Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

How close to taking to the sky did the MALIBUSTANG come?

Due to the Damn Pandemic----

And the Damn Arthritis---

Progress was slow but steady through our BEAUTIFUL summer---

By Thanksgiving--the snow was deep--the temp was below zero F.---time to load the trusty Benz--head to the Desert SouthWest!!

Is that the same truck you had way back when? Ford should make a commercial with that truck.

Gene, why do i get the feeling im being led down the garden path here ??????????
BIRD looks good, but does it soar??????

Total Lockdown should mean just that. Shut the bloody airports, close the seaports Shoot the illegals coming in on Lilo’s. Barmy Boris has only done half a job and screwed our economy. Just shut down the rest and we’re cured . Its not FECKIN rocket science, just plain old fashioned common sense .
Its been a year of half measures all ready. Lets have a month of TOTAL and we’re home free.

Same motor and drivetrain?

Same motor and drivetrain?

Engine is #3--I had to put new bearings in the 4-speed--couple U-joints--the truck is a 1968 F-250 'CAMPER SPECIAL' -- massive drum brakes and the FULL FLOATER rear end that will probably run FOREVER----

Boy, and i thought WE were in trouble .
WAS LED TO BELIEVE you guys had a NATIONAL GUARD ?
Now im afraid that the rest of the world is having a laugh at your expense ! You cant blame them really. But the „“state of the union“ is not exactly on an even keel, so to speak.
I am an American fan, i love the place, the people , i have lots of family there .
Some of My great grandchildren are born and bred AMERICANS , so i do have a vested interest.
I dont know whether the voting was rigged or not. For whatever reason, Trump is no longer president.
America is a democracy, By the people , for the people. Rules apply .
I have watched the president abused ,accused and attacked for one thing and another , way beyond normal common decent behaviour. So rightly or wrongly he was voted out. That has to be honoured and accepted .
there are many decisions taken by my leaders i do not agree with, but being a democratic community i go along with. Not because i am chicken liveried , or wont stand up and be counted , because if i go on the rampage, simply because i dont agreed with a decision, THAT WOULD MAKE ME AN ANIMAL.

Jackie: Your're an animal regardless of politics. Remember when you lost a race because someone "forgot" to count a lap, seems to me a I recall a rampage. Sleep well.

wasnt one lap Johnno —— it was three ! Happy New Year My Friend
No, i never ever went on the rampage about that Johnno. Kept it to myself for forty years before i had a bitch. Lost a friend ,,,,a mercury ride ,,,, i still didnt moan about it until windermere when Downard crawled across the finish line in the sick Rotary . Everyone else had fallen by the wayside . Most of the factory runners were gone. Was lumpy as a toads back , but blowing a hooley. I had a very short hot single at the time. But as always caution overtook valour and i drove conservatively , much to GG‘s chargrin . Was of course due to „“mitigating circumstances „“ !!

Was looking through the news media FOX, and then CNN, were they both covering the same happenings at the White House ———— Jesus wept , and to think i thought WE were divided . Bookmakers stopped taking bets on IF there's going to be a civil war“ in america. {cant call it USA any more}——. New book is WHEN?
You Couldnt write a book on this , not even George Orwell, ——way too far out——-could never happen !!!!!!!! Or could it. ????
Looks like the whole world is in deep KA-KA, not just England and the USA. I look back to the Lake X old farts meeting, was it really, only two years ago. ?
RATBAGS {. Gary Stray, Gieco boss man } birthday today. He is also married to my eldest grand daughter Louise . Its the Big 50 today. Well over half way to the finishing line . Send him a birthday wish——- remind him , he will soon be one of us.
Remember the old song —-SUN COMES UP—SUN GOES DOWN —- THIS LITTLE OLD WORLD KEEPS ON GOING AROUND.
It was called „“LIFE GETS TEDIOUS, DON’T IT“
Right now, I’d settle for TEDIOUS. !!!!!!!!!!!
