Quoting: Cunning Plan

first the Nissan Cube,  
Which I thought was quite cool and different looking..

How does it look any different from a Scion Xb?????

They both look like toasters!!

Quoting: philoldsmobile

i believe this is the us spec 'nighthawk' version

I think the NightHawks were 750cc & 1100cc Phil.

The 400cc was just a basic bike.

Quoting: Roadkill

I thought you said "useful".

I thought it was gonna end up a motorised roll cab . . .

I was thinking more along the line of a BOAT ANCHOR!!!!!!!

Quoting: 55starchief

If its well and trully seized try some penatrating oil like plus gas 1st

Or PB Blaster!

Yeah, right. I'm sure you got the meaning just fine.

[YES]

Quoting: Roadkill

Question:

Am I right in thinking that this is a problem with the lock barrels and not any of the mechanism behind the lock ? YES

Favour for Carl:

If I'm right in blaming the locks can I order the below when I get paid ? OF COURSE
They look like a bargain and should solve all my problems . . . And allow me to lock the car !

Although, i'd hose em down with WD40 first. They're probably just gummed up and stuck from non-use.

I've not found a lock cylinder WD40 won't fix!!

Not yet anyway...

BTW.....Those locks will take care of the ignition and doors but what about the glove box and boot??????

Welcome from across the pond mate!!

The walk is a week away and Carole has been working her arse off raising funds and walking 10-15 miles a day to get ready.

She met the $1800 minium goal to walk with your help and has renewed her goal to $4000.

She is at 53% of that goal with $2125 in donations at present.

If anyone else wants to donate, now is the time!! And a HUGE thanks to everyone that has donated so far.

Well done mate!!

Quoting: Roadkill

Are those dimensions taken from the centre of the bar ?

Not sure what you mean........

Couldn't get a sketch, but here are the dimentions Rich gave me....

Eye to eye 47.125"

Long part of bar between bends 36"

Sides 8.5"



Go ahead and laugh, but it took me the better part of 30 minutes to do that pitiful sketch in Paint!!

Quoting: F Body

put an oil pressure gauge into the line

That'd be my first action! Make sure you have pressure!

Although, if you drove it for more than a couple of miles with the light on, i'd say you have a bad sending unit.

If it didn't have pressure it would have seized for sure!

I've called Rich and asked for dimentions of the new bar......we'll see.

Been playing phone tag with Rich for a week and a half but finally got hold of him moments ago. Here are the options....

1) Buy another bar and pay shipping to the UK. $179 + shipping.

2) Send the one you have back to me, I send it to Rich, he sends me the replacement bar, I ship it to you. Cost is shipping all around.

The bar they're recommending is for 1959-1960 Cadillac as the dimentions are bigger than the bar you have.

Rich said the manufacturer is holding their ground saying the bar is correct for your application, but he also said the tech rep he spoke to last told him they have had to substitute the 59-60 one in the past for other customers, therefore they know it doesn't fit every car but yet they didn't bother to tell their retailers.

How the hell did they coordinate that!!!???

Nice tow truck!

Just because the goal has been met, PLEASE don't let that stop you from donating if you were going to. And if you don't donate to this particular fund, donate to one in the UK as it is a VERY WORTHY CAUSE!!!!!!

[GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
$1829.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What!? No recap this month Martyn!?!?

OH!! Please forgive me your Lordship!! It'll never happen again!

Thank you Sir Roadkill!!

Now at 89% of goal with $195.01 left to go!!!!!!!

Only $260.01 to go.......Anyone!!!!
