What a satisfying New Year's Eve.  Today I was at our local Tractor Supply Store.  Next door is a high performance engine shop, complete with dyno.  They specialize in our least favorite engines.  While I was in the store they were warming up an engine with open headers.  When I got to my car, they were starting a dyno pull.  RPM got higher, higher, higher, then BANG!! and silence.  I chuckled to myself as I pulled out of the parking lot.  Happy New Year to all!

Hey,I just realised that this is in the "Classifieds" section.

John are you selling scrub shrapnel as paper weights ?

Cant think of a better use for that junk.

Yeah, I just realized it is in the wrong section.  I intended for it to be in This-n-That.  Must be Oldtimers.  I don't know how to move it, maybe Ted can help.  He's moved posts before.

Great story, John.  A fitting end to one of the most over-rated engines in history.  Thanks for sharing it with us.  Happy New Year, Nick Brann - K.C., MO

Hey Bill,  Thanks for the "blood donation" story.  That's a good one.  I too am grateful for this site, and the contributors.  I've learned a lot and it helped me when I was building my 312. 

You guys down under are really fun to read about.  Hope I get to meet you one of these days.  Happy New Year, Nick Brann - K.C., MO
