Shirley went on to stardom because she was a big star (royalty) in one of her former lives. Folks don't change much as they cycle through eternity. Dick Tuttle

Craig, Matt, et al... I have a medical issue that I thought I would be done with by now, but the 5 doctors I have seen are clueless. I am not up to driving over in the Peel as much as I want to. Pleas

I have been asked to help in the sale of a 1955 KR200 from the estate of Ed Garbutt, a former Arcaner. Ed bought the car in 1957 and kept careful records ever since. It was restored some years ago and

I am pretty sure it is a real picture, but I am sure the Georgia part is photo shopped. The cars in the background are not what one would see in Georgia, and their license plates are European in shape

Georgia is not used to snow, as can be seen by their sole snow removal equipment. Anyone recognize what this thing was cut down from? Must have been a rear engine. Dick Tuttle

The value of an old hit and miss engine is basically what you can get someone to pay for it. To get an idea you may look at classifieds here: http://www.smokstak.com/forum/ and in other sites. I would

I don't know if your hydrosyphon system works differently from the thermosyphon system in my '34 Morgan JAP, but I have run around 50% antifreeze for 35 years now and never overheated, even though the

Anyone familiar with 19th century locomotive technology would easily understand NSU cam drives. I don't know if they had any weaknesses, but they used them on cars and bikes for quite a while. Dick Tu

You can't appreciate the Trabbi until you have seen A Car for a Dollar which you can find on line. Of course, if you are a pulmonary wuss you can never appreciate a Trabbi! Dick Tuttle

Once my nephew installed a distributor, Alfa 1300, I think, and didn't actually engage the drive dogs. He had shoved it down hard enough to engage the skew shaft by friction only. He got it timed and

I remember the Honda 600 crushing event. Seems the issue was the possibility of CO leaking into the defroster circuit. I think they crushed the car complete with engine, tires, etc. Dick Tuttle

Seems like I remember something about some rear engine Fiats having reverse rotation. Make sure which way the crankshaft and distributor turn to make the Multipla go forward. If needed, the valve timi

Although the configuration is that of a radial engine, the Adams-Farwell, like the countless Gnome-Rhone engines used on so many early aircraft, is a true rotary. The pistons don't go up and down and

Wow, that sure was police overkill. Did the organizers have to pay for the police overtime? Where I live that would drain most club treasuries since those fellows are extremely well salaried and benef

When I got my'74 Reliant Robin, it came with a factory manual that clearly stated that radials should NEVER be used on a Robin. I was kind of worried because radials were all I could find and always r

Looks like a Veritas to me, a very nice looking German sports racer of the 50s. The very first ones were Panhard based, but most ran mechanicals from prewar BMW 328s. Headlights look VW. Dick Tuttle

I didn't know if the BMC interest of the failing Lloyd-Hansa concern. Borgward, of course, ended up in Monterrey Mexico, where all the production machinery sat ina field a couple of years before they

I had the same thoughts that Dave did. The guy died naturally at 82, surrounded by things that he liked. It might be those Amphicar guys. They're always kind of weird, except Craig, of course! Dick Tu
