FiddyFour · 11-16-2006, 05:07 PM

oh man, that kicks ass

talk about a couple kids in a candy store, after closing with the keys

xxlv8 · 11-16-2006, 06:12 PM

LMAO! that's cool! What kind of fines could you have amassed if you were caught by the 5-0! :-) That red plastic gas cap itself should be a felony!

**NoSurf** · 11-16-2006, 06:25 PM

LMAO!!!

Some thoughts that go through my mind:

1. What the hell is this pansy ass drivin' durin' the DAY shit!?!!

2. That was a long drive- you about ran that quart tank dry bro!

3. You are a crazy mofo...

4. Woohoo KICK ASS!!!

**Cyclone Kevin** · 11-16-2006, 06:28 PM

Only someone who owns something like that can truly appreciate the ride! Lol! When I took my 27T-ster out for its 1st ride. It was @ El Mirage and the body wasn't even bolted down=lol! I think that it has 3 in there now. Brakes pulsate & are marginal & the fact the it doesn't have it's windsheild doesn't bother me a bit lol!
I will say that it is the most fun that I've had in one my cars.
I used to lend it to this kid named Steven for months @ a time.

I helped him eventually build something like it, but his wasn't as fun.
He did drive it from Pasadena to Balboa Island/Newport as a true 1st drive though=He soon lost interest & stayed with the VW Bug clique.

Drive ithe wood spokes off the one that you have!

**hotrodA** · 11-16-2006, 06:31 PM

And not a blue light the whole trip

"Pull that thing over to the curb! You inna heap o'trouble, boy!"

Flathead Youngin' · 11-16-2006, 08:27 PM

KutThrtKustms · 11-16-2006, 10:06 PM

now thats real "TRADITIONAL".....

**fab32** · 11-16-2006, 10:24 PM

I can relate. I bought a stone stock '26 T roadster this past summer. My wife and I have been terriorizing the back roads around here at the blistering rate of about 35 MPH. It's a whole new perspective, getting transported around at what seems like a fast walk. We went out to visit her friend when we first got it. Normally it's about a 15 minute drive. We arrived about an hour later and almost didn't get home before dark, not taking into account the time needed to get home.

**scootermcrad** · 11-16-2006, 11:15 PM

That looks like a BLAST! I've watched the video twice!! I bet that freaked a few non-car people out seen that thing runnin' down the road! Nice work recovering that...
