Tom, you're not going to believe this, but my new race car is disturbingly like your #2 scheme. Here is a really bad photo and you will probably need a Yahoo ID to view... http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/groups/g_11752116/__hr_IMGP1619.jpg?bcdfUgABC5HUyMPQ steve

>>>>I found orange paint on my 240<<<< That's it. Bye. steve

Deer whistles have their fans. I've never had one. No one I know has one. But you see them and people swear by them. And I'm the one that hit the deer! Guess I shoulda had a whistle! steve

WOW! You posted that TWO DAYS AGO??? That's what I get for beng scarce around here the past month or so. Unbelievable. So there was one on e-bay claiming originality. And we are still waiting for someone else to know of an orange 280. Thanks for finding that, pimp-dude--errrrrrrr--Michael. Hello? Anyone? Hello? Beuller? .... Bueller? .... Bueller? steve

My 77 is orange underneath the metallic green. I have never in my life seen an orange 280. Door sills, behind panels--all the places of an original colour. Anyone else? Could the orange be a second coat? steve

I hit three deer in one night in my first HSL30. Made a muss of the hood. But that was when I was a kid--and my parents live in deer country (Mt. Lassen). The worst thing you can do is try to avoid. Up there it is a constant event. I was driving home on Thanksgiving morning once and found a Honda Accord parked in the middle of the road (two-lane-highway). Papa had gotten out, but mama was still sitting in the passenger seat holding two pumpkin pies in her lap. Unfortunately the windshield was covering the pies like Saran-wrap! Grandma and kids were still in the back seat--covered in deer hair! Deer was ghost! Anyone here listen to Don Imus? He plays a reading from a book written by an older woman in the southwest. Can't remember the name. He uses it for a bumper. Goes something like this: "'Mother always stopped for roadkill. She said it was a crime to let good meat go to waste. Possoms, coons, rattlesnakes. She would cry, "Pull over!" to poke at a fresh victim of the highway. She drew the line at armadillos. "Too stupid to eat." she said.'" steve

I smell a rat. I don't think that earring is standard issue. steve

Good one, Mike! steve

Northern California Zers The MSA event is two weeks away !!! I have a tentative trip schedule for the ZONC caravan to the MSA event. Currently it's loose (except for the start time) as far as exact meeting places, but here goes. Friday, April 23rd: 7:30 AM Leave Flag City at the I-5 highway 12 junction (South of Sacramento) Good place for breakfast if you arrive early 8:30 AM Westly rest stop to pick up Bay Area and Tracy/Modesto Contingent 10:00AM Santa Nella for South bay contingent and those from Merced, Turlock area (at the Ramada Inn parking area, Highway 33 at I-5) We will be in the area of Harris Ranch Restaurant about noon and we can stop for lunch, walk, etc 2:00PM Grapevine (just south of the I-5 /99 junction) for south San Joaquin Valley people. If traffic is light at that time of day should pull into Orange at 4:00 - 4:30. If anyone plans on joining up with us, contact: Ron Fuller cvzonc@hotmail.com so we know what to expect. Should be a fun trip!!

There is always LOTs of for sale signs at MSA. Kindoa a 'everyting has its price' type of mentality. There are a few people are honestly trying to sell, but It hink most of it is fishing. Typically you can spot the 'feelers' because their prices are double to triple what the car is worth. Last year a good friend of mine drove his 240 down at the last minute for the specific reason of selling it. Admission to the show is cheaper than a newspsper ad! And he sold it. There are always a few people with stuff to sell. I don't think MSA smiles on it, and there were rumours last year of them cracking down on it. Still there are always a few junk parts in people's trunks! Very little good stuff, although last year there was this guy with a backpack full of re-man clocks. And EricP had some good stuff and sold most of it. Also someone else was walking around with a triple set-up for practically nothing. He didn't carry it around for very long. steve

Give yourself any extra 100 points if you have 220.....(In AMERICA!!!) steve

Do not count garage door opener outlets on the ceiling!!! I don't care how much crap you have plugged into them! If I ever build my own house, there will be one every foot..... steve

Is this an L28? steve

MSA has promised a more streamlined entry/sorting process. That will be nice. Probably don't have to be there as early this year... Craig, get in touch with Ted or someone over at CLUBZ or check HYBRIDZ. They each will have caravans coming down from the Bay Area. steve

Mikuni's like 3 lbs. But you gotta keep them fed. This is the cheapest pump I have found for them http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=CRT%2DP4594 . And that is with a clean (preferably 1/4) system as Alan suggests. Other than that, find yourself a Red or Blue. steve

You gotta put the pointer on the bottom edge of the picture just above the 'I' in 'picture'. HMMMMMMMMMMM

I watch wrasling for the drama, not auto racing. Oh, but then perhaps...oh, nevermind. You're right, there is no difference between the cars. Neckar is spec racing, pure and simple. The purest form. steve

Neckar....Indy league...there's a diference? Oh yeah...one is open wheel. One is the absolute ultimate form of spec racing--only uni-directional--and the other is a lot of great talent and phenomenal machinery going to waste. They both suck. Road race or die. steve

Yes! The Duel. Strangest hour and a half I have ever subjected myself to (several times). Just got a really clean copy of 'C'est etait un Rendezvous'. Watched it numerous times and while great, there are some 'issues' I have with it........ steve

Do they teach NOTHING but Spanish in school these days?!?!?!?!? PLEASE DEAR GOD...Make it STOOOOOOOOOOP...........

C'est etait un Rendezvous Mad Max--The Road Warrior The S4 in Ronin was awsome and classic. What was the one with the truck who chases the guy all day long. Creepy. The Chase? Was it Steve McQueen or...or...or? I'm getting old. steve

I have bid against someone I knew (and from here) at least once. My ID was a bit more obvious than his and he e-mailed me, "What'ya doin?!?!?!" steve

Just got a new one today...there is a nice whited-out 240 on the front with these funky Pana/Mini-looking wheels. Inside the front cover they are selling 'Racer-style 8-spoke alloy wheels'. 15X6 is the only size and $219 each or 750 a set. Who makes these things? You would think they could at least get 'Z' center caps! Also, when you check the credits, it says "Front cover photo 'altered from original photo'", so they added the wheels! I haven't shopped for Pana's for a while so don't know how they compare in price. steve
