Oh my. I would definitely sell a kidney to own that. Kidneys are overrated anyway.
 
lol, post by post now, i'm seeing words i don't understand, and really can't tell if its about cars or basses :roflmao:
Yes, that’s exactly what it is, along with motorcycles, watermelons, tube and SS amps, model railroading and WWII airplanes. Occasionally we get off topic and start talking Fender (referred to as 7ender or FSO) or Rickenbacker basses. :D
 
Wait until we start talking about motorcycles. Happens every couple of weeks.


Motorcycles? I had a '74 Kawasaki Z1 about twenty five years ago that I had traded a car for in Burlington, VT where I was living at that time. One nice summer day I decided to drive back to Worcester to visit my parents so I dressed in what I thought were appropriately clothing, T shirt, shorts and a helmet because it was so nice out and I was driving south. :laugh: It's about a 3 1/2- 4 hour drive normally. When I got about halfway home it started getting a little chilly, then it started to drizzle, then I started to getting really cold and wet and had to drive about 15 mph down the breakdown lane I was so cold. I don't remember how long it took me but as I pulled into my former little town of Millbury I got a rear flat and had to walk he last couple of miles to their house. Not a pleasant memory.
 
I just put down payment on my NR Thunderbird, its the sparkling burgundy one. Will have it in about a month, then i can really party with you guys, lol:hyper:
oh and WWII aircraft :drool:, don't even get me going there....love me some old airplanes, especially military. Am only 2.5 hours from wright patt base, with an awesome free museum. I've been at least 20 times in last 25 years..

Here I am (on the left) hanging off one of the propellers of a Kawanishi H8K 'Emily' off Saipan.
