Desertguy49: <<<<<Just put this 357 bored40 over in my 58 Chevy pickup, but it's for 4 wheeling, not racing...


The picture is too small for my eyes.

357 you say.

I'm not familiar with that motor.
I had the 283 I mentioned , and later, a 265, and a 396, (in different cars).

The 396 (with 2 quadrajet carburetors was in an El Camino Pickup.

Most of the time I just used one carburetor and I put in a screw had to limit the opening of the secondaries.

Otherwise it drank way too much gasoline.

For me it was more farm pickup than hotrod.
But it could get up and go when I wanted it to.

I didn't keep it long. I replaced it with an International Harvester half-ton pickup with a slant-4 that was more suited to my needs.

Jamess1974: no thank god...its not fair cuz i was street racing at 3.00am the roads were empty


I don't know about Dublin, but in the US street racing at any hour is illegal and dangerous. So whatever fine you were given, it's severity is done to discourage it from happening again and to impart a valuable lesson...sorry, I've lost to many friends to car accidents to really give you the answer you're looking for. You do the crime you to the time, face the consequences.

Of course it's fair.

You're just pissed because you got caught this one time.

Even hitting a small animal crossing your path at that speed could have killed you.

Luxembourggirl: You must have a very sad life. Does all this BS come naturally to you, or do you really have to think hard about it?


Well actually. I grew up in a country whose economy has traditionally been based on the War-Boom-Bust cycle.

You in Luxembourg wouldn't have any concept of that cycle.
Your government doesn't consider war to be a standard tool for controlling the economy.
Lucky you.

I don't have the time or will to teach you about such things but I would suggest that you start with the Report From Iron Mountain that details the various functions of war in society.

Of course you will consider that a conspiracy theory too.
So it's a dead end.

Delusion is more believable than fact for those already deluded.

The only place you can get them is original Merc <benz workshops. And it would cost more than the car is worth if you can get them at all. Those on sale these days are only for Model cars.

Thanks for your info, but for the nth time on this site, I am not from Luxembourg. However as previously mentioned, you have a conspiracy theory about everything on this planet and an awful lot off it also. It becomes a mite wearying at times.

Thank you I lost one that was hit by a car and my cousin and his wife had a daughter that was killed instantly by a crazy teenaged driver hitting the back of their car, sending her body hurling through the front windshield, she never stood a chance.

Sorry, but I've got no sympathy for speed demons and think when caught, the punishment should be intense, severe and harsh.very mad

Anyway as far as i know there is only one motorway in Ireland anyway. and it sure as hell wasnt long enough to wind a car upto 300 klicks. So you must have had a scalextric car and scaled up the speed.

Well according to EU law, as he was driving a vehicle with illegal mods, he didnt have mot or insurance. so maybe the licence is now in severe danger.

O living in Luxemburg now does not mean she grew up there or is from Luxemburg.

I live in Toronto, Canada now but I have only lived here 6 years total, and even that not all the time or continuous 6 years.
I have lived in the US longer, know the US better than Canada, even though I am not a US citizen, I am a Canadian citizen.
