  1. You never know when a random musical performance is just going to pop up. I was in Summerside PEI about 30 years ago just talking in the sights at the waterfront when a bunch of people showed up with instruments and started playing. It was not a scheduled event or anything but they were pretty good.
  2. The Gremlin V8 was a 304 cid. Not exactly a torque monster but it was peppy. The Mustang II was available with a 302. My brother in law had one. My Gremlin was a 1972. Earlier versions of the 304 had over 200 hp and 300 lb ft of torque but by 72 the emissions hardware dropped those numbers substantially.
  3. I think the casting works. Annie Murphy makes a perfect airhead daughter. I don’t think Sarah Levy would have fit that part.
  4. My gremlin was a really fun car even if it was a piece of junk. Put a good run on a 318 Dodge in a quarter mile if the shifter didn't jam.
  5. I owned both a Gremlin and a Pacer, and somehow I am still alive.
  6. I haven't heard of it either.
  7. Here's a video of my exhibit at the 2016 show. different times for sure.
  8. I would definitely hit up the Philly show if I was closer. Bill Mould is going to be there and I could talk wheels with him all day.
  9. Nope. But I did enter a draw to win a $9,000 bike. Might be disqualified though because the shop that was doing the draw is one that I build and repair wheels for. Not really an employee but still connected.
  10. The annual bicycle show ain’t what it used to be that’s for sure. Mostly taken over by e-bikes displayed by people who have no clue about the technology and are totally incapable of answering any questions beyond how much is it and where can I buy it. Used to be a showcase for components and services. I even had a booth at the show 8 years ago but I wouldn’t waste my time and money now. They have gone after a totally different audience. Don’t think I will be going back.

    Actually I think they should lump synchromesh transmissions with automatic and make a separate class for non synchro. In my training days we got lots of European immigrants with years of driving experience in Europe but no clue how to drive a crash box.
  12. Been doing a lot of walking but not posting it. Yesterday I did 4.1 km.
  13. Then they will be someone else’s problem. Probably in the next county.
  14. So sorry for your loss. I have no words.
  15. Reason number 2841 that it is time for a change at the top.
