It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

I got that video as one of my Xmas gifts last year Bob, and have probably watched it 10 times so far............it's the best. I thought I knew every movie the "Kookie T" was in, but there was stuff in that video I had never seen or heard of.
Von Franco did a fantastic job on both T's and also the making of this video, I'd recommend it for any of us who were glued to our TV sets every Friday night waiting for a glimpse of that car.

Way kewl Uncle Bob!!!!! Never new it was Normies' bucket that ate your brain, all these years I've been thinkin' the GOP owned it!!!!!!!!!!!!:LOL
The kid watching TV brought back some memories... Dad used to say he wished the show was on every night, he was guaranteed 1/2 hour of peace and quiet in the house when it was on!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Another one that's been one of my favorites, though not as familiar as either Grabowski or Ivo's car was Marty Hollmann's '15 T that also got some TV time. This clip is from 77..... also, kinda hoaky, definitely not PC, but fun anyway (and I think that's Scritchfield's roadster that gets "wrecked")

Hey, just checking to see if you were paying attention!!!!!
Now, if they (libertarians) can just somehow figure out how to promote a candidate who can actually do something about the economy, run the country like a business--as in no deficit spending.... Back to the gold standard maybe???? i dunno, I'm no financial wizard, but to just keep issuing all that counterfit money sure doesn't make sense to me.... Hopefully, they can come up with a guy next time around....if you have any pull there Uncle Bob, I think someone who was a bit of an isolationist would be good, too!!!!
Sorry Bill, I'll get off the politics now!!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Yeah, right Pat. Bet him getting that award the other day really frosted you anti-Obama guys. Personally I loved it.
Bob, I never knew Marty's T was on there. Funny how the guys who owned those hot rods would let the studios beat the heck out of them for what, $ 50 a day? In one scene in the Brain movie the door on Grabowskis T smacks into the header, denting it.

That's the great thing about America Pat. We can all have our views and opinions and still remain friends with folks on the other side of the fence.

Dave, All my X's live in Texas, no wait, I think that's a song
Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
