WoW DISC!!! Are you a mechanic? If you are then me and you share a common interest!!!

I know how you feel though....the last thing that you want to do after work is work on your own car.

I like the ladies!!! LOL! But, i wouldnt put them on my car.....well maybe. But, never on a classic! Its really up to you....

If I had a El Camino....Id stick to the classic look. But, thats just me. Do your own thing...be original! If you like the ladies than I say GO FOR IT!!!

yeh that rag top is sweet, well i discovred two things from a bash tonight, rcmonkey is a legend, he bought me a venom fireball 19t and now the cougars goin very nicely (a lot smoother than my old motors ) and also that driving on a very wet dark night is a very bad idea lol, it had finnally stopped raining so i thought excellent time to test out the new motor, went out, was having a great time and i ended up sticking it full speed into a 4-8cm deep pool of water, no damage that i know of yet, i just drove it straight out and disconnected the battery lol, and emptied the water out llf! anybody here ever drivin into deep water by mistake?

anybody here ever drivin into deep water by mistake?
A buddy drove my Mid SE into a pretty big puddle (only the top of the body was sticking out), but the LRP F1 ESC lived on. Nothing was broken, although one has to wonder if anything degraded. This was 8 years ago.

My neighbor flipped the same Mid SE this summer, landed top down on a puddle. Still worked ok.

Needless to say, neither is allowed to drive my stuff anymore.

Sweet. I'd love to get a cougar, and another Cat (ProCat maybe). Wish I had the time for them, though. I barely do for what I have now. Tough part is, ebay UK is where all the Cats are at (but still a bit rare there). Shipping to the USA kills ya.
