Billy O caused me to realize something when he pointed out I misspelled Saunders

39,830 posts.... so far. There are going to be misspellings. Plus, I've been doing this a while, and could lose it at any moment. So, in summation, choose carefully how many times and why, that you'd like to send in corrections to something like spelling errors.

Especially if it's Monday morning and I haven't had coffee. In which case, you'll ruin the warm happy fuzzy feeling I've produced from a morning of blogging cool fun stuff. In other words, I'm just barely keeping an even keel, need coffee, not corrections. So, if you know a coffee store that could be my next home, with wi fi, and a soft place to sit for hours and hours, tell me that, instead of correcting spelling errors

Mondays - they are like that.

I think a need another weekend, and SEMA, and coffee. And a forest. There just aren't any forests in so cal.... and it's been about 8 years since I've even driven through a forest. I haven't walked through one in about 20 some years. Maybe I just need a good sized lake and to go fishing. With coffee. For bluegill.

Cherry was a motorsport fan, and with the accentuated long tail and forward seating position of the 5.08-meter-long SRV, it’s clear he drew inspiration from the Porsche 917-LH, which had competed in the 1969 Le Mans 24 Hours. Similar to the 917s, Cherry also provided mobile aerodynamic aids for the SRV. But instead of ‘flaps’ at the rear, like the Porsche, there was a pedal in the cockpit that could adjust an aerofoil in the nose section. At the same time, an electrically operated levelling system was provided for the rear axle. Also interesting was that it was possible to pump and re-distribute gasoline into different tanks, to ‘trim’ the SRV like an airplane or submarine The SRV was shown again at the 1...

a video of it getting off the start line:  https://www.facebook.com/ky.michaelson/videos/10214548383638906 https://www.facebook.com/ky.michaelson/posts/10214554840800331 https://www.facebook.com/efiexpert/ Bill sent me this example of what it looks like: And I think it's remarkably like that! The motor is a 427 LSX from Golen Engine Service in New Hampshire. It has two 88mm turbos and Holley Dominator EFI. https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Cars/Bonneville-Salt-Shark-226594851348688/
