Gina,
Your replying to a post at 9am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You got a new wireless network to your bed???? And yes that is sunlight you can see out of your curtains

Anyway how can it be cruelty to camper vans, you'd let your little puppies (well they were once!!!) run and jump about, and play in water, wouldn't you!!!!

I want to know engine he's using to get the better part of 2½ tons 3'0" off the ground for probably 20'0" !!!!

My old girl only just manages to puff it's way to 70 on the flat.

By the way, nobody tell Martyn my plans, right?
Megan would be gutted too.

It was all downhill. That's why there was water collected at the bottom.

At least they finally got a big enough engine that they could do away with the reduction gears at the ends of the axles.

I wonder if I can still find a picture of the 426 Hemi powered A series Dodge van reaching for the sky?

When you guys come here for the Noreast rally, I have a road I can take you on that will launch your hairy butts in the air. It is a little hill with a railway on the top. If you go over it with a car, the same thing as above happens. Many a car has been destroyed on this stretch of road. You think maybe they would put up a sign or something warning folks, but noooooooo, that would cost money and if they post that it's dangerous and someone or their vehicle gets trashed, then you could sue the town cause they "knew" it was dangerous. Besides, they aren't gonna lower it cause of the train tracks.
But it's cool, you'll like it, hee hee
I also know another one that is a lot safer and will put your stomach in your mouth at 65mph.

I suspect that the piece of road was specialy chosen. Although the engine has obvioudsly been upgraded the brakes probably havent, and therefore the rather large puddle was required to actually stop the beast !!!

I'm betting they had the awesome 1600cc motor in there.

Had one in a 67 Ghia with a little work done to it. Man oh man, that thing would move!!
