I had this old Pulsar on for a few minutes today. I inherited it from my stepdad. I had to get a battery and make a ring to be able to snap the back in place again. It has an old Twist-a-Flex watch band.
I just returned from a two-week trip to Virginia to visit my 92-year-old mother and attend my nephew's wedding. I drove there straight through in 23 hours and 40 minutes including stops covering 1,400 miles. Not easy on a guy turning 70 in a few weeks. What's your road story?
One thing I...
Robert Denton in Ponca City can do anything in the way of machine work or welding on any gun. He builds custom rifles and trained under Gorty Getters whose rifles win national benchrest titles.
Mine is getting pretty thin on top but still looks full. It has so little gray that I've been asked several times if I dye it. My bread is half gray. I guess I'm lucky to have had it last this long because I'll be 70 in a few weeks. I've always worn ballcaps. All the Latins in the US celebrate...
These new Fiats aren't the Fix It Again Tony Fiats of the '70s. Both have been 100% reliable. The Land Rovers are a close second. My Discovery started dying at an idle sometimes when it had 114,000 miles on it. I got a code reader, and it said I had a bad O2 sensor. I changed out all four and...
I have to put one of the Fiats on dollies and push it up against one wall to get the '72 Land Rover, the '96 Land Rover, and the other Fiat in my garage. The '62 Jaguar stays in there. I'm only risking the '91 SHO, which I hope to sell later. Our Subaru is in inside storage just outside of town.
I was reading these and thinking the same thing. It would be like the government to get the insurance companies to require this so one of them doesn't lose being reelected.
I bought this new about a year and a half ago. I got a deal on a better watch and don't need two automatic watches. Perfect shape other than some very light scratches on one side in the metal. The crystal is perfect. I have the box but, haven't found the paperwork yet. $150 I may be able to...
Best way to fix it is in a lathe. Line up a single point cutter upside down in the good threads and back it off the barrel. You will lose height on the bad threads but should then be able to screw anything over it then. It would be easy to cross thread a nut die on those bad threads.
It may never happen but even if it does it doesn't mean that it will come to the US. One thing to think about is Lamborghini started out building tractors.
I just watched a clip posted on one of Fiat sites about a new pickup truck from Lamborghini, a Urus pickup with a base price of $20,000. Knowing US dealers, they would probably mark it up another $10K. For $20K I'd buy one. The price is stated in the clip. It isn't a figure I just dreamed up lol.
