Re: Pic of the day.

The Buick LaCrosse had to be renamed for Canada. "LaCrosse", in Quebecois slang, means masturbation.

Oh, and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Did not know this car existed: 1971 Chevelle SS with 400 sbc (300 hp + man pedal). Met the owner and he said this was factory option along with 350 sbc and 402/454 bbc

Re: Pic of the day.

We all know about GM's Chevy Nova meaning "it won't go" in Spanish markets, but did you know that Ford had a similar problem in Brazil with the Pinto?

Pinto was Brazilian slang for "tiny male genitals". Ford renamed the automobile Corcel, meaning "horse".

Who knew...... ;D

thought that was puto?

Re: Pic of the day.

And last but not least, Hans Stuck the first, King of the hillclimb

I never met him but my old boss was his sons co-driver in some BMW's along with i think David Hobbs and Hobb's brother too? He sure talked very very highly of Stuck, not so much as a driver but as a person.
here is one of my boss's old cars, I have a picture somewhere of the gtp but I'm not a photographer and it looks like crap. here it is...


here is another of my bosses old cars, he let me drive one of these one day, pretty cool....

Re: Pic of the day.

Here's the lil, and I do mean little, '70 Toyo Corona Deluxe that I've been doing some brake work on for a good buddy at work. He got it practically free from a neighbor who hadn't drove it in years.





That's a 3RC 1900 cc engine. Robbie got it with a lot of work done already, oil pan gasket, rebuilt carb, valve cover, tune up, and such. It has an AC system that is currently removed and in the trunk too.



This is what a blown wheel cylinder looks like. Fluid everywhere and the shoes contaminated and flaking away.



The other rear brake looked OK, but pulling back the wheel cylinder seal showed it was leaking too and on it's way out.


I already did the front brakes. Cars that sit for a long time often end up with brake issues.
