I am currently retracing Forest Gump's cross-country run. But in a car, on a different route, going much faster than he did.

I was wrong (geez, don't tell my wife!) about the disc for his car, it IS a T-Bird rear disc....but with a re-drilled stud pattern as the Bird is a metric pattern. I have a set of take-off discs for a MK III that will work. They are drilled to the correct pattern and just need the preservative coating removed.

Currently my walk has me in Connecticut where there is no food or water, and all the Cobras are beige!

Lack of food and water I could deal with, but beige cobras

Apologies Mark IV. I didn't realize you were on an extended trip. I thought it was just a couple of days or a weekend, and perhaps this had slipped off your radar screen. Whenever you get back would be fine.

Thanks for the additional commentary on the Metric vs. Imperial stud location drillings. I should have mentioned that but overlooked it.

Watch out for those beige Cobras. I understand they are a wily bunch ...
