  1. James was proof that heart mattered. He was told his entire life that he was "too small". Dude flat out could play. I think he played 5 years in NFL and at one point had the NFL single season record for total yardage. And it stood for a long time. RIP - you were a player.
  2. Had the same thought. Phrasing shows up again
  3. Look at estate sales. Lots of encyclopedia's show up there
  4. Fred definitely came in 4th place in that group
  5. Sure does And for those who remember it from a few years ago - still haven't got the trigger fixed yet
  6. I have a cheap Maratec on my Sub. It is essentially a NATO without all the extra stuff
  7. I have programmed a second fob for three different cars. Yep - it's a racket with dealers. For the cars I found, that if you have at least one working remote, you can do it. Instruction for both cars were on the web. It definitely involved a lot of goofy crap (turn key three times, lock/unlock doors three times etc) to get into programming mode. In the end the on line instruction saved a bunch
  8. Probably starting a flame war but does anyone use the chronograph function on Daytonas or other chronos? Every vendor seems to have a model but wondering if anyone uses it. On the other hand I haven't used the rotating bezel on my Sub very much either
  9. They said the opposite to me. Mine will auto renew at list price so I get to call next year. I am just glad to get 12 months and both cars on same bill. used to have to call every six months for 2 cars = 4 calls per year
  10. Just renewed this week. 2 cars with platinum for about 225 for both for one year
  11. Can you play thru your own foursome?
  12. I think we need a side thread on how to cheat at golf
  13. On my Sub it was time when it totally stopped running.
  14. Th judges would have accepted vaseline also. Players used it for years to cut down the spin and make the ball avoid hooks or slices

    RIP Meat Loaf

    This. Steinman is very under rated.
  16. I was a poor grad student and had to use the cheap method - piece of rubber hose in the ear and listening. SU (Seldom Understood) carb's were a piece of work. The manual was no help - it said "turn the adjusting nut until it sounds right". The problem was 3 dimensional. Had to get it sounding right on 2 devices and get the rpm's correct. Getting 2 of the 3 was easy.
  17. My favorite story was driving down I-59 to Tuscaloosa while in college. About midnight where the mercedes plant is now. Dark as it could be and suddenly the headlights turn off and the wipers start working. I was looking around for the UFO. Pulled into the rest stop and everything came back on and didn't happen again.
  18. Some Lucas humor. Those who haven't had a Lucas based car probably wonder why we bash them so much https://www.mez.co.uk/lucas.html
  19. Did not know this until recently. The wonderful Amphicar (both car and boat) used Lucas. Lucas and water together - what could go wrong? At least on land you can coast to the side of the road
  20. Company motto - be home before dark Lucas disliked my MGA in college and tried to light it on fire by shorting the starter switch and melting a bunch of wires nearby. Luckily the MGA was so simple (only 2 fuses) that the fire repair only took 2-3 hours and part of that was getting to the store to but a roll of new wire...
  21. Well the Tiger name on the back fooled me...
  22. Why is there a Triumph emblem in the engine compartment? Sunbeam was a different company.
  23. Yes but years ago so not much help. However I learned to ski at Ogden and it was great - almost no crowds during the week. You can also fly into Ogen and drive down to SLC. It's not that far
  24. Just shortening clubs without adjusting the lie angle isn't going to help much.
