Hit another PH meet today, this time at Goodwood:                             On the way home we went through some respectable English villages...     Mystery car: What is this thing? We were guessing a Marcos:

Nothing wrong with riding without a front plate, I've been doing it for 8 years and have yet to get pulled over for it. Is there something odd about this picture or do the blades deflect that much while in motion?

Things that are moving very quickly get strange effects applied to them since the entire image isn't taken all at once. I believe it's called rolling shutter effect.

I thought those things were supposed to resist body roll, or was that just the DS?

Only Citrons with hydropneumatic suspension resist roll and only really from the XM on, when they added extra suspension spheres that would stiffen up under cornering. The ultimate version of this was the Xantia Activa, which combined the additional spheres with computer control, resulting in a comfortable car that would nonetheless go through the infamous Swedish moose test faster than a Porsche 996 GT2.

Did you plasti-dip the base stock wheels? It looks like you and someone else had to take a road trip to visit family for the holidays and instead of going together I'm picturing you each racing Corvettes across the country and I have to know more. If you just googled "corvette full of stuff" I'll be sad so make something up.

XJ Cherokees while basically just a lifted station wagon, can fit a silly amount of cargo. Such a weird vehicle those. Mine was lifted 6.5" and was sitting on 33" tires, making it a solid 8 or 9 inches taller, and the roofline was still lower than a Dodge Caravan. Anyways, I was able to pack in 10 wheels in summit racing boxes, and 2 lift kits packaged in multiple boxes. The best part, I declared it all at the Border coming back into Canada, expecting to pay around $400 in taxes. The border guard says "WHAT ? You fit 10 wheels in that thang ? I ain't doing all that paperwork!" And waved me through.

Here's a good demo of lead filler See the dude in the red jacket? That's Bill Hines. He's completely hosed up from decades using the stuff, and smoking a cigar while he gives no fucks. Safety gear is a must nowadays, never ignore it.

So the ad I got for that link was about substance abuse. Also 23 years of wiping lead with a towel with no gloves might do that too. Preoptopus fucked around with this message at 03:12 on Dec 18, 2012 |

I like at the start where he reminisces about the days before they stopped using mercury as an additive. Jesus, old timers were loving crazy. "Lemme heat up this lead and mercury" *lights cigar with torch*

The old timer at our shop has been standing in a cloud of dust from cleaning off rims for about 36 years breathing gently caress knows what. When I started bringing a dust mask he jokes "what you dont want to die?! But seriously that's a good idea, I've never seen that before"
