the only light they let me see is from the window in my padded cell........................................but the doctors reckon with therapy and support I will over come this ford phase!!!!!!!!!!!!! the doctor reckons its a bit like having a mental breakdown ,
except all you want to do is drive something that keeps breaking down , and leaving piles of rust behind it !!!!!!!!!!! 
So heed this tale of woe bod and get yourself straight to the doctors!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Mr Bowtie, what are you trying to say????

Nothing wrong with MOPURRS, just don't bounce them hard off the limiter and you won't create an airconditioned block! hehehehehe

Mrs mopurrr
the engine wrecker!

thats strange ?? I can do that with chevy blocks as well???? ooh that looks expensive ha.ha.

Its all down to pedigree!!!

If you are as common as muck then I'm sure a Chevy is a real good engine.

I would type more, but Ive got to go and have my foot X-rayed......Just tripped over another Chevy!!!!

---

pedigree "!!!!!!!!! ha,ha....i've seen the pictures of you ..pin up boy !!!!!!!!
the only reason your foot hurts is because youve had to push a broken down ford again................. be seeing you at the xmas tree???????

True colours showing now!!!!!

Only a chevy driver would challenge a street car with a strip car!!!!!

Still the advantage of mopar is less cubes, more torque....still in for a penny in for a pound

Now, do you want to boast about how you beat me whilst running the standard 318 or do you want to wait until next year, when the big block is in it?

I have never taken a car down the strip in anger and will be up for it.  Not in a serious way, but I think we should all have a go.  Shreks got a 440 under the hood of his Camaro!!

There is no point in building a gasser if I never use it!!!

The big block needs some time and money, so this winter is getting it set up and the new engine built ready for next year.   Does this mean your Camaro is hitting the road, or a new project  (100e?)

Have I been drinking....now that was a stupid thing to say!!! Only 2 bottles of red cos ive got to get up early and be in lancashire for 9am.  Im sorry, I dont know why, I thought you had a camaro....Deepest apologies






Bloody Chevys all look the same!!!

The big block is in bits under the work top....to much else to do for the minute, but Im thinking it might have to have a big belt and a nast whine!!!!

but the egine will be the heaviest part of my car!!! you have 10 tons of detroit pig iron!!!

My body is my temple and you are only jelous you dont have my physique!!

Ive got to turn in mate....I have just found there is more than one 4 o clock and ive got to find it!!!

My work shop is on the sudbury/ colchester road in a village called asssington. Some of the ahra and old skool have workshops there. you and any member of turtlespeed are welcome down for a cuppa on a sunday.

There every week except this one coming as my boy is home from Iraq on leave and we are having Xmas!!!

seen the photograhic evidence looks more like a cathederal than a temple

Synagogue!!!!  Only Kosher bacon rolls for me.... the photos didnt show to much or you would have known my religeon!!!

The wife said chippoltas were an exageration!!!

Night

This Ford V Chevy thing is starting to get on my tits, it will probably go on 'till the end of time but lets give it a rest on here.
For those of you with little auto historical knowledge   HUDSON in '51 to '54 were top winners in Nascar  winning 78 events!! Olds coming in second with a measly 48 wins. And that was with their 'ol flathead 6pot!! Marshall teague was Nascar champ for Hudson in 1952 winning with more than a thousand points ahead of any competitor. It wasn't until Chrysler brought out the hemi did Hudson have any competition.(Ford and Chevy weren't even in the frame)Hudson had been winning and setting new records since they began in 1909.
IE.... Hill climb records at Pikes peak, Mt Washington and Lookout Mountain, the original auto tour de france.Performance records at Bonneville, Datona, endurance records nation wide.The list could go on and on.
You want something with history and pedigree....
Buy a Hudson....

well its like this. you can please some people some of the time, but you can't please every idiot all the time......
Oi, bumpy,,,, love the history lesson!!!!!!! not......
but saying that and having digested what your point of view is........i.e. vintage hurl...sons,
nascar, hill climbing at pikes peak, etc...and what with your classic pickup I am now convinced that you are a red neck........................ha.ha.

if the hudson lump was that good bumpy why is your pickup running a 302 FORD !!!!!!!!!

Another short history lesson for the un-informed,
Hudson re-designed it's flat 6 with the introduction of the 'stepdown' in 1948 which means it's a totally different animal to what was originally in my truck..... truck also being a key word as even today very few commercial vehicles get the same spec. engines as their passenger vehicle equivalents. What with that and the 'commercial rear gears yes my truck originally was a slug but a 65 year old slug that probably earned its keep the hard way as most pickups do but it's here today and if only it could talk, what tales it would have to tell!
Hudson were also one of the first to build cars using the 'unit body' construction (starting of course in 1948)

me and dell were sitting here having a civilised discussion about chevy's and ford' s.........what else ??????????
but reading your reply we have both nearly fallen asleep ......yawn..yawn....

Are you two thinking about how to weld the doors together on each side to make one big one, you might just get in it then! you should've known they didn't make those little girlie cars in your size, or are you building a tot rod.Good practice for when you buy a real car again I guess.
