BIG SHOES !!!!

Great photo and story!

Laughing my A$$ off after this one .

could that fellow in the middle be carl shelby ? carroll`s lesser known brother . nah .. thats dan .. a local ford dealor who is very much a car guy and hot rodder .. thats` his pantera .. he has about a dozen hot rods as well as many other ford muscle cars and rides in his collection ..all ford powered of coarse ..

i`m not sure the pic will get past the mods but the story fits .. back when i was active in sports i went every sunday nite up to park city tenn to a small gym to play basketball with some friends .. one nite as i was going home i fell in behind a little car with an alabama tag .. quite odd to do at that time of nite .. we trailed each other for about 12 miles and it made a left turn onto carriger road ... so did i .. after about 5 miles it turned right onto manley road .. so did i .. we came to a four way stop and it zoomed away at a high speed only to have to stop again at the next stop sign ,, so did i .. turned right onto .. walnut grove rd ... they actuall ran the next stop sign for some reason .. but again had to stop to turn left on henry taylor .. drove away agin as fast as they could up that street .. then i saw brake lites and it turned into a driveway .. ( my driveway ) .. i pulled in a bit suspicious of what was going on .. overheard the obviously terrified woman talking very loudly to someone on her phone .. yelling she was being followed and mY god !!! he`s right behind me ... i did my best to ignore her death threats as i unlocked my front door and went into my home .. after a few minutes she drove away .. very similiar thing happened later but they only stopped in front of my home and walked back to my car and asked why i was following them .. i said " cause i live here "" do you ???

too late to post and almost to buzzed to do so .. just took a lap in my stang .. hit it hot and heavy in first .. went into second and the stupid driveshaft hits the ground .. my # 1 fan courtney is watching so i`m happy anyway .. folks dont mind if i break stuff when i`m giving them my all .. had to only walk a little bit .. a neighbor heard me and came to my rescue .. and to beat all .. a state trooper was ticketing some poor sole as i was walking back to see the damage .. sometimes luck is on my side.. (edit ) man !!! 6 hours later and i have to re read my post to see what i did .. almost overslept ... almost late for work .. what a nite and the boyfriends girlfriend is home . and she called me first

a familiar site round my neck of the woods .. the stang on the " fetch " trailor .. broke the front yoke .. never did that before .. shaft is ruined .. brakeline is cut .. good thing i was only in the middle of second gear when it came apart .. motor still runs though .. no doughnuts yet .. got to get out and scare up some things to post about .. my quitting drinking did`nt last long.. 10 days ... i could not sleep .. got tired of being up all nite and day .. took my medicine ( 12 pack of sudlite ) yesterday .. and slept like a baby

a rare treat for you folks .. i never usually post pics of myself but lately i dont care what people think .. i`m a great guy even if i must say so myself .. i will share a bit more of my storied history with you soon .. stupid buddy holley glasses .. from 1974 by the way ...

Young and had some hair huh

i am quite the animal lover .. wouldn`t harm a fly .. but i will kill every sparrow bird that flys in my yard .. those things are nuthin but roaches with feathers .. but on with the story .. back when i was in wedfull bliss with my ex we went to the grocery and on the way back i spied a monster of a snapping turtle in the middle of the highway trying it`s best to not get squshed .. i pulled over to the side of the road and took one of the boxes we had loaded our groceries in and subdued the beast with intentions of releasing it out of harms way .. as we were driving it would now and then make a great effort to escape the box it was in and my wife ( at the time ) would scream bloody murder for me to get that thing out of our car .. in a bit it settled down and the wife seemed to forget about it .. as she was daydreaming i gave her a good pinch on her leg .. she yelled most unkind obscenities at me and after beating me half to death demanded i stop and let the beast out .. which i did as i was where i wanted to take it anyway .. had i known at the time that 3 months later she would ask for a divorce and shack with with one of my ( former ) good friends i would have kicked her out of the car as well as the turtle .

woke last night to the sound of thunder
how far off i sat and wandered
started humming a tune from 1962
aint it funny how the nite moves

but i did wake up in the middle of a thunderstorm .. i love a good lightning show .. my mother and grandmother also enjoyed them ... we rarely get such a spectacular event any more .. since the great tornado outbreak of 74 every time it rains there is a tornado threat ..hook echoes to dodge .. mezzocyclones to run from .. great drive into work this morning facing the storm ...

i mean good show saturday nite at the cafe 302 cruise in ,, not much happening in my world of late but i can post show pics all day long ..

over a week without a post .. sorry !! there`s just not a lot happening in my world lately .. sold the black truck .. trying to sell the two pintos and the tracer .. trying to deal with my feelings for this lady who sometimes stays with me ..getting out of shape from not working out and consuming too much suds .. still have not gotten the driveshaft fixed in the stang .. i just fire it up in the shop every day and give it a few redline revs ,, probably will blow it up before i break it in good .. loving the warm weather that has finally arrived .. supposed to be in the 80`s this weekend .. i know there is one little car event i will go to .. may get some pics there to post

sitting in my swing yesterday evening i hear the distinctive puttering of a classic old vdub coming up my street and as i sit up for a better look two of them cruise by followed by this ford and then a flat bed hauling an old ford truck .. sweet i said . then they stopped at the church on the corner .. great i thought .. i`ll run up and get some shots .. after the first pic ( this one ) the fellow who must have owned the caravan comes up and ask " can i help you ? " i said no ... just wanting some pics of your stuff ,, he said you ever thought about asking if you could take pics of my "stuff" .. i said you`re in public view fellow in a public churchyard .. you cant stop me from getting a picture .. i had a similiar situation with a model at a car show .. she was standing in the way of a car i shot and a few minutes her and some goons came up and made me delete the shot with her in it .."" i make my living from my pictures she said "" you cant have one for free !!
