While I enjoy the S year-round, other pursuits are basically divided between good weather and poor weather.

If poor weather, I have a moderated version of kpc06bb's interest. I like to be immersed in music I enjoy, whether music alone or a movie's soundtrack, reproduced very cleanly.

If good weather and nearly a whole day's worth of time happen to coincide ... my water-borne, wind-powered pocket rocket, a Windrider Rave hydrofoiling trimaran. Two example videos (the second is older, from VHS apparently, and starts out with about 10 seconds of black/silence) of the same kind of boat:

Is that a French Model 1866 "Chassepot" Bayonet or one of the slightly later versions? Matching numbers? Do you have a needle gun as well?
It is an 1877. Not sure if the numbers are matching (I'll check when I get out of work) and don't have the needle gun.

Believe it or not, I used to beat the crap out of this guy in Mortal Combat back when I was living in Seattle. And he totally sucked at it. Every time I delivered "Fatality" on him, he'd just go berserk and start screaming and go into tamper tantrum! SCAArrryyy!!! One day I flipped on TV and saw him being hosed on by firefighters and the guy was trying to block the water with his Samurai sword!

If you ever have the chance to add the Bayonet to the Chassepot Needle Gun do it. Either one alone looks great but the two together are amazing.

Man, everyone into a little bit of everything here. I guess I'm oddball being that all I do is cars. I slang parts for a living here at VR, go home and currently I'm going body and paint on a guys 64 Ford F100. Slowly chipping away at my own 64 F100, have a 63 VW and a 59 Euro VW on the back burner.

Oh yeah, I save old cars.

This I found wasting away in a back yard in central Phoenix. Last registered in 1976. Got the Y block running, put about 7 inches of drop on it, pinstriped and I was on my way.


Found this in a back yard in Gilbert. Last registered in CA in 83. Resealed the trans, rebuild a few little things on it, lowered, Side piped with flame thowers, put on some WWW's, striped it, and daily drove it for about a year.

Is that a 56 Buick Special?

We've got a 46 Chevy resto-mod.
