Hey 67,

Be careful around that lake, we don't want your rumblings to cause something like this.

- Eric

 

[BarryK]

you must be so excited!


you HAVE to have video WITH sound from the very beginning of turning the key to hearing that sweet baby roar.

 

[paul67]

All the best for a successful launch! And I hope you get some road time this year. My winter storage company called yesterday to confirm my 2004-2005 contract!! Pretty short summer in Canada.

Bob I wish you the best of luck.Mac you should feel honored to be the luckey guy who gets to start it.

So once again Bob how long has it actually been since you were behind the wheel of this car and it was moving under its own power? Talk about a love affair with a car,When you think about it its absolutely increadable That you own it this long.The only other fellow I know who owns a car this long is wally knoch.I think I actually seen in wallys garage his original teenage car.Best of luck and I really have been waiting along time to read your post on your fisrt drive or see the picture of your first place trophy when you finally get it to a car show .But I guess the BIG question is

What are you going to do will all of your extra time now thats the project is nearing completion.

I can tell you personally you end up starting a new project

 

[midyear]

may you have no unanticipated problems

 

[bossvette]

just returned from getting a little "funny money" for the trip, It will be cool hearing that 502 rumble. I'll try to remember to throw some earplugs in the car for the feint of heart. :L

 

[Mac]

I think I'd better wear a bib to avoid getting slobber on the fenders.

[Paranoid]

Wish you luck. Hope you have better luck than I did.

 

[KOPBET]

I would make sure you have an extra handcuff key on hand in case Mac decides to "attach" himself to the steering wheel... :cool

Bob,

Best of luck with the launch. That was good thinking to bring a police officer along for an escort and crowd control.

wouldn't make a difference. If he is already at the wheel than his hand is only a few inches from the gearshift.....
uh oh, i can already see Mac depressing that clutch petal now.

BOB: ah, Mac, what are you doing? why are you pushing in the clutch?

MAC: me? I'm not doing anything Bob ( as the clutch petal is now firmly to the floor and Mac moves the gearshift into 1st.) I'm just sitting here listening to that motor sound sweet. haha

BOB: Mac, let go of the emergency brake handle, she is starting to roll a little!

ROAR, ROAR, VAROOOOOOMMM........sound of tires squealing and Mac keeps the right petal to the floor as he shifts thru all the gears going down the street) hearing Mac laughing hysterically and in pure possesed pleasure..............

BOB: Macccccc, come baccccccck!!!! that's not fair damnit, it's MY car!! I was suppose to take it for the first drive, you were only suppose to start it!

scene ends with Bob standing there, screwdriver in hand, dumbfounded, in his empty driveway as the sounds of the sidepipes on 67Heaven are getting pregressively smaller the further away Mac gets.
Bob considers call the police only to realize that it WAS the police that just kidnapped 67Heaven.

Oh, poor Bob. how will this story end? Will Mac return 67 Heaven, does Bob get to see his beautiful project returned to him or are more sinister plots afoot? well, you loyal viewers you will just have to tune in again to the next segment of the continuing saga of 67Heaven to find out.

Same Vette time, Same Vette place, same vette channel!

 

[67HEAVEN]

Thanks Barry. So much for sleeping tonight. :eek

 

[MsSchroder]

I'll be looking forward to hearing a sound clip of the roaring motor, screaming tires, Bob wailing and sobbing as his prize vanishes into the distance...

 

[67HEAVEN]

So once again Bob how long has it actually been since you were behind the wheel of this car and it was moving under its own power?

It'll soon be 20 years. For those of you unfamiliar with the story, I parked the car and faced several other priorities that took my attention away for a number of years.....divorce, re-marriage, child, home purchase, new business.

Funny how life gets in the way.

My son got me going again, wanting to know what was up with that car he'd never heard running. "Hmmmmm," I thought.

The rest is history.

Gee, what'll we do if Mac turns the key and it goes 'click'? :crazy

 

[BarryK]

Thanks Barry. So much for sleeping tonight. :eek

sorry Bob, I just couldn't resist!


seriously, all the very best of luck tomorrow, after all these years it's going to be an awesome moment i know. I wish I could be there.

 

[bossvette]

Gee, what'll we do if Mac turns the key and it goes 'click'? :crazy

there should be enough hands for a push start :L

Barrys story had me laughing as I Imagined Mac in his red mountie suite grinning from ear to ear as he burns off 500 miles of tread in the first 50 ft.
