dougdrake Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Cyclone - Nice ride! "Here is one you don't see every day." Actually, I DO see one almost every day. It's parked at the CompUSA near my house, presumably owned by an employee there. There's also a H2 with a "for sale" sign parked there - they pay those people way too much money!

Also, that many were used in the backwoods to catch the moonshine (not m00nshine!)runners. That's what one of mine was doing before I got it. It still had the holes in the dash for the lights & radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Poindexter, That is one of my favorite clips. When we were done doing it, I thought it sounded like Dr. Who meets David Lindley. Wish I had real drums on it, but they don't fit in my 8x8 space. Marvel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easylistener Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Nice a 1100, that thing has to hum. I used to have a 750. I would take it out on Lake Michigan when they was big waves. Man that was fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonecj Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 It does.... I have had it up to 61mph. It also handles better that any other jet I have driven. The first year it was in the shop after every 10 hours of ride time. Many problems. Seems they finally got them all fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easylistener Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 What was going on with it? I used to upgrade jet skis. They were pretty relieble. The cheapest and best upgrade in inpellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny dB Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Not to sound like I'm bragging but you asked for it, so... Here's a pic of my toy I drive daily. '93 Silverado 2WD, 350TBI, CD, DVD, TV, 10" sub. I'm selling this one. I'm getting an '86 Astro Van 350TPI this weekend. I used to own the van 7 years ago. It's funny how things have a tendency to come back to me. I wish the '69 RoadRunner I sold 2 years ago would come back, though. 440, airgrabber hood, she was nice and I miss her dearly. I also have a '65 Riviera getting redone. Hopefully, I'll have that back by late summer. 4 year project I hope it gets done soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Yea, this was in another thread but it fits in here just the same. 2003 Acura TL Type-S, 260hp FWD with 5-speed Sequential Sport-Shift. Done up in White Diamond Pearl. The two-stage intake manifold kinda gives it a supercharger effect when the throttle gets mashed. I also once had a 75' Mercury Montego MX. Really it was a "mutt" car having the front of a Cougar and the back of a Torino. Nothin' too special about it, except for for it being the first year for all the emissions garbage (which I quickly took off back then because it was legal to do so). It was only a 351w 2V but sounded much bigger. Tony Boone- What are you doing storing the floor mats on the hood?? Just teasin' If I had the pics with me I'd put up some of the competition handguns I've built. IPSC used to be a lot of fun till people started bring $5,000+ 1911's to the unlimited class.

Johnny dB Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Here's pic of my Haro. There's a few decent mountain bike trails in this area. Nothing like almost killing yourself on a bike to know you're really alive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny dB Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 Tom nice Acura. White Diamond Pearl, too. That's the color of my Rivy... well parts of it right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny dB Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 yep, you did. Just part of the front. Thanks for the complement. I just posted pics of the Entertainment center project in the odds and mods. I finally got a chance to finish trimming it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at all of them Snowmobiles, outboards, jetskis, motocycles. What I don't understand is why they don't work on fuel maping in house? Why do they leave it up to the customer. I can't even tell you guys how many of these toys I have taken apart because of this problem. Most of the time it is due to the companies cutting corners. I am glad to hear it is running good for you now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt1stcav Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Years ago I was a freelance photographer and did some wedding photography, and I always loved using classic manual 35mm camera equipment. Here's a small portion of some of the gear I had ('70's vintage Olympus and Nikon bodies and lenses, and an old Petri rangefinder from the '60's).

jt1stcav Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Before I was laid off and went bankrupt, I also started collecting antiques. But I always had a fondness for antique vacuum tube radios, and this little mantle radio is one of my favorites...a '33 Emerson-Ingraham Model 25A 4-tube AM radio that's completely original, minus the new caps and a cloth power cord to replicate its worn out cord. The walnut finish, bakelite knobs, all the tubes, even the grille cloth...all original! Not bad for a 70 year old radio that still pulls in local stations.
