Frosty

But some body has to do it! Cheers mate!

Give the Louvre my regards Mon amie! If you need help drinking the Heineken, you know who to call, right? For us, that would technically be a "beer run"! Happy to help a bloke who has too much beer on his hands!

To piggy back onto what 31pontiac stated, I was also eager to watch this show. However, it highlighted for me how I can probably never afford one of their cars. They are awesome re-designs of the Camaro while still paying tribute to Pontiac's past. I need about $200k in the bank to afford a new Trans Am or a proper restoration. Makes the pool of customers extremely narrow. LS or LT conversions are nice. They've become the SBC conversion of the last 20 years. They are not the be all/ end all conversion though. Swapping out a 326 or 350 for a 455 makes a lot of sense with a lot less cost and the need for specialty parts like custom motor mounts, headers and a new oil pan.

I am sooooo happy for you and your duty free gift, I could just cry mate! Does the missus know you are getting another lorry as yard art once the beer is gone? Asking for a friend.

Dude! Where the hell have you been?!? The wife clearly got way too much honey do time out of you!!!! You need to come back to us and be evil and talk about cars with your buds!

Nice!

Medieval marriage counseling?

Interesting. Two observations: First, the LS3 is a corporate V8 and not a true Pontiac-built engine (it's still a fine engine). Most Pontiac-built V8s had a redline between 6000-6500, including the Super Dutys and HO motors. Second, the highest revving Pontiac-built engine is the OHC 6 with a red line of 6700 for the 4-bbl version.

If you are talking about the Sycrause Nationals, a buddy of mine is volunteer at the show. Big older gent, straw hat, fu man chu mustahce. Drives a green '51 Ford with ghost flames. Welcome to FP!

Is there a happy ending to this story? Do the employees still get free beer? Otherwise this is the saddest story ever - NO MORE FREE BEER LADS!!!!!

You remind me of wanting Norm's dream job!

In the late '90s, my dad and I did a whirlwind tour of Germany. One of the highlights was spending time at the actual Hofbräuhaus beer hall in Munich. A real German oompah-pah band is playing. Singing German drinking songs I have no idea what the song was about. Watching waitresses carry 8 liters of beer at a time. A truly wonderous place!

You gotta lot of nerve to show us that mate! You are bringing free samples back for all your mates, aaaaaren't you?!?!

I saw it when it first came out. It's only 4 episodes long. I think the brother doing the restoration work seriously screwed up the Olds wagon. Without talking to the customer, I would NOT have gone the LS route with the rebuild. I would have built a beefer Olds motor. Also, why the hell didn't he talk to his customer to clarify his wishes for the car? Dumb and costly mistake in you ask me.

I hope like hell you don't remember much about Oktoberfest!! According to my dad, who was also there once during Oktoberfest, the average German consumed 3-4 liters of beer a day during the celebration! Damn. So if you have no recollection of what happened, good for you. You probably don't want to remember either. Scenery - greenery tomato - cannabis It's all the same, right?

Time to start buying used V6 Camaros for cheap and converting them. What concerns me is Trans Am World/Depot is advertising the Chevelle 70/SS but not their Trans Am. What is up with that? Are they done producing TAs? Their website seems very vague.

I can only imagine. What did you cross ? 14 time zones going east? I've only done 12 time zones. Detroit to Beijing in 2000. The thing that was harrd to remember since it is exactly 12 hours apart was if was it today or yesterday back home.

It looks like it belongs in the lobby of the Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola Fl. As you walk in it has 4 Douglas Skyraiders Blue Angels in Delta formation hanging from the ceiling.

Major league jet lag for sure!

I’m betting on either Mexico or Las Vegas,

Disney? Everyone goes to see the mouse!

Thanks- the same article was published in the GMC Times this month as well. I wonder what a blown 478 GMC V6 would look like in the Sunbird?
