Being an American I have been raised with a love of roaring high horse power muscle cars. It's our culture. I love the smell of burning gasoline. I know odd love.
That said I test drove a Tesla roadster at the Santa Monica dealership a week ago. It's funny, it leaves you speechless. I had a silly grin on my face, and was giddy the whole time. Now the petrol lover in me has to say 125 mph limited top end does nothing to impress me, but the out of the hole torque is fucking impressive. It's instantaneous. Not only that but that same torque is available no matter what speed your at. It handles like a fucking go cart. You you turn the wheel and it snaps around the corner. Yes SNAPS. The acceleration violently throws you into the seat back. The guy with me encouraged me to leave a number of the many expensive sports cars in the area in the dust. I am sure they were pissed off by it. My only thoughts on the limited top end is this, I would never get near the 125mph top end in LA traffic, and if I did I would be trailed by news, and police helicopters. Film at 11pm...
The only sound is the whirring of the engine. You can actually hear your tires! My next car is electric. Fuck the petrol industry. -

I found the seatpost on ebay for 58.usd. it was a little rough, but I fixed it up for a date with a sander, then buffed and polished the hell out of it.


It is gleaming on my bike right now. Looks better than new.I have some hens teeth, if anyones still in need of them.
Oh and composted hobby horse manure...

lovely stuff ! I really like TR6's and I'm not normally a Triumph man. Nothing beats driving a classic british sports car on decent roads in decent weather !
True! I had a 78 MGB that is sorely missed. I loved driving it through Napa, and Sonoma in spring. Wine, and picnics all day.
Good times.I traded it in on my 66 caddie convertible though. And that car was, and still is a love affair.

Sometimes...but not always. Im still crapping my pants every time I think about this one:
I can't really see them all that well. What was the story on those?
You know if someone pays for them, and waits by the the door in breathless anticipation of the mail... Who am I to say that their valuation is wrong?If they paid it and love them??
People for the most part are fucking crazy anyway.

How long do you guys normally give people to either pay for their item or a least contact you with regards to .... well anything really regarding the sale.
I sold something yesterday and have not heard a single thing from him, i have only done around 90 sales/buys on ebay and everyone was either insant payment or at the least some form of insant contact. Am i being a bit hasty.I always insist on immediate payment in my terms. People are flakey!

You know I get it, but a fair price is often what a buyer will pay. Have you seen the prices of C Record Seatposts?!! I sold an aero on ebay, and made out very well. One buyer wrote me and said "I paid a little higher price for a NOS, but it was in the box!!" So, my reply was "What did you do with the box?" He didn't reply.

My Pinarello will be so happy! I'll repaint the pantographs, and buff it till it gleems.

I just found out that you could help out a great fixed gear site.
If all we all wanted to help with one pound, dollar, euro, per month it would make it unnessesary to commerciallize this wonderful site.
For those of you that spend your lives on here, that's not bad rent.
Less than the price of a beer!!
What a deal!
Certainly even the slacker class could afford the price of a can of Coke once a month.
I'm in!
