Default Should Craig (750HP) be on the Dark side?

I was pondering what running gear people are using in their cars and I reckon Craig should be a member of The Dark Side

He doesn't talk about it much but he's running a CHEV Powerglide transmission!!

The Dark Side and The Light Side are like Yin and Yang. Inside the white part there's a little bit of black and inside the black there's a little bit of white.

I'm running some Ford rear suspension bits. Craig has a Chev transmission.

Yin and Yang:- The eternal struggle.

Red face Knew it

I knew it

The only way to get a Tinkered with FORD to move along would be with alot of Chevy help

But mike, you've met the bloke, you really think he worthy of a Dark Side membership

I suppose as long a he keeps that Jet Ski bonnet closed

Grow the force

The dark side clearly has it's advantages;

- Heavy breathing on phone calls is an genetic skill
- Parentage is often unknown or unclear
- Black is always in fashion


and it's disadvantages;

- You never get the princess
- Everyone takes pot shots at you
- The story always ends badly for the black hats

I however am sticking to the light.... It's blue oval boxers for me in October... Let's hope I'm not forced to drop them in shame

Cameron, clearly you haven't been paying attention !

Darthy may not have got the Princess but who would want a chick with that HAIRSTYLE.

But who wants a princess when you can have a queen plus she was hot to boot!! (Better stop here b4 I make a mess)

Keep the story straight there fellas.

Old Darthy didn't want the princess that way (considering she was his daughter).

It was Young Darthy getting the Queen that caused afore mentioned princess to come into being. Therefore proving the the black hats get their cake and eat it too.

Natalie Portman was lookin' pretty dern fine I agree but don't forget Carrie Fishers outfit in Return of the Jedi.

Mike - you have no argument from me as far as using parts from the dark side. Whatever parts were best suited for my car were used. It goes something like this.........

Maximum power potential - Ford engine
Strongest transmission - Chev powerglide
Strongest differential - Ford 35 spline 9"
Slow the car down - Lexus brake pedal

Scotty, I'm fishing for bites over here. You installed that pedal, you must have known that it'd come back to haunt you......


Now, should I mention those billet small block Chev conrods inside my motor?

Exclamation strange bits

Did you forget the audi park brake caliper i put on it too.

I am sure i could think of a few more jap bits that went into your cobra.

Craig is not on the dark side he is on the FAR SIDE.

HE has enough HP for 3 cobras.
