We are trained in the fine art of catnipping.
Did he say katnippink?
No, he meant catnapping.
No, not napping, catnapping.
Just don't look up.

Dude, like, that was like, righteous.
Got any more Canadian? This one is like, done.
If not I'll go with Miller lite.

You guys have some killer cats. I just hope PETA doesn't spot this thread.

Ordinarily, this would be a friendly gesture to acknowledge one so obviously skilled in the arts of racing, performance mods, and possibly world of warcraft.
However, getting pwn3d by a Datsun driven by a fearless Ozlander?
Clearly this is not acceptable. Even if you are 3 grades ahead of us.

When I'm finished with Marching Band practice I'm goin' to strap some planks across my cousins flat bottom aluminium fishin' boat for the Datsun to sit on. Then I'll be ready to come over there and race you guys.

My cousin Darrel says that I'll only need a 40 gallon drum, as the two-stroke outboard is very frugal. So as long as I take a spare spark plug he reckons it should only take me a couple of days .....and Darrel should know 'cos he finished High School. And it only took him two extra years.

And when I get there I'll be even faster than before with my new airo-di-namit package for the 'Y'. I'm taking out the front and rear windows and strappin' an old door across the seat tops for me to lie down on while drivin' so's I'm real slick to the wind. And I'm making hand controls for the brake and accelerator. I won't need to for the clutch 'cos I'm goin' to be slammin' it through the gears with racing gear changes.

And this time I'm not making the hand controls from sticks, 'cos they can break in the heat of the moment like last time. No I've cleverly raised the back of the hood so there's a gap a can pull the hay twine through. With a hole drilled in the fire wall behind the brake and accelerator I'm connectin' the twine to them and back through those holes, and up the firewall and out the rear hood gap and through the open front windscreen so's all I have to do is pull on them now. That's how clever I am. Darren says you would never have thought of doin' that.

So when I get there, I'll be flyin'. Just one question, are you guys east or west of OZland? 'cos I can read a compass, I have one in my shoe.

Pristine examples of this car are worth upwards of 400 bucks, and the price will only escalate from there. In a hundred years this car could top 2000 dollars! At that point, you will look back wistfully at what might have been. If you insist on ruining it though, here is a link on how to do it correctly.

While it does appear that you do indeed possess some amount of expertise in cutting edge vehicular modifications, I'm afraid a lot of it is basic stuff that I pioneered years ago. I've also kept "moving forward". You don't actually need to back the brakes off, just dose them real good with WD-40 or an equivalent lube before each race. Also, speaking of unsprung weight, if you remove all the springs then you completely eliminate it. The result is go kart like handling (and ride, unfortunately), but that shouldn't be a problem on a pure racing machine. Just remember to bolt some wooden blocks in to replace the springs unless you're going ultra low on the ride height.

I hate to tell you this, but tack welding the wheels on just isn't practical. It gets to be a royal pain flipping the car onto it's top every time you have to fix a flat. For safety and convenience, always run at least one lug nut. Just make sure it's really tight so it will hold as good as four.

The rest of your modifications seem pretty sound to me, except that if you did beat me, my high tech car doesn't have a carb. Since yours is pre-computer you would have to buy a laptop in order to make the injectors squirt when you want them to. While this may sound easy, believe me, it's not. Far better to stick with the carb and just drill out all the holes you can find, so they will flow more gasoline.

My superior technical verbosity should also remove all lingering doubt as to the complete lack of wisdom required to actually contemplate that it would be anything other than dangerously foolhardy folly to engage me in a contest that consists of comparing vehicular acceleration rates over a measured distance and/or time period for the purpose of ascertaining the victorious vehicle/driver combination in order to verify who owes whom what. In short, do you really want to race me with money on the line?

You speaks a lot. I get confused sometimes 'cos Uncle Roy says that when I reads I'm Dis-likes-it. But I would like it if I understood all the words.

So Mr Speaks-A-Lot, ha ha, I just gave you a nickname. So do you know a lot a words or do you just talk the one's you know over and over? And I don't modify vehiculars, whatever they are, I modify cars.

And just so you know, I already thought of what to do when I want to change tires. I can untack the spot welds on the wheels 'cos I keep my angle grinder on the floor in the back seat. Ha, so there.... and no heavy lug nuts at all to weigh me or the 'Y' down.

And those fancy injectors of yours, when I win your pink slip I won't need no fancy computator. I'll just tape them all together with duct tape and mount them above the carbie intake in a fencing wire frame. That way most of the fuel will squirt into the carbie. And because the fuel mixes with the air BEFORE it even goes into the carbie, it will make more power as the air spins as it's sucked down the hole and produces what they call a strategy charge. Although I'll have to point them slightly different I think in America to here in OZland 'cos the air will swirl down the hole in the opposite direction. See just how thinkin' I am about everything!!

And I'll get them injectors squirtin' without no computator. I'll just put a live wire to them via the four bladed metal fan on the engine. I'll strip the end of the wire and tape it to the radiator so's every time a fan blade swings past it will earth through the fan, completin' a circuit and making them squirt four times a revolution of the engine, which is perfect for a four cylinder engine.

So you just keep on talkin' yer fancy lots a words, I'm always thinkin', not talkin'. And the girl like that too. Cos the girls in the Marching Band are always sayin' how they like it when I shut up.

Anyway, gotta go now. My cousin is comin' over with a map of the Mediterranean Sea so I can learn how to navigate to America.

This is absolutely halarious. Literally one of the funniest things I have every read in my entire life. (Sorry, Larry the Cable Guy wrote a book and it is freakin awsome, definately the funniest thing I have read, ever). Keep it up. I'm a fan.

I have an almost infinite amount of words available in my telencephalon with which to wage cerebral battle with adversaries deemed worthy of competing with me on an intellectual basis. Although you pretend otherwise, you sir, may indeed meet those lofty requirements. Time will indeed tell.

I never underestimate an opponent's mental magnificence. However, I also possess intimidating skills in the physical realm. My mechanical aptitude is only surpassed by my overwhelming desire to pontificate on said expertise. The gauntlet has been laid down, so I eagerly anticipate your arrival on these shores so I may proceed to annihilate your hopes and dreams of dominating my Korean Mechanical Wonder.

Have a safe trip.

Thank you, very much. This thread has lost all touch with reality, so I'm going to have to concede that it is successful.

You may also enjoy some of Major Hoople's commentaries if I can convince him to take time out of his busy schedule and do a few guest spots.

You seem to arrogate an adumbration that I may actually speak magniloquently. Perhaps tis a hypostatisation or perfunctory complexité et la cérébralisation of your wishful quest for a worthy duplicitous nemesis to chivvy.

But you're dead wrong mate. I ain’t the person you think. We’s just simple folk over here who get confused by your talk-a-lot words and such. Ain’t no never minds about schoolin’ an' the like. But me and the ‘Y’ will beat your mechanical wonder from Chosen. Damn straight.

Expect me on the spring tide.
