Hippy will be sorry that is a beauty ++

Sandy, I bought hippys car back in August. You dont remember? We had a long thread on it. It is safely tucked away in my garage in Texas.

I've been wondering how long it takes for a well known car to no longer be referred to by the name of a previous owner.

Haven't you heard about the raffle? Seems that you won a black McLaren....

Should work once, right?

[Sandy]

Ya, right!! NO

[ChuckG]

Ya, right!! NO

My buddy's wife thinks he's the luckiest guy. Every time we go to the gun shop, he wins the door prize....

G/L. it took me 6(+) years to find and finally buy one. I ended up with an awesome car, so the wait was definitely worth it.

Thanks to plumkrazy for this pic. I still need to buy a new camera and take some nice pics of my own.

Thanks to Hippy for taking such good care of this car until I finally bought it.

Hippy told me he didn't do anything to the engine bay and didn't have his hood open when I saw the car. How does it look? Ford was sooooo cheap on using properly protected metals under the hood (really, anyplace you couldn't see) in the 80s!

I was thinking of using that line on the Snap-On truck for a new tool box

Sometimes, it's better to apologize than ask permission!

[Sandy]

GOSPEL

Asking permission is usually met with NO ! whereas doing it and then apologizing can sometimes make you the winner. Sure, they be mad for a while, and then accept it.

This refers to buying something you want...NOT cheating on your spouce, which I do not do, nor suggest.

It is okay to do when a 1 of 2 . 25th Anniversary Mclarern is at the cruxt of it all......

My grandfather always told me get what you want BEFORE you get married. Then, you have a 50/50 of keeping it, at least for a while. Anything after the wedding is subject to veto.

With cars, I always try to date girls who enjoy them as much as I do.

Never did find one that liked my Cobra in the years I owned it. Too raw, it seems.

Funny, but when girls see the photos now, they ALL say they wished I still had it! ARRRGGG!!

Rust free. Drove it one season then has been in indoor storage for 7 or 8 years. Need to look when I actually purchased it from Hank at Paradise. Have a ton of extra parts, NOS and used that go with the car.
I'll post an ad once I get it out of storage and take some pics.

I guess I'm lucky. My wife says, "If you want it, and we can afford it, go for it!" I try not to abuse the deal!!
