How easy is it to drive the truck in urban locations?

Avon? Or the new Nova company? Nova has a list of distributors. https://novamotorsport.com/find-a-distributor/ (In the US, I haven't bought from them recently, but I recommend Sasco)

How can anyone not notice what's happening in their back seat?

I strongly suggest that when you're going to do something that might be questionable legally, don't mention it on a public forum. Who knows who might see your post. Today, I saw two posts, one new and one old, that said (paraphrasing): - I'll take it off once the car passes inspection. - It...

The link for this has disappeared, so it's time for a new link https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/dave-barry-on-men-women.215151/ BTW, taking a quick look at the site, it looks useful if you have any questions about oil for your car(s).

I just found that in 1970, Heathkit came out with a 1/8 scale GT40 RC car. It was the first successful R/C car. It had a small gas/petrol engine in back (mid-engine like the original, but transverse mounted). It's the Heathkit Spectre GD-101. According to the ad, it has a top speed of 25...

If the Gurney Weslake heads go on Ford blocks, would a standard head gasket for a Ford block fit?

Cool! They have the old LAT archives.

I don't know what happened at Detroit, but Audrain has judging. https://www.audrainconcours.com/2025apply Near the top (after the list of classes), there's a section that describes how they do judging.

From BAT: "The body is finished in a red and white livery replicating that worn by the 1967 Le Mans-winning Mark IV." I think J-10 would have done better at auction if they hadn't done that. The car deserves its own identity, instead of turning it into a replica..

I forgot to mention that as you drive to Newport, you'll go past the Newport Car Museum (it's not associated with the Audrain Museum). They have 100+ cars on display. https://newportcarmuseum.org/ I've driven past it several times, but unfortunately I still haven't gone in (most of the time...
