purity of the ride - nklr

[gtx]

Hi Chuck, I think most kids nowadays dont know one end of a spanner from another,but they have degrees in installing the most apocaliptic bass boombox stereo systems,heck some of them are louder than Motorhead in concert,and one lives across the road from me,unfortunately. Still i was young once,and i used to laugh at my parents when they used to say,how do you listen to that rubbish [AC-DC,Led zepplin,Floyd,etc,] . But this guy likes Rap ,aaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh! Regards Gary

No split screen. I don't remember if Kojak used one, he was a 70's dude anyway. There _was_ a music video from some band called "Sir Mix-a-lot", some song "My Boopty" (about a car) that I recall featured a 70 Electra (which were pretty similar to the 69, apart from a 455 and more pollution gear). Mister_T Sometime tank driver and Volvo-hunter. 2 tons, 7 litres and 18-and-3/4 feet was all that most people needed to know.

Probably not. They get exhaust shops to install the coffee-can farting exhausts and audio shops to install the booming sound systems, too. RM
