  1. Coming in late and trying to understand what happened. It looks like the tide was underestimated and you had to make your own way out? others were not so lucky? If correct - how did you mis judge the tide so bad? i thought you were a frequent visitor there
  2. That look outstanding. Too late now but hopefully you put some black plastic down to cut back on future weeds
  3. One the subject of shots to win Open - almost no one remembers Jerry Pate's approach. they might remember his pants however also the shot by Pavin on 18 to clinch the Open gets mentioned but he did miss the putt
  4. A is the correct answer. Most people have no idea how darn good that shot was. As background - final round of US Open and slim lead. The wind is absolutely crazy off the ocean. He hits the pin and 2 inches away to seal the Open
  5. Teen takes tank to prom with flaming unicycle Darth Vader in front. Some of people makes an entrance
  6. At college in Birmingham there was one that showed XXX stuff. No idea how they kept the teenagers from hiding nearby
  7. Might try here https://www.jeepforum.com/forums/jeep-grand-cherokee-commander-forums.115/
  8. I have a lot of stuff similar to items mentioned 1. Two HP41C calculators - 1984. 2. High school track spikes - unusual item. Nike Americas from 1970s. A pair was offered by Sothby's for something like 4K 3. Any of my record albums from 70's. I do have the very rare Buckingham Nicks album. Never made it to CD for some contractual issues 4. High school letter jacket
  9. Not a Philistine but I was at that game. 11am kickoff and it was hot as blazes. Only loss of the year
  10. That harness looks like every owner screwed around with tapping into it. New harness is a great idea.
  11. I posted this but the shop has compared card 4 to two different, never been painted original cars and it matches. My problem is that is doesn;t seem to match what was called original in 80's
  12. The ability to only edit for 2-3 minutes stinks. The problem is not really trying to get 1960 version but to get what I thought the 1960 version was. I really liked the color we used in 80's and it may be a match. But the samples (4) don't seem to be the same as the picture from the 80's
  13. Apparently i went past the time to edit. (1) is 1979 VW Florida Blue which is supposed to be an exact match for Iris Blue. (4) is Iris Blue using todays paint. It also may be correct. The shop manager has a 1960 MG in Iris Blue that has never been painted and a triumph in his shop that has never been painted. He swears (4) is a match using hidden spots like inside trunk etc. he also sent me this piece that was cut of my car and buffed down to to show what the paint was that dad used.
  14. I have seen that chart multiple times and a few others. Also i appreciate the website you linked but I have been there too. The issue isn't that I didn't want to post but that everyone sees things different on different computers. And the issue really is not that I don't know what I want. But here goes with pictures. The car is a 1962 MGA. Here is my twin in early 80's. Both were same color - Iris Blue. Dad took his trunk lid to PPG store and matched the inside so it's close to how it was originally painted. Not quite the same as paint chart above Here are the two plates the shop sent back
  15. something like "nattering nabobs of negatism"...
  16. and it's time to choose the "correct" shade of Iris Blue for my MGA. The shop sent 3 samples and I am not sure any are what I remember the car being. I asked if we could take a time out until June when the national MGA club meets in Memphis. I could drive over and compare a lot easier. On the other hand no one knows exactly what the shade of Iris Blue was 60 years ago. Most paint codes have changed and the original was methyl cellulose based.
  17. Good ole Lucas - inventor of intermittent wiper. Corporate motto - be home before dark
  18. So you are digging the masterpiece for no reason other you wanted to? Have you considered some products from our new sponsor instead of manual labor?
  19. Could we get just a little more detail on this issue
  20. Growing up in Huntsville we had Picadilly and Britlings cafeterias. One of the Britlings was next door to the largest Baptist church. More than one other church played the BBB game - a minister described it as - we end the sermon at 10:45 to Beat the Baptists to Britlings.
  21. Just tossing out that the head of Apple went to Auburn. No idea if that changes anything or not in terms of getting SEC.
  22. Everything is short lived compared to clever's attempted hole. He must have worked on Boston's Big Dig in another life
  23. It's not a good position to be in this year - if you need a QB. There are a large number of them but no Joe Borrow or Trevor Lawrence - consensus number 1's. Gotta hand it to Carolina for having guts to trade in a year like this
  24. I drove my first one for 10 years - five as primary car. Sold it and bought a Miata in 1990.
  25. Using a classic shop in Holland Michigan. Quote is around 20K which is huge but it includes a lot of body work before painting. I probably could have saved a few grand by doing it locally but I didn;t know anyone and in this case the people doing the restoration know the shops and have complete control of the process
