Default Shortwave for cars?

Indeed. I had a g/f years ago, with an X1/9. She couldn't keep it
running for love or money. I spent a weekend going through that
drive train and rebuilt everything I could put my hands on.

Fired it up and took it out for some break-in driving.

VERY serious fun. Not too unlike that 914/6 I was driving at the
time.

I wouldn't mind owning one, myself, today.

The only thing I did to the car later on was remove the catalytic convertor and put some slightly larger
jets in the carb.

It was indeed a very fun car and I miss it like I miss my Dodge Dakota.



Ooohh...no doubt.


Damn near got killed in the Dakota on a Saturday afternoon just minding my own business.

Only two cars, well maybe three, I ever had totalled. My Opel GT was also totalled by a gal who was 'running
late'.



That's gotta hurt. I've only totalled one, myself. A '62
Studebaker GT Hawk. White over Riviera blue. 289 Quad/4 speed, floor
shift, and Twin-Trak Spicer (Dana) 44 rear axel. About 10 years ago.
I'd just finished the restoration. Like 24 hours before. Was driving
it to work when I was at CBS, and I got run into a bridge abutment
by a guy in a Tundra who ran me off the road on the Ohio feeder.

Screw yer crumple zones. That 900lb cast iron block/tranny damned
near wound up in my lap.
