If we are on the same page. Good movie.
Line I liked from a Springstein song of the same title ... interesting lyrics floating past. Something like .... "Its a long walk from your front porch to my front seat."
Perhaps someone out there is familiar with that? twigsnapper
The stocastic analysis of "Chaos" is exactly what it's all about folks. Like I said; One person's total chaos can also be some other person's perfect order!"Ride designers have been fairly adept at finding chaos without appreciating the mathematics underpinning what they’re doing," Kautz notes.
You getting slightly dyslexic there, old man? I think movie "Thunder Road" was released in 1958, not 1985.Mikado14 wrote:Thunderoad.....1985Trickfox wrote:What's a "Tilt A Whirl car"?

Worth reading the Wikipedia entry on "Tilt A Whirl":Trickfox wrote:I 'm turning over the Twirl-a-whirl ride control back to you Paul.
I need it to, believe me. It does not serve my process at all to go as many days as I have these past two weeks without getting into the material. Takes me a while to ramp up again, ya know? But I got the process started again this morning so, I'm sure there's another chapter down this next corridor in the rabbit hole.We need that next chapter bad!!!

Perhaps our friend Mikado is talking stock car races ... 1985 ?
Perhaps a Tilt A Whirl there? A nearby Carnival perhaps?
Yes, Springstein on one side from N.J. .... Buffetts experiences in Nashville and friends at Compass Point on the other Much already in common already! However, sitting down with Buffett might be alot safer than trying to fly with him! <g> (in all good humor, any thing you walk away from they say ........) twigsnapper
Actually, the Formula Vee was built from a VW using the front steering and Suspension and the rear transaxle and engine, the ring was reversed and allowed the engine to be mid mounted. You rode with you butt about 6" off the ground over a "buck".....to do that again.Martin Calloway wrote: Ya gotta watch those antique sportscar, bug in their teeth racers too.
Know the plane, it sat at Pottstown for awhile.... I would have given my eye teeth for that. I think it was an F4U or an early Corsair. Its gone now and has been for quite some time. Almost bought the B-25 that was used as the camera ship in the movie "Battle of Britain". I believe that was back in '74 or so and it might have been at Willingboro in Jersey? not sure of the name.Martin Calloway wrote: Its good company we are keeping though and interesting with discussions of sportscars and Tilt A Whirls and well, if I had gotten involved we would have talked about air races and sleek machines cooling on tarmacks and that would have led to the story passed around about how Jackie Cochran got so upset with Martin Decker for buying a good racer and then letting it sit in a weed filled pasture that she kicked him out of a party she had at her penthouse in New York City.
I see the flock must be talking or was there perhaps a QB meeting? If you land at Pottsown/Limerick (No, not Ireland), give me a shout.Martin Calloway wrote: And I got the pictures too. Both thank you. Martin
