That thing is too cool for words! I'll dig a little car out of my shed that my neighbor had in his back yard. I was admiring it, and he said to just take it. If my sons ever provide my wife and I with grandchildren, <.< >.> they'll have a cool ride.

Golf cart electric motor, housing and armature with windings. This thing looks like it went deep sea riding for awhile!

The future of automobiles is coming guy's!:lol::lol::chevy:

It's just an overgrown starter motor!

Someday we'll all be driving cross country on the interstate at 15 mph :lol:

My son hands this to me and says put this on the table, look at it with one eye closed. Floating legos...

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

here's a grave marker i found in a little cemetery,in Lockhartville,Nova Scotia,for Ben Jackson,a man born in the area,went and fought in the civil war as a substitute for another man,Lewis Saunders.when i looked into who Ben Jackson was,it said,individuals who were drafted,could pay someone to take their place,evidently that's what Ben Jackson did and served on the U.S.S Richmond as Captain of the #10 gun crew.during the battle of Mobile Bay in 1864,Jackson retrieved a grenade tossed on deck,threw it overboard before it exploded.the story goes on to say,the bay was littered with torpedoes(mines) and Jackson was successful in disarming several but one exploded,injuring him.he recovered in hospital,was awarded the Civil War Campaign Medal,a pension and was discharged june 2 1865.he returned to Nova Scotia,went back to farming and eventually returned to sea on commercial vessels.died August 20,1915 and laid to rest in an unmarked grave.in 2010,at a ceremony attended by 400 people including folks dressed like Civil War soldiers,a grave marker was erected in his memory.

Okay, I didn't take this, but it IS my Kodiak :devil:

Fort Morgan AL yesterday. Spring is coming.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

This is how I know spring is coming. They are the first thing to come up every year, right at the base of the steps to my front porch.

Belt buckle my mom gave me when I was 15-ish

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

You still have it? That's really cool. There are surprisingly few things I still have from that far back. The Craftsman tool box from the thread about them a few weeks ago comes to mind. My machinist tools/box from High School is from the same time period, but that's about it?
Oh, I do still have a commemorative Apollo 11 drinking glass that was a give-away from a gas station, before I could drive. Somehow that survived all of the moves? I'll probably remember something so common that I'm not thinking of it right now.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Yeah its weird I have something from back then, considering Im 61 now.

I saved a lot of my sons things from when they were young, one will be 40 this year and the other will be 39. They have just shy of zero interest in most of the stuff lol.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I planted some creeping myrtle a few years ago because of those purple blooms. The stuff never took off like I hoped but it does look good right now.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I got a new cart to play with. Member here wants me to wire it up for him.
Can't wait to get it home sitting beside mine and see how they look together.:chevy:

I snapped a shot of this. My beautiful daughter sent me this cigarette lighter. I guess she knows her old mans taste... Morbid. :lol:

My fingers look fat in that pic. And they aren't. I'm really skinny.Which is odd because my family is a bit on the chubby side. But I've always been skinny as a rail. I can't gain weight.

Cobra replica that we built. Picture taken on the Northumberland Strait, Arisag, Nova Scotia

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Niiice! I wanted to build one of them with the money I saved from per diem when on travel for company business. New floors in the house won out.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I feel you, I’ve worn the same size jeans (30x30) since I was a freshman in high school (working on 33 now) 5-9 @ 150-160 lbs for about that last 10 years. Don’t matter what or how much I eat... presently I’m watching tv in bed eating straight from a 1/2 gallon or Breyers mint chocolate chip.:lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

well now,i want to be just like you when i grow up??i was at the doc the other day,he says he has a new hi-tech scale that talks to you when you step on it.i step on and right a voice comes out of the scale and says "one at a time please" .the doc said it wouldn't hurt you,you know to miss a meal every now and then.i said you're probably right but there's no sense risking it? enjoy the ice cream,i'll bet it's yummy.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

good looking car.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

How many boxes of these do you have to eat before they actually make you thin? :confused: ... 'Cause I bought about two cases so far... from four different Girlscouts. :ito:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Yum yum. Thin Mints. I love those and Samoa's the best. Heck I like them all.
I've bought cases of them myself. Never put on a pound. Maybe a couple of pounds but I needed to. When my weight dipped into the 120's my doctor told me to gain weight. I looked like I was in a concentration camp. It must be my metabolism. My body burns off weight faster than I can eat.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Thanks. It is a Factory Five. Took a long time to build as I was travelling a lot for work during the build time.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Very cool! Cobra's are like Harley's....Anyone who say's they don't want one is a liar :lol::lol::lol:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Love it. LOL

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I bought the Factory Five assembly manual when I retired in 1998 and still have it, it was $50 at that time.. This came into the mix and won out.....

I'm not sure if the assembly manual is even usable now.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

I was looking at the Factory Five car kits. One thing that helped tip the scales to new floors was that California will only allow 500 kits a year to be registered new. I think I got that right. So, if you didn't get yours registered the first day that the DMV is open in a new year, you have to wait. I was working in Florida at the time, maybe I could have registered it there and then brought it into the state, but that may have not worked either.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

That surprises me. The more cars that are registered the more registration dollars the state makes.

And we all know how much California likes to take more money.


That's a beautiful Skyliner Leon. Maybe you can answer a question for me. It might be an old wives tale but I've heard that if the roof on a Skyliner gets stuck when it's down position that you cant get to the mechanism to get it to go back up because it's stuck under the roof.

It's like that on my Porsche. If the battery goes dead. The battery is under the front hood or trunk or whatever you want to call it. It's controlled by an electronic switch to open it. No battery=no switch. And no backup. (ask me how I know) I had to hook a battery charger to the fuse box to pop the trunk to get to the battery. It's a terrible design. :smoke:

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

One would think that the state would want the revenue. But maybe some of them are using pre-SMOG engines. I know that I planned to put in a 260 or 289 from an early vintage Ford solely for the purpose of only being required to have a closed crankcase (well, that, and not having a biennial inspection).

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

This may be in the stable . Looked at it today made a good offer on it

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
 

Nice! What year is that? We have a 1988 "Limited" but it doesn't have the fake wood siding. I'm assuming that one also has the 242 transfer case with the "full time" option. It works great. Even with three open differentials it goes through just about anything and everything. The Jeep suspension keeps the weight equally on all four wheels on anything resembling a road.

You just have to get used to funny noises and leaks ;)
