Funny carl I laughed hard, my ma hyad one, she loved it, had 214,000 miles on it ran great! shes 77,doesnt want to drive anymore. david.

man your actualy riding on the motor, who needs a gas pedal all you
need to do is reach out and pull the throttle with your hand and
steer with your foot, kinda like a rat fink poster :lol:

Carl, I lmao at that story!!! Come on out to Minnesota,`an we'll sit down with a couple of moucha latte's and talk of races won,..and races lost. :lol:
by the way,.... was that pic taken at this year's Car Craft Nat's in St. Paul? :wink:

ash,

I would love to come out and shoot the breeze with you...I am sure we have a lot of good stories to tell.
That metro is not mine but yes that is where the pic is from.

Were you there?

I am heading to Dallas in October to go to the good guys show at texas motor speedway.

If you look at the pic, straight up from the rear-view mirror, that small green building was where I was parked in front of! Small world.
In fact, looking at the pic,it looks about the time me an' a buddy were tring to talk our way outta a race with a guy in a soupped -up Hyundai :roll:
Have a good time in Oct! :D

Awesome story, I had one of those 993cc monsters myself. That car was tough as nails and I averaged 47 mpg with my lead food (back then). In 1997 a couple of buddies and I (and a cooler of adult berverages) took a 430 mile road trip averaged 57 mpg!!! and total cost of gas was $8.02. Now those were the good ol' days. LOL
I too had my car at or over the 100mph barrier only too a 70 mile straight away and 1 VERY long down hill.
