I should have known better with my niece but my daughter didn't realize there were 6 gears in the Banshee and was keeping up with the guys on motorcycles in Ocotillo, probably never above 3rd gear fully rapped out. Â
Haven't gotten my fingers greasy in some time, I'm overdue I suppose |
Lose bottom ends in my Dwarf car all to often. Then again we run 12,000 rpm's at a minimum. When they go, theres nothing left. |
Fun cars to listen to, I like the RPM's. At 12k I'm sure anything will disintegrate if it fails.

Looks pretty neat at night as they usally go up in flames too. Small oil fire covering car. Nights done so start the party early, BBQ and drink all night. Getting up in the morning to survey the damage is always an eye opener.

In the buggy days we never went out solo, always two buggies and each had a tow strap, we've towed each other in more than once!..

There was a stretch where I towed back MalibuKen pretty much every time we went out......he sold that jinxed buggy. |
I had one of them before!. Didn't sell it though, just got pissed and stripped it and re did the whole thing, then I started doing the towing!..
