I bet there are not enough seat belts in that car to keep you from squirming if he took you out for a ride Mr. go-fast!

I am sure you drove Sullys car AFTER you made him put a block of wood under the gas pedal. Anything over 4 grand and you need to change your briefs I heard. Thats right Tommy. Get to work so you can continue to pay into mine AND Benny's SS. Thanks a million!

Here's some more pic's of Sully's car from 2008......."And" as I remember, we went out for a little drive (Sully, Wilmasboy, and my Gold "Beater") and we all reduced our rear tire sizes a little........LOL

Score 1 for Long Island, Thx for the kind words folks. The locals might be able to spot the abandoned runways that we did the shoot at (hint: they built F14 Tomcats there) and after it was done, the car was repeatedly "exercised" on the 2 mile long flat concrete runway, a blast to say the least. Scott from MCR was very cool, took over 300 pics and did a nice write up on car. MCR is always looking for cars, if anybody is interested I will get you the contacts, they are very nice people to deal with. Go Jets.!

OK....I went to 4 different stores in freezing weather this morning just to find a copy of this publication <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smirk.gif
Then I had to stand in line for 20 minutes to pay for it <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif
I figure that between wear and tear, fuel and travel time, the magazine cost me about 25 bucks!!...and there wasn't even a burnout pic <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif
On a positive note there was a plug for Jim's wife...Mrs. Sully <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif she really deserves all the credit for this car...she endured all those years and months of the restoration process <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif
With the warmest regards...wilma <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif

Mike...I used to subscribe to all these mags <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/crazy.gif
There are piles of them in the garage and more in the storage shed <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif
One day I just cancelled them all...occasionally I buy a few in the store just to keep in tune with the hobby.
Besides, I really don't need to buy car magazines...I've got all you guys for free entertainment <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif

Cool article. Congrats Sully!
Finally got to read the article Friday night. Our fantastic Postal Service found a way to deliver the cover of the magazine last week, ........ but NOTHING ELSE! I had to run to B&N to get the rest of the magazine.
