Yep, I played UT 2004 on my iMac...

I miss that game, the online modded servers where sooo fun.

I remember the Command and Conquer themes or the Trials...I loved the trial games.

Well,I have been restoring a classic car for the last 4 years, R-BADD7 stands for Rons Bad 67 Firebird, If you see a 1967 Firebird with R-BADD7 on the license plate say hi, If you are in a Mustang please dont get on my six and open fire lol!!!

[bobbysocks]

now if you had a 389 tri power set up or a 650 cfm holley double pumper straddling an edelbrock manifold ( polished of course) under the hood... with a double roller timing chain, a nice crane cam with solid lifters, headers, glass packs, and a dual point accel distributor and throw in a hurst shifter (T handle...anything else is an abomination) , and posi-traction rear end....chrome reverse rims and some slicks, that my man would be sharp and kick serious @$$!! ...( oh and if you want to be serious 60s... you need the chrome feet covers for gas pedal and dimer switch ..Mr. Gasket brand.) no seriously....good luck on that project. those were awesome sleds.

[R-BADD7]

Chrome feet HeHe, actually running 1994 Corvette LT1 drive train, approx 350 hp, fuel injected with hot cam & vintage flowmaster mufflers, sounds like a early muscle carbed beast, only difference is i can pass gas stations too!!! 22mpg, highway. some enthusiasts dont like restomod but I love it. If I wanted too I could rebuild the original 326 but the way this car runs...why do it? anyway, great thread with interesting people and interesting stuff.

[bobbysocks]

those are cool mods! ought to scream like a rapped ape! i hardly ever make things 100% OEM...i mod them to the way i like. BUT keep that 326 and if you can find OEM accessories...intakes, etc scarf them up. that will be worth some mad cash one of these days.

[R-BADD7]

It also gives peace of mind knowing I can old school it again, old pontiac stuff hard to find though!

[bobbysocks]

let me know what you need......if and when you do. i grew up in the auto parts biz. and still have a lot of connections to hard to find things.

[R-BADD7]

AWESOME!!! Thanks bro

one of my favorite movies of WWII planes and squadrons, what I really like about them is their battlefield march song:
"contact joystick back
sailing through the blue
brown men tried and true
We are heroes of the night
the Hell with Axis might
fight fight fight fight
fighting 99th

Rat Tat, Rat Tat Tat
down in flames they go
fighting men of the 99th
send them down below
for we are heores of the night
the Hell with Axis might
fight fight fight fight
fighting 99th..."
As a matter of fact, I just recently purchased a RC foam ultramicro p51 D and modified it to a p51B and named it "Inna the macon Belle" in the memory of the first African American Ace Lt Lee Archer 1 of the gruesom twosome fighters of the 332nd fighter group. Cant remember which class from Tuskegee but i'm sure he wasn't from the first 6 classes that formed the 99th fighter group commanded by Benjaming O. Davis Jr.

there are some new members to the forum so I thought I would revive bobbysocks old thread.
