the stang is retired for winter but the pinto will still make a cruise lap now and then .. just went on a small round trip and on the way some kids standing out in a yard came running out to the road jumping up and down waving a sign .. i slowed way down to see the sign and it said " PECANS" .. but i knew i only had three bucks in my pocket so i did not stop . Later in the lap i got to feeling a bit bad about not stopping so i decided on my way back home i would stop and if i could not buy any pecans i would just give them the three bucks i had anyway ...so i stop and as i roll down my window a pit bull puppy comes running up to my car .. i hear a woman holler " Willie "" STOP " ... i says OK !! ... turns out it was the name of her pit bull dog .. i tell her it was also my name .. HA !! anyway turns out the pecans are 3 bucks a pound .. everyone is happy as i drive away .. now i`m broke but my birds will eat good next week ..

after 14 years of good service the starter of my pinto went out over the weekend .. got it towed home and got a new smaller hi torque version from orielly`s .. put it on and it worked fine except it would keep cranking for about 5 seconds after the engine was running ..i thought it was fitting too tight and i shimmed it many times with no improvement ..since i had built the car i have been running the original ford solenoid mounted on the firewall in conjunction with the chevy solenoid which mounts directly on the starter .. some wiring magic back then made it work just fine .. but this time around it would not work .. i had to do away with the hookup on the ford switch and hook directly onto the chevy starter .. one of those things that make you go " HHHMMMNN "

Have you checked any of the coolant tubes, thermostat housing, or water pump area for a bleeding valve?

Good on you Hoss, yep, nothing lazier then some critter who will stop and purchase a drink to enjoy while driving but never thing about the consequences of dropping their litter out of the moving vehicle. Imagine if they walked out side their home to find somebody had dumped a truck load of rubbish onto their front garden, all hell would break out I dear say, no, people need to stop and think about how much we, as humans, pollute this world we share.

I finally found the full length movie " Last of the Dogmen " on youtube the other night to watch. It was commended by a fellow T Roadster owner in America who claimed it to be the best modern type western movie of all time. I highly commend it too for a great story line, a wee bit of humour and absolutely stunning scenery. It certainly rekindled my desire to get up there and explore your great country.

Must be great, after seeing all that great Kiwi scenery in the movies and you saying that it must be something, I always thought New Zealand might be the prettiest place on earth, well at least next to Missouri (just kidding)

Mark, If you make it to Idaho we have a spare bed for you to crash in. I am going to look for that movie on youtube.


Jack.

Hope you find it and enjoy it as much as I did Jack. Matt, yes we have some beautiful country here in NZ. but nothing as vast as the Rocky Mountain range and the area of the north east area of Washington and Idaho. I reckon it would take me months just to explore that region alone as I wouldn't want to miss anything.
Thank you Jack for your kind offer of a bed as that it really special in my book to be welcomed into somebodies home is such a privilege .

You're welcome Mark, it would be my pleasure.


Jack.

That was a classic! Thanks.
