Curious thread. But apparently...your it! :lol:

From as much as I can surmise...I'm glad to see that you made it through the K-T boundry. There are no fossilized pigs from that time so, you've moved onwards and upwards a great deal...no small feat for a semi literate dinosaur. And given the PTS of surviving the extinction- your being a luddite is well, understandable. ;)

From your comments Eric, you get the jist just fine. I don't know, most threads are well, dry. Thought I'd liven it up. Over amused by those (Pighesd, you know who you are) who are willing to play wit language for funs. Good place to insert comments bout you Eric. Your avatar is well, a shining SHIELD of INVINCIBILITY, crafted from the forge of a childs mind, umbued with magic no dragon of lore could defeat.
 
You know what though?

Low tech will get you to the trail and home, and when something breaks, chances are you can fix it. And likely as not, you won't need an engineering degree to do so.

As a backup, I usually bring my engineer spouse along with me...

:D

Ok, so engineering is off limits here. :)

I'm sorta a pre literate dinosaur myself. I like technology fine...it's how it is applied and by whom. The Darwin Award winner who strapped a Jado booster to his car would be bad use. The car around here with a Duct tape welded rear end (he must have stolen that tape...it's more expensive than a little work) would be bad. But, for example, typing here is cool. Certainly it is not a panacea...and when it is used that way it is likely to be a cluster (arable land for fuel?- that would be what massive waste for a drop? ). The enviormental controls in my cruisers could definately benifit from some advanced technology--AC.

Humor, I always like. It will get you through the whole damn mess and entertain you as well. 'Ceptin if'n you push the wrong buttons a lil too much. :whoops: Been known to do that have I.

Dude-an overhead cam in a 55!

That's good and I'll have to steal the joke at a future date.
 
Dude,
You could probably figure out how to put dual overhead cams in a 60...

Hmm... So would you have both driver and passenger have an "overhead cam" or would the driver have 2?

3 OR MORE OF YOU GUYS!!!! Knew it along along! A conspiracy! Didn't think it was the other, not that there is anything wrong with that. Cam tech...one for everyone. Potentially a quad cam. Old school solution. These days they need them hy fallutin computers that knows to shut off cylinders and such. All joking aside, had a lokk at your suspension? Look familiar? Remember when you were a kid and went to the old West Museum?.....Cone...coming back to you yet?..Stoga....OH ya! Now you remember, Conestoga Wagon Company. The brakes, yep, those too. Bet toyota had to license from CWC. The steering on the other hand, they were free and clear on that. After all the Roman empire is no more so those patents have to be expired.

I'll leave that design to more qualified individuals...I was thinking 2 camshafts, joined end-to-end, with each end attached to a head...

Would you have to re-torque the gasket?
 
Oh, go Torque yourself, Surfpig....
No, really, could someone please spell out to the learning-disadvantaged what the hell is going on in this thread?

" rsbcruiser Hell NO! Serious tech talk, a springboard ONLY for the intellectual and practical discusion of the age old question, "Shall I usher myself and my conveyance into the 20th century?". You messin with me there Hombre? Notice, no more red shirt! And, this here is 55 land, we don't have to be 40 tech stodgy round these parts. And Surfpig, what IS TUT anyways? I'm totally serial dude."

Me, too, dude. Totally serial. WTF? You must have some kick-ass chit up in yer neck of the woods, 'cause even in my best translator mode I don't pick up what yer puttin' down.


" Ok now, you know who you are so call me out."

I think I'm being made jest of here. Just because I happen to embrace the olde ways. Back when a LandCruiser was a LandCruiser...and not a second-rate Lexus.
Back in the waning days of the last iceage when you could get Pig wind-wing glass rubber at the dealership...
Dude, (not you Nial, I was just using you as a segue into asking WTF rsb was doing, sorry for the "Torque you") I am one of the old guard. what did you expect? I was Knighted years ago. By the FK himself. and I HAVE updated my Pig. I've got the new-fangled 2F block under my original head... therefore belying the argument that I don't welcome change. You cur. Why, I have a laser beam in my Pig. A LASER BEAM. Don't be thinking I can't embrace new technology. I got me a LASER BEAM in my Pig. So there. I am with it, dude.
(oh, wait. did somebody say CDs are dead? zounds.)
Dude, I used to have a sigline..."Defender of the F(aith)" cause I knew I'd never abandon that (late)F.
Times change. I still got that late F block, it's in the garage.
Do I know you dude? have we wheeled together and I forgot? And now you think I'm funny? funny in what way...HaHa funny?
 
Yeah, I think I'd need 2 or 3 of those funny cookies to figure this one out...

:idea:
 
That reminds me, my laser broke.

:frown:
 
" 'cause even in my best translator mode I don't pick up what yer puttin' down. " Pighead said that

rsbcruiser says: "liar, liar, liar, pants on fire"


" I was Knighted years ago. By the FK himself. and I HAVE updated my Pig. I've got the new-fangled 2F block under my original head... therefore belying the argument that I don't welcome change." Pighead said that too!

rsbcruiser: "Ok guys, you have to admit, he is kinda full of himself, hu? Hey Pighead, we have something in common! A f head over a 2f block, but mines a 74 f head! OOOOO, don't go thinking you can add me to your christmas card list or nuttin because of this, Pighead."

"You cur. Why, I have a laser beam in my Pig. A LASER BEAM. Don't be thinking I can't embrace new technology. I got me a LASER BEAM in my Pig. " Also, yep you guessed it, Pighead

rsbcruiser: "WELL MY PIG has aborteed TWO of those laser beam sportin gadgets! just cause we are talkin laser beams.....put that christmass list away!"

"And now you think I'm funny? funny in what way...HaHa funny?" Ok, now Pighead is just knocking off an excellent actor, in one of his better roles, so don't go thinking he is witty or something.

rsbcruiser: "Ya what the narrator said!" "I also have an electric choke! worse even. a petronix ignition. That is it though, Forgive O great protector! Ok secret is..........Rubicon..........I hate you!"
