    the saying is "the bigger the boat - the smaller the willie"

    If you have to think about it . . .

    Ever notice how tall a guy is when he gets out of his Corvette? I used to have a MGB with a Corvette engine in it (fun car, if you could keep the wheels on the ground), so I guess that places me at odds with the typical stereotype. I had a 454 Chevy engine in an Opal GT too, so maybe stuffing really big things into small packages is my MO.

    Naaaa, give me an sloppy, well used, fairly ugly thing. You get a better time out of it, as they don't know how else to keep you, except to satisfy your every need.

    Posting pictures of your family members, isn't appropriate without their consent, is it . . . Give me a minute with a Dremel and I think I could make your sister in the top photo fairly acceptable . . . Lastly, there's only so much a paper bag can hide.

    You guys need to go over to SA.
    Par, not that I disbelieve, but lets see the the 454 Chevy in the Opal GT.
    I once replaced a fan belt in a hot (just got parked) Opal GT and I really have to call BS on this one.
    MGB with a Corvette engine might be possible with a big torch.

    Opal? I'm afraid that goes along with the locker room talk. But the banter was semi fun.
