My Sundial Bridge Trip.

Ron

[hey,littlecobra]

hey, Ron. I thought you said that bridge was limited to foot/bike traffic. No cars! How did you do that??

Just 'sneak' on??

Got 11 for dinner tonight. Of course 6 are mine, so not that many extra.

Are we on to books, now??? Nobody touching sex with a 10 foot pole???

Books. hmmm. I used to read all the Clancy/Ludlum types. Now I don't time for that much detail.... a fun chick book is nice. happy endings, romance (sex) , some drama, no brainer.

I don't 'stoop' to Harlequins tho'. totally brainless. I like the story telling of Nora Roberts, Barbara Delinsky, etc.
I have started most of the Cobra books I have. Haven't finished them all tho'. Also like biography's, or autobio's. Computer time has 'stolen' what used to be my reading time! I would read from 9-11 or 12 every night, now I play on the computer..... (as ya'll know)

gotta go! have a great evening, and seeya tomorrow. I believe we are all playing hookie from church tomorrow. Need to pay some bills, etc. Pack Peter for football camp, etc.

XOXOXO

Your game, must be the group over for dinner and a slow next day

How to pass an immigration test in the United States...

Mujibar was trying to get into the USA legally through Immigration.

The Officer said, "Mujibar, you have passed all the tests, except
there is one more test. Unless you pass it you cannot enter the United States of America.

Mujibar said, "I am ready."

The officer said, "Make a sentence using the words Yellow, Pink and Green."

Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said, "Mister Officer, I am
ready."

The Officer said, "Go ahead."

Mujibar said, "The telephone goes green, green, green, and I pink it up, and say, 'Yellow, this is Mujibar.'"

....Mujibar now lives in a neighborhood near you and works for
Verizon in their Customer Service Department.

You know, if you blow up that photo, I think you can make out Ron.

Well, As I suspected, I destroyed the clutch in my cobra. Erich and I pulled the trans and clutch assembly today and well, there were pieces all over the place.

Perhaps some of you may recall my 7500 RPM dump in London, and peices went flying.

That guy lying on the ground with the silver cobra over him, that was right after...red shirt and blue shorts.

We'll fix it and be back on the road soon.

[hey,littlecobra]

I miss you. I miss Bernie. I had a carefree weekend; my car didn't blow up or nuttin'!!!

Family over last night for steaks, etc. (11)
Friends over for spaghetti and stuff tonight. (9) (Peter left for football camp this afternoon- he was very excited and not nervous at all! )
Guess I better go clean up..... ugh.

Glad to see you on, on a Sunday night Tru. It's been quiet around the forum all day, today. Guess that's what Sunday's do..... Took a family member out for a little spin last night. He loved the cobra! He said he had a couple of old cars, GTO, etc., but never been around the cobra. (in the 60's).

oh well. Maybe I'll be able to wrench the computer away from #2 son later. have a nice evening.

looking to do custom stripes. have red backdraft with 351 windsor thinking about black with flames inside stripes. any suggestions or any images of custom stuff. i am open now willing to spend up to 3k

[trularin]

Yeah...

That's the picture.

Worked on cars all weekend, now I will most likely spend all week putting the cobra back together.

Got new rear brakes on, I am trying to decide what to do with the clutch.

We'll get together again, we have to.

[Ron61]

Chuck,

There must be some custom paint places down there or near by. We have some extremely custom painted cars around here and they look at other cars that have similiar to what they think they want and then go to one of the paint shops and the paint shop will paint a panel for them to look at. The panels aren't very big, normally about 3' by 3' but in your case with stripes they would most likely make them a little longer so you could get an idea of how it looks by laying it on the hood. One drawbackI alweays thought to the custom paint is that if you drive it you will get rock chips in it and it is very hard to repair unless you have it repainted. Best of luck on finding just what you wantand the color sounds great.

[Ron61]

Tru,

Hope that you get the Cobra back together and on the road soon. At least that is one worry I will never have as mine won't even rev to 7500.

And yes, that was me driving the car. I have the larger copy here but just down sized it to put in the post.

Ron

[hey,littlecobra]

Ron. I thought that bridge was for foot traffic, and bicycles. How did you sneak up on that??

Chuck. You are in 'the lounge'. You might find a good source of information if you post in the 'so cal' forum.

Kristen

[Ron61]

Kristen,

The bridge is for foot traffic and bicycles only. Only place you can drive a car on the other side is down under it. I just thought that it would make a good background for a picture. Kind of like when they let me take the 69 Cobra on the grass at the Conventon Center and take pictures of it next to the big fountain.

Ron

[trularin]

So, that is a 'doctored' photo???

[Ron61]

Tru,

Yes, I cut the Cobra and me out of another picture and then put it on the bridge to see how it would look there. So far I must have had 50 people around here ask me how I got them to let me take it out there for the picture. Maybe I should print an 8 X 10 of it and go stick it on the sign at the entrance to the bridge that says, foot traffic and bicycles only. No vehicles of any kind. But the one of the 69 at the fountain wasn't changed. They did let me drive it up on the grass and take pictures so long as I promised to not spin the tires on the grass. Actually now I am having to tell all of these people what I did as I don't want to get in trouble because several of them have decided they are going to ask for permission to take their cars out on the bridge and take pictures of them.

Ron

[trularin]

I knew you were a rable-rouser.

[Ron61]

Do you think I would make a good Terrorist?

Mark Berent has some Nam era Clancy type books. Don't read them if you liked LBJ and J. McNamara though. Steven Coonts has a good series too.

[4RE KLR]

Yea Ron
I played with the picture and when I tried to blow it up the image of the car and the image of the bridge seperated. meaning one stayed in focaus and the other distorted. That was a dead giveaway. Very good though. Had the focal point in the picture been a little closer it would have been hard to detect.

Chuck
Look at My gallery. I had flames on my car and it was beautiful. They were ghost flames that were really "ghost" they were hard to see in some lights. You can see the layout in my pictures. Also if you will get a copy of Kit Car magazine for November 2001 They did a ten page story on my paint job. It is a very informative article. Good luck.

Kristen,
You made a comment the other day about my a/c post being boring. If you would have read then from the beginning you would have realized that I was initially makeing a post to try to help "you" out. It turned out that a lot of us learned something from the conversation.

As for the "other" topic. I will just keep my comments to myself. I respect you a great deal and won't say anything out of charactor about that type of topic. Although I sure had some thoughts

[Ron61]

Steve,

I had to put the car at that spot because of the big cables that run down to the bridge floor. With the full size picture, it is harder to tell by blowing it up, but it just didn't look right to have a 2" cable going through the center of the car.

I think Kristen must be sulking or looking for another tag line to put on her posts. She hasn't posted much in the past few days. But she is really busy too, not like an old man like me that has time to play around. I also haven't seen or heard much from Lil Mike in some time. But school will be starting again soon and he will be back I bet.
