I remembered that so many technical advancements are sometimes decades and longer to become viable, for many reasons. While 4 valve heads seem so modern they have been around since the early development of engines, metallurgy was not at the same level of development and so they became...

I doubt that would fit in a 400, no less a 40........

I remember seeing this engine many years ago, at least the design, never saw a running one. I would guess there are no advantages/benefits. The frictional loss was mentioned, but the manufacturing/development costs had to out weigh any potential advantage. The knowledge that it was dropped by...

Been a Jag fan since I was a kid. My first book on cars was on Jags, in the 1960s. They have a write up in it about the lightweights, as well as the early XK race cars. I haven't read it for maybe 20 years but this has made me decide to pull it off the shelf and read it again. Too bad so many...

Keith, I am curious, what was it that caused the change that you are referring to? I ask because other than viewing the garage sale stuff, I have been fairly absent during that period. I notice what has become a very "mantra" type of exchange and fairly disparaging references to persons with an...

I felt I should add that it isn't just in this forum, it is the same and sometimes worse on others...sports seem to really get the name calling activity to a frenzied pitch.

I agree completely, as so much is being made of the de-sensitizing that video games cause, it appears to be lost in the internet "debate?" exercise. Well spoken.

Amen brother, Amen. There was at one time a term called "classic liberal" many of our founding fathers fell into that category, the current labels have little do do with ANYTHING except fundraising dollars, maybe.

I couldn't get on craigslist at the same time I was unable to get on here. I just thought it was due to the weather affecting the area that both servers were located. Craigslist returned sometime yesterday, GT40s just became accessible within the last few hours. Merry Christmas to all.

I think the paddock should continue, but like the idea of the subforum someone mentioned. I have read some interesting posts that were in no way political or religious. I just did a search yesterday for an old one about Michis son's VW bug he was modifying, because there were some build details...

Don't know you Jim, but from your posts here it is apparent that on this topic you are very myopic. Do you not think the gun control groups make money off these incidents, of course they do and likely as much as the detested organization you mention. But that isn't reported the same, and it's...

I haven't posted for several years, a lot of home issues. I didn't expect that this would be the thread I would start again ( the transaxle scam was calling though). I was a Marine brat, to say the least, I was around all sorts of artillery/weapons. I lived in 18 homes by the time I was 18 and...

I love the size of the "booth". Now every small shop has a display that would put that to shame. My how things have changed.

I DON'T believe in SS. IT has been drained by the spendthrifts in congress and has been used for everything else and already is on the verge of collapse. So go ahead and believe in SS as you hand your money over to those fools. I do believe that SS will go belly up before the Tooth Fairy...

Not sure who might win, but if the last few decades are any indication... I can sure tell you who will lose.

I believe that is referred to as backspacing.

I know that House of Color has one. I am sure there are others, the House of Color version includes a bunch of cars in it so you can "paint" several types of vehicles. I have considered one for the shop, but the cost versus usage doesn't seem acceptable. It may be something that you and a few...

I definitely understand what the Bill of Rights is and why it is there. They were added to get all the states invloved at the time to come to an agreement that minimized the Federal powers. I doubt that the first 10 could be removed even with a 90% vote. If it is attempted, I would think that...

Inalienable is just that. Now reasonable regulation is NOT taking away that right. Reasonable is also nebulous. Depending one who is hearing that, would depend on what "reasonable" is. But the Bill of Rights as stated within the wording of the Constitution itself are INALIENABLE. I know that...
