DutchGT500 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks for the invite Patrick.........Marji and I will be sure to hook up for dinner on our next visit to the Netherlands. I've been wanting to ask.......is that Lucille in your signature? It's not my wife Astrid. She will not wash my car. She does her own Terlingua. I think it is one of the Playboy bunnies.

CSX4350 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 OK, your picture is from the movie "Cool Hand Luke", a classic movie from 1967. It is a truly great movie starring Paul Newman, who plays Luke, a Korean war veteran who gets drunk and cuts the top off of the parking meters in town. He goes to prison for it. In prison, which is a unit that does work on roads, he meets George Kennedy who plays Dragline, the guy who is pretty much the head prisoner. One day, while they are working on a road, a young girl comes outside her house and starts washing the car right next to where the prisoners are working. It absolutely drives the prisoners CRAZY, as you can imagine! This is the picture in your signature, a part of the video of her washing the car. That night Dragline, who can not stop thinking about this girl, starts calling her "Lucille", because "anything that innocent just has to be named Lucille". If you can find it you should watch the movie, it is really excellent. George Kennedy won an Oscar for his performance in the movie. It's not my wife Astrid. She will not wash my car. She does her own Terlingua. I think it is one of the Playboy bunnies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY500SS Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Working on a set of Billboards. Maybe in time for the Bash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSX4350 Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 They have them at SAI in Vegas, the tire shop is right next door to the main building. I called to reserve a set, but they told me no need to they keep 2 or 3 sets on hand. Call them and check, and remind them that I am picking up a set also so I don't end up without a set. I get some every year, that way no shipping. They can possibly install them too. Now, understand that on the street the billboards SUCK!!! They wander all over the road, ride terribly and grab every road imperfection pulling you everywhere. On the track though, they are a totally different story. When they're cold they have zero traction, but once they warm up they stick like glue. If it were me and something you wanted to drive on the street a lot, I'd either get a spare set of wheels or not change to the billboards. On the street you'll run about 6 to 8 PSI higher to keep the sidewalls from flexing even more, so the tires tend to crown. That combined with them never really getting to temperature on the street causes them to not stick as well as they do on the track. Working on a set of Billboards.

Tires are in and wheels are coming from Vintage Wheels. Tom at Speedway Classic Cars is handling everything. His shop will also do a last minute track prep next Wednesday before the Bash.

Seriously, I am just about to leave to go pick 7506 up, that's why I'm up at this hour. Be home tomorrow, a few final touches then into the big trailer to leave for Vegas on Sunday morning.
