Thing of beauty if you are into old planes.

Fairly rare in a Fairmount. Actually kinda gutless for a V8 but still way better than the little 6. Easy enough to double the stock 302 hp, but... Fairmount, Zephr... why bother? I took the catalytic converter out (was all broken up inside), got noticeably better power, little better gas mileage, and could finally tell from the sound it was a V8 not a 6 (the converter quieted it down better than the muffler). Still passed emissions testing, too. They've all been gone a long time up here, salt ate 'em up quickly. They were just a 4 door Mustang, most of the mechanicals were the same. Bad part about that - an otherwise ignorable car for theft was prized for Mustang parts with ruining a Mustang. Someone cut the radiator out of mine parked in the driveway at night. Worst part of that was replacing the transmission oil line they just cut off, along with the hoses.

 

That's probably the best looking one in the world. Red Bull details their planes to better than they came out of the factory. Always thought the Corsair is one of the best looking piston fighters. I think the last tough looking fighter was the F4 Phantom, now they all look like cheap cgi movie spaceships, and until you get close, hard to tell if they're American, Russian or Chinese. We build it, they copy it. I'd put my money on the American version in a dogfight, though.

 

Bright and sunny out there. This is how I feel about that...

 

Carol showed up, guess I should pay some attention to her. Later.

Glad to see you're back, Marcus. And now I know which one Rob is, hi Rob.

 

It's official nap day......

 

Thought that was the Amish team.....

 

Got some chores done. Might take a nap if the kids aren't too loud

 

Heading to town. Kiddo is in a play. Dr Dolittle.

 

Those F4U-4s are cool planes alright. Red Bull must have that one tuned perfectly, no smoke on start-up.
