I was gonna say that sometimes I wonder if it's related to a router problem rather than a site problem, but that's just speculation. It has stopped happening, for me, so far this week.

gotta disagree - no pics posted early this am, as usual ................ sigh

I thinks its a conspiracy......

 

[awsum140]

Maybe Mike's right, Steamer. Maybe wrap your laptop in tin foil first.

Most heavy trucks. Come with. Automatics. Now to! We have. School bus drivers. Who want to pass them selves off as. Truckers. Now

well I guess Im thinking of all the new 8 and 9 speed autos for fuel efficiency and power band improvement ...not to mention paddle shifting included on many now...just seems the way of the future ...I used to flop manual to automatic every other but Ive given up as most everything is automatic and just as reliable for he most part over the last couple decades anyway...and I really dont miss a stick in traffic jams

Automatic. All the way for me to
I get enough shifting in the KW

The autos in the big trucks is a big improvement. They accelerate. Of the line like a pickup truck

I miss the granny gear in my tundra. Some lady pulled in front of me at an intersection last December without yielding a left hand turn... totaled my baby. Now I have a 4X4 tundra 5 years older. Haven't tried the granny gear yet but the overdrive doesn't work as good as it did in the newer one (2005).

Drove stick for 20 years before that. I remember people getting impatient with me for gearing down for stops.

25 years motocross, you learn how to shift.

I used to drive nothing but sticks. Shifted without even using the clutch quite a bit of the time, just a question of RPM versus road speed. I can still drive a stick, no problem, but after fighting traffic jams on the Garden State Parkway, in the summer time, in a Camaro with a stick I'm happy with automatics now.

This was the precursor to the 60. Only about 6 were made. Then they figured out how to get another 10w out of it and the 60 was born.

Who ? Me ?





Well, maybe a little !

So only 6! you should hang on to it, mite be a collectors item in the future.
Seems now a days any thing rare or one off is worth a fortune, eventually
E-Scribe?
