vibrate with stress and engine speed. To me it would make sense to pull/push (or at least try to) on the fittings a bit to simulate active...

This is what the Mustang should have been, especially considering what Ford did to the T-Bird. https://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoramic/preserving-the-two-seat-ford-mustang--shorty--that-never-was-201257784.html

It is possible to keep it in a single bay if not too narrow. There is a method of getting in and out that involves stepping out over the front of the driver's door but you need longer legs or a sturdy step stool As for working on it, forget it......you have to reassemble everything to put it...

My first exposure to road racing, I was heartbroken when the road course closed down many years ago. This was also the first big-time course I had ever driven on. I was surprised by how deep the ruts were on the 'groove' sections of the oval track turns and how steep the banking was. Still have...

No way - front end's too big, rear end's too small !

The test stick turned pink.

Count me in for the Glen but not sure if I can make the March session in FL. Rick - It would be nice if we could have a rough outline of what we could expect for activities, on which days, so we can plan our days there... obviously, as soon as you have finalized them. I think this will result...

A-1 on the cupholder Chuck ! Even my 740i didn't have one.....frustrating with no place to put that morning cup-a-joe.

Know what you mean......On a smaller scale with the R/C's but no less repetitious, I always liked building the fuselage more and was happy when done with the wings. I think we've all been waiting for updates and it's a wings/wheels subforum so keep posting!

+1 on the material mismatch. Generally the newer roller cams would require a steel gear but if that cam is older (made for the 289 and uses iron for the gear you'll have to use an iron distributor gear.......and, Randy is right - you should disassemble the whole thing and clean all the passages...

The Glen in Sept 2015 is excellent. count me in. A GT40 featured Marque gathering at the Vintage event would have just the right flavor and the venue is tailor-made. Those of us in New England/eastern NY should be able to caravan out.

Personally, I would like to see it happen at the Glen and in 2015. This date will allow us to organize ourselves and still not be too far into the future as well as not to conflict with any other '50 th' celebrations. Additionally, it might make more original cars and racing personalities...

Nothing like the sound and the torque of a big block.
