Not sure if you’ve seen these cool shirts that celebrate our love of the manual transmission. I love them. No affiliation. My three daughters have been taught the Jedi skill.
The least I can do is buy them these shirts today. Got 15% off plus when you buy three you get free shipping lol but true. I probably should buy my mom one too. She always wants to drive Lilly‘s 914. My brother and I rode dirt bikes for a short time so we were pretty familiar with a clutch and timing. When Dad taught us to drive stick shift I was about 12 and my brother was about 14. He took us to the Rio Hondo JC parking lot in our 1972 Pinto runabout— brought himself a six pack of beer and let us go to town lol but true. |

@914xr75 ** Rio Hondo in the summer time is a dry river bed and when my biz was in So. El Monte, we took the 3.2L Syncro Vanagon down in there (approx where the RC planes fly) for pics / magazine articles. Both 'VW & Porsche and 'Hot VWs did stories on the van. Today the Whittier Narrows park ranger would lock us up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

@malltese falcon Back in 1976 I used to fly my foam .049 engined rc plane over your photo shoot. I probably didn’t spoil your shoot, I would usually crash down to earth a few seconds after takeoff. Lol.
