Fred
I should have added that this is the first time the wheels have been off the car.

I have one of those hugh aluminum tools for the spinners. Way too heavy and combersome to use properly. I quickly went to the lead hammer. But I did wrap the lead end with a heavy old sock and some duct tape. Spinners have NO marks on them.
Time for an oil change and filter. While I'm down there, will probably change the anti-freeze too.

Warren,
I always wrap my spinners with heavy cloth and they have no marks on them either. I wasn't to impressed with the so called spinner wrench that I saw this guy had. And as I said, it wouldn't work on all spinners anyway.

Well, I got the oil and anti-freeze changed. Lousy day, with light rain all day and its not supposed to stop until noon tomorrow.
One of the club member's son came down to the club where I have the Cobra, and he had two young women with him. They were both in their late 20's and they went ape over the Cobra. It was up on jackstands and they pleaded with me to take them for a ride. I said "Its raining out" and they said "So what?".
I think they were a couple of Tru's daughters because they both were Minnesota Viking cheerleaders. I asked if I could take some pictures and they were all excited. Parts of me were excited too! Went out to my daily driver and NO camera - it was at home.
Sorry .... Use your imagination.

Holey cow, leave the forum for a day and you are like hours of reading behind.
Went out on woodward last night. Only tried to be impressive once, about a 40 roll and I punched it...the tires spun and made smoked.
Need less to say, I was worried of going sideways and did not do it again.
Getting a bit of back fire, I think it was from all that 1500 rpm crawling we did, the plugs are probably fouled to the max.
Well, I am going to be doing a major cleaning on the car tomorrow. Got a show on Tuesday.
Wish I could get you all to show up, that would be great.

Well, one is mountain climbing in CA, the other is working here in SE Michigan. Thanks Warren, I certainly had an opportunity, but I am not aware of any results in your area.

Ron,
Josh spent yesterday afternoon horseback riding in a State Park north of us.
Later,we were talking about how the Spainards brought the first horses over.
We got to wondering what you thought when you saw the very first horse offloaded.Do you remember which Port it was ?

Fred,
Actually the Spaniards only brought the horses over here. They were down bread from some of the first dinosaurs. That is why they have some that are so huge and some that are so small. Jack Asse* are the first off spring of the first politician. He was a very primitive caveman that wanted to run things because he had a larger club.

Tru,
That was good. After all anyone who would admit to owning a French Frog that they can't even control could easily be named that.

Warren,
This was after my last drive a couple of days ago. It is overcast and humid here today but not real high temperatures.

Do you have a carport one foot in front of your garage?

Duuuuhhhhhhhhh, I don't know. Just seems strange to have a carport in front of a garage!

Warren,
Yes I have a car port that is about 1 foot in front of my garage and covers most of the driveway. Great for the winters. I can pull the cars out into the carport to run them and keep the exhaust out of the garage.
Tru,
Here is that Chevrolet that you wanted to know about which was parked next to the Coupe in the post above.

Warren,
You, the proud owner of a Wooden Turtle are calling me strange. Many people around here have car ports in front of their garages. They help a lot in the Summer to keep the outside cars cooler.

I'm gonna build a carport outside of my garage, ASAP.

It's not too strange around here at all!
