Thread: The Old Fart Won............

Tweet

Yep, as we age we get a little softer and the old bones don't bend as well as they once did. We also get a little more cautious. I get out of the shower like a 90 year old now so I don't slip and fall, and yesterday I got on my 27 a little in traffic in 2nd gear, and I kept looking in the mirror for flashing lights. In the old days I wouldn't have given that a second thought.

Damn isn't getting older a worry. But then if we all could be young again but with the knowledge we have learnt over all those years,everybody look out!!! And talking about our cars, who would of thought of putting opening doors on a T Bucket as the old legs just don't bend like they did 20 years ago. I don't know about the mild cam tho.

That makes me feel better....Redneck did some little mods and installed a power steer box in the F100 a couple of weeks back,and now its SO much more user friendly,especially when backing up with a trailer,and the road over Mt Messenger is a bit tight,so it helps there too...

I do miss the lumpy idle. Although this cam isn't exactly smooth. A little rump rump. But part of the reason for the change is power. It's actually alot faster off the line. I didn't have enough stall for the crane cam. And the power band started at 2500. The Howards cam comes in at 1000 and pulls to 4500, so since I'm not racing it, and the motor is mild anyway, this probably is a better choice. Hmmmmmm............... This kinda sounds like I'm trying to justify the change so I don't sound like an old fart... Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........
