Crash-test Dummies

Blinded by the wind

Bob and Ken were working on their Lemons race car. Ken commented that he hadn't seen a running Stag in years. Bob's reply: "There's a good reason for that!"



Sharon's racing Mini on the right
Sharon presented us with a crash-test dummy. I don't get the joke?!?
I finally got the brake line zip-tied out of the way of the driveshaft, so it was time for a little drive. Still no windshield, I had to bungee the drivers door closed, tires are hideous, but what the hey. Michelle and I went up the hill to see Bob and Sharon and the old girl did fine. I got up to about 40 on a side road and tried the overdrive...no luck of course. Burned off a decade of sludge from around the manifold. Small coolant leak still from one of the hoses. Really need to do some serious electrical troubleshooting now, and start saving up for some tires!

Great picture, your Dummy looks a little nervous.
