| Greetings from Australia. Impressive. I haven't seen the expression "dinks" for a while. A one stage int the 80's we liked to think of ourselves as "Finks" which stood for "Five infants and no kash". Have a good time with the Forum. |

Hi Eddy and thanks for popping in here to the introductions. I know you're not that new but still nice to say hi to those who don't know you yet.
And yes, the mac thing is a bonus. There's quite a number of us here. |

Hell, Fast Eddy
Welcome.
Can there be any hope for analogue now??
Enjoy your time here.

I am of a mind that our universe is entirely analogue ... possibly from an exotic fractal like generator, but with the edges smoothed out by its analogue nature.
Ya can't reproduce Buddy Holly with a digital CD player of less than 24 bit resolution = too much content ...

| I only know guys owning NOS blown GTOs with 1/4 mile rear suspension here who try to do 2.96mph. :clown: |

... actually, yes, some of the time. From Springfield Mo. to Tulsa Ok., which drops about 500 feet over 200+ miles.
A 1967 Pontiac GTO w/389 cu. in. engine, tri-power w/front & rear carb removed & manifold blocked, big narrow tires all around pumped to 65 psi, tuned up by Pontiac factory ... we opened the doors in the mountains as speed brakes, keeping the brakes cool = no drag ... 29.6 mpg was 4 mpg better than the second place Mustang (w/ 100 cuin smaller engine) ... a great hardware hack that got us pictures in regional papers & Motor Sport News, etc. === we was proud puppies :D |
