Marlon from Dayton, OH who owned the triple black 427 convertible, and stopped in on occasion..............

really a nice person from the conversations I had with him off the forum site........................

"Soulmate" A powerful word for wonderful feelings. We should all be so blessed along the way. Never enough time to say goodbye.

Well that's Great. I'll tell the Wife we have a place to hang out when we Go South. You do have a basement? feel right at home. I know how to run a pool and clean it too. I can bring some Cougar Gold but no ice cream.

Probably be just like that movie, oh yes Vacation. We'll keep it down for the neighbors. Thanks' For the Offer.........




Rest of the family......

with all the recent talk about ice cream, and "old fashioned" good old days memories................... in the true tradition of the baser camp, and looking for additional opportunities to increase our finances.............

decided to put together this old fashioned street vendor version.......



went online and found out where they have me stayin' while out of town.........................



supposedly wanted me to feel right at home..................

The wheels need cleaned. They are all black from I guess brake dust.

You need to get rid of the hideous black appendage on the front of it as well.

I also agree with Deshaman.....once they wash the brake dust off those wheels that will look almost worthy of hanging with the Huskers for Chrome bunch.......

Just a warning....the Beer and Bacon fest will be starting this weekend in the GS lounge....tickets on sale.....they will go quick...... Basers will be having a weenie roast over some 55 gal drums that we are burning trash in.......no tickets needed for that......

Looking forward to that.......lots of bacon being shipped in......the Bacon Bikini Team will be serving......

H1 and deshammy.................... wayback told it like it is.........

that GS'er started his own post with those pictures in it, and if I recall correctly................ I made the first comment about how good it looked especially with the dark wheels...................

now, since I am currently out of the country........... and won't be back until the weekend..................

wondered if the baser girl was grilling the hot dogs again for the baser camp boys...................

also saw H1's mention of GS'er girls wrapped in bacon bikinis..........

wondered if they looked anything like this photo found in the GS'er lounge advertising those particular services.................

Basers are always trying to be helpful to the GS'ers(as they need it).

Women don't usually crave Wide Bodies, so maybe you don't have much experience with this. But take it from a Baser it happens and here's how to spot it and Handle it.

have a bunch of them hanging out with Corvette brothers in AZ.......

great group of people..............
Thanks.
And don't worry I am used to people making comments about the cars weight because that's all they can fault with it...lol. In a straight line it will kill most cars on the street. So it's a FAST boat...lol.
But it would surprise you in the other areas. With the huge Brembos, it stops from 60-0 in only 3 feet more than a Mustang GT. Don't remember the exact distance, but very respectable. And it is capable of .92-94 Gs cornering. Not Corvette numbers, but not bad either.
Since I no longer road race or autox, daily driving a car like this makes sense. I can put people in the back seat and they have head room, i have a large trunk, it is very comfortable and it has heated and cooled seats...oh yeah...did I say it hauls _ss!!!!
A big fat pig that does 11.2 on stock tires and 10.8 on drag radials bone stock is nothing to complain about.
