I used to go insane with moves too...but then that was over
twenty years ago, and I am a hoo-hum now to moves, things
will be disconnected and packed and thats that...we move and
pickup where-ever or whatever is there ..well we just see
approach.
You know nothing really changes on packet. Same as the
2m repeater. I left this one repeater where the club
and it's members just talked computer and Internet and
very little radio, I guess only having it as a curiousity
conversation piece. After a long time, I went back to
listen ....yupppers !!!! Same old conversation.....

Oh I saw the dated Auto Show, and wondered if you had
made your own version of the Delorean? Maybe the "Warren"?
I want a flux capacitor for my car too , but I wouldn't
want to bomb like the next Back to the future, with the
end being a Steam locomotive.... poor Delorean...replaced
by a flying locomotive.

The heavy hatchback wasn't for the only the AMCs. Remember
FORD's japanese made and designed Mustang? That lemon had
struts that I oiled, and did everything to keep them operating
and still replaced them. When they gave out and the hatch
came down...well that was reason enough to tradein.

I have not seen anyone here that is interested in AMC, or
restoring them. Aaah the Nash Rambler, Metropolitian I
believe ...used by Clark Kent in the Superman show.
The classic also I liked, but we never had one. just the
AMC American in 1966. My father had the Ambassador before
1966 with vaccum windshield wipers...but the 327 V8 had a
real growl. As for the Impala...All the kids here wanted
the 63 Impala ... it was a crowd pleaser at the A&W drive in
and speaking of drive-ins...All AMCs were banned from the
movie drive-ins due to the front seat folding down to make
a bed ...or somethinglike that.

AMC folding seats ... I never had to worry about. Only
first one I ever saw was a 1959 or early 60s Rambler wagon
with standard shift on the column and Overdrive.
As for the CB flashback...NO I am not laughing over Tom Thum.

Most of'em up here are the same. Just a look and to stay
or leave is a quick decision.

Looks like an easy trip to the school nurse and being sent
home to recover after food poisoning.

Warren...you will not read this until sometime after the
"19th" as you say.. so thats that ...ttfn Pete VE3WBZ
PS: The problem at the Brick Yard...is that it isn't what it
used to be ... they only kept a small strip.
