welcome to our new member # 409 Middleton,Joe------a_j_middleton@hotmail.com----------London, England 1945? TC unk chassis and engine numbers who writes: I'm trying to research the history of the car, hence joining a site like the T-ABC list! 1945 was the best guess from the guy who sold me the car, and unfortunately the engine number is gone, and I haven't successfully located the chassis number yet(v filthy etc.). Hope you can add me in, and one day I'll have a pristine car to add to the photo gallery! ===and #410 Blanton, Jim --------toad.hill@verizon.net-------------Denton, TX, USA 1948 TC 5022 who writes: we own and have for 15 or 20 years TC 5022....dont have engine number handy but it matches car....ie correct engine....car is red....about to be repainted.....for some reason someone in the past had painted it black....interior is red....have been trying to sort out proper color on engine which is now the red color used and whether firewall (bulkhead) should be the gray to grayish green or red....seems much confusion on this from what books I have which must be everything you can buy on the T cars ....one thing that makes me think it may have been gray green is that inside of battery cover is gray green while rest is red and looks pretty much as it has never been repainted. We bought the car out of St Louis around 1985 where a bank had had it in storage for several years....the last time it had been titled when we got it was 1971...it had been in dry storage and did not and does not have a speck of rust in it and the tub wood is still solid as a rock....and I have restored two TFs that were pretty rotted out. Also still have the two TFs ===and a question If you're in a vehicle going the speed of light, what happens when you turn on the headlights? Jim Shade West Covina CA Your use of Yahoo!

To all, With all these threads about the speed of light, isn't there a relationship between the speed of light and time? All I know is when I'm in the TC driving down the road, I feel like it is my time machine. I can almost feel time slow down to an enjoyable pace and feel like I'm back in a simpler world. My small contribution...Ben Cordsen, TC 4260

And I don' feel like I have to drive 80+ to keep up with traffic. So what if everybody passes me. They all smile and wave. I still feel something in common with Snoopy, every time he fires up his Sopwith to do battle with the Red baron when I start the TC. The 67 Midget has a nice snarl and almost angry exhaust note, but the TC putters along, and low revs, and with classic vigor and higher RPMs. Well said below. PTH
