    I can't believe people are into coveralls

    Don't forget, during most of history, men either wore dresses or skirts!

    1972 Triumph Bonneville Barn Find

    Nice 72 Bonneville! Sadly, they are much maligned by the purist, but I like them! One thing, ignore all the arm chair experts on the 2LC front Conical brake! If there is a lot of shoe material left, don't replace them, just have a shop familiar with old brakes deglaze the lining. Then get a...

    Terms Which Have Disappeared

    Now that you mention it, if the original term was used to refer to the preserved white wood parts on early cars, and later custom high end car parts, would it not go back to say the horse drawn hand made coaches? Seems logical.

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    While watching, More Manners Of Downtown Abbey. It suddenly dawned on me, all the fashions, we hold so dear to our hearts, from the 20s and 30s, were once considered utterly scandalous!

    More Manners Of Downtown Abbey. Funny, all the fashions, we hold so dear to our hearts, from the 20s and 30s, were once considered utterly scandalous!

    I can't believe people are into coveralls

    This pair of overalls, makes me want a 1930s race car. Maybe, I could settle for a Model A Speedster!

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    Part of the problem was those mechanics from the past, that tried to fix the problem and only made it worse. The young guy with the camera, figured out to just add a catch bottle. Sometimes, high tech can lead to low tech salutations!

    Pretty weird & unsettling...

    Yes, but can we teach the robot to give the same high end service, by spitting in our food?

    DC-3 / C-47

    While the FAA did not exist at the time, the CAA most certainly did. The DC3 received Type Certificate ATC607, which was transferred to the FAA when it was established. The FAA is well aware of all the DC3 variants with over 10 Airworthy Directives that must be complied with, along with an...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Lt. Robinson Crusoe USN. Surprisingly, they got the scenes with Dick in the A7 Corsair II right. They even had him speaking with the oxygen mask on.

    The Legendary DURABLE (Wild One) Jacket

    Looks like I have to eat my words about hatting black motorcycle jackets! A friend, sent this video, with a great version of Richard Thompson's song, 1952 Vincent Black Lightning. What does this have to do with this thread? In it he says, "red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme!"...

    Your Most Disturbing Realizations

    Not exactly disturbing, more utter amassment. On a show I was watching, they were having trouble with an oil leak on an old F1 Talbot Lago race car. Finally, they put a GoPro camera in the engine compartment to find it, sure enough, it was so obvious when recorded. Less then 20 years ago, it...
