One of the few genuine 'Laugh Out Louds' on this site.


Rodknock - Just how old is your KMP and how many miles do you have? Why do you have such a rep?

The wheels do corrode. Isn't that the look you guys are after anyways? If you want shiny wheels, you are much better off with aluminum with polished lips.

Oh what do they know anyway. You think Chas and Patrick have seen my odometer? I could have 20,000 miles on my car since it became operational in the 4th Quarter of 2008.

I drive it everyday to work, I rebuild my own engines and transmissions and I did and do all the work myself. I also drag race my Kirkham every Wednesday night at Infineon Raceway.

...only if the clowns from Overhaulin' kidnapped it while you were at the Oyster Bar...

I think you have paper cut-outs of hands and feet to remind you where they go to operate it...

Well, the kidnappers would have to figure out where the fuel pressure and battery cutoff switches are first.

It took me a couple months to figure out that the fuel pressue switch is right underneath the fuel pressure gauge and that the battery switch is actually BEHIND me.

You know.....I always abide by the first rule of Italian driving:

Well, we're screaming towards the end of February already. I have tried to make contact with Richard (Halibrand) twice this week...and failed.

Fran said he was taking 'discount' pricing of $4,000 per set if ordered by the end of this month.

Fran, are you out there? There's been talk of a person or two from our list going with Fran and it looks like I will too. I'll contact Fran and post the latest.

Our trek may have taken a left turn but we may get there.

You really need to call him if you want wheels. After all of the endless discussion of these wheels very few people have called him.

Just catching up with the latest in the wheel saga. Classic stuff ERA Chas!

Seeing RodKnocks KMP in the Bay Area is akin to an Elvis sighting.

I would venture to guess that RodKnock hasn't driven his car any more than I've driven my car since I popped her in to her sleeping bag in November. This winter seems like it's gone on forever, but I do see signs that spring is not that far away. What we really need now is some heavy steady rains to wash away all the white salt that's covering everything.
