    Thats neat stuff Jim, even at an early age you were talented. If I tried to do anything cool, build anything, take anything apart or buy something motorized my old mad would kick my ass...he was not a cultivator of creativity...

        Cool stuff! I was building go carts of sorts. My dad built me a wooden go cart. My friend I found a couple of old self propelled lawn mowers. We bolted a pulley on to a wheel, used an idler pulley as a clutch. Did wicked burn outs with it! Got pictures some place.

            Good to hear from ya DWB! I was afraid you might not have made the transition.
            Been a long time since I saw the "fine pilsner" Lite label!

            I hope we still have pictures of the matchbox track from the 3rd story window... supported by two step ladders then a lawn chair - I'm sure the scale speed those cars reached was in the three digits - man would they fly off the jump at the end.

            We did manage to damned near burn down the garage when my friend decided pouring a bit of gas onto a burning pile of fire crackers was a good idea!

            I shuter when I think about the modifications I made to the stingray bike I used to have.... had the three speed shifter on the top frame tube and everything - before I got done with it. I wanted a dirt bike.

            There's always something new to learn.

              They tried to keep me out, but I crept in through the back door!
