European vs. American Automotive Histories
Something else that bears mentioning: The size of the countries in Europe; England is a tiny country, relatively speaking. No real need for a roomy, comfortable car if all you ever do with it is ride across town. Europeans have generally used trains, etc for long range trips. Which would you...- plain old dave

Barbeque
http://www.buddysbarbq.com/ Best BBQ on the planet I have yet found, and I have looked as far afield as the United Arab Emirates. Fast food BBQ, so fast your food is waiting most of the time by the time you get done paying at the counter.- plain old dave

Bathtub Nashes....
This has potential as a thread.... The Hudson DOES have some of the bathtub vibe, but for me the full-skirt front fenders on the Nash set it off... Let's see some more pictures, folks!- plain old dave

Tips for restoring a radio
Thoughts.... The biggest issue is the capacitors. ALL of them. You see, vintage iron (i.e. electric, or vacuum tube, radios) uses electrolytic capacitors. Electrolytic caps have a paste in them that dries up over time; the easy way to tell if you have bad caps is if the rig hums after it...- plain old dave

The Neckerchief needs to be rolled in a specific manner and tied in a square knot, as well. Suggestions: 1) Post...- plain old dave

How do you like your hats to fit?
I like a firm fit, for lack of a better adjective.... Some amount of band mark on my forehead. That's probably due to when I was on active duty in the USN. The wind howls down the pier, especially when you are going between 2 CVNs. If your hat fits properly, you'll never need a wind trolley.- plain old dave
