Now I know why the Willys Jeep had such narrow track.

They didn't realize that you only had to let 80% of the air out of the tires and they wouldn't have needed the rail undercarriage.

Seems there are a number of us who enjoy these historical photos of trains and the thread started by Mikey a long time ago with warbirds. Some according to a post yesterday do not. So while this group agonizes over the Ptz1 option of carbon fibre floor mat holder studs or the Rty2 unbotainiam metal studs option we can, as a diversion this morning only, enjoy this. They will never see it in any case.

It often amazes me how some do not have any idea what they are missing as many have never been anywhere else on the forum. There is certainly a different mind set amongst those members. Thank goodness we still have and attract the cross section of members that can appreciate and contribute to the variety of discussion available here with other important and interesting things in the world. Great post Murray. Feel free to throw us a "diversion" anytime you like....

Really? You should be reading the Who's on the Stingray list, the Z06 list, the Eray list, the C9 list and whatever other lists that may have been started today. You should check them daily and often hourly to stay informed as they update faster than the TSX market watch.

So thats how they load the C8's onto the rail cars...no wonder some of them get damages, with the front hanging down like that splitters could get scraped going over the wall.

Man in front seat " You see, in the early days there were not a lot of people living that far out. They made me responsible for ticket sales and payment collection then I would act as conductor and engineer and transport them to town. Todays a busy one , I got 2 gents, one with luggage, now if you don't mind I'll crank it up and git on my way. I don't likes to be late fer dinner."
