Re: What if......Wez had this bike????

Mack Tanker's link to the Y2K jet bike looks like the type Jay Leno has been seen, and definitely heard, riding around his neighborhood. http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?fileid=8AF7710F-9190-4746-89B3-143F841089C2&p=0 When I saw the Viper powered bike I remembered this rediculous thing. ...

Re: Take your stink'n paws off me you damn dirty ape!!

I was a little too young, probably about 6 the first time I saw Planet of the apes. It was pretty tame by today's standards. No blood and guts, but there was a lot of creepy stuff going on. Taylor saw one of his friends in a museum who had been stuffed and mounted for display. He later discovered th...

Take your stink'n paws off me you damn dirty ape!!

I'll never forget that line.

Truly a sad day. One of my favorite actors on and off screen. Charlton Heston dies April 6th, at the age of 84.

Re: Only in America: Big Trouble in Little Texas

Everything about this company seemed legit 6 months ago. They had a licensing agreement with Carroll Shelby for the Eleanors. They were also building restomod '69 Camaros, '70 Challengers and '07 Mustang Stallions designed by Foose. I think mfpmax got it right. They got too big, too greedy, and took...

Re: Only in America: Big Trouble in Little Texas

When it comes to matters of fraud, criminal activity, and business ethics it's all a bit disturbing. Poor workmanship and cheap parts are just pissing issues.

Only in America: Big Trouble in Little Texas

Sounds familiar. Imagine leaving a $100K deposit on something you'll likely never see. Or i...

Re: Scott Injector on ebay...not real

It looks as though the description has been modified. A few questions...Is there a quick and easy way to tell the difference between a replica and an original Scott? The seller states that the unit can be made functional with additional parts. Do you know if these parts are available or if original ...
