Nah. That’s not it either. I just tested it by posting, then deleting.So for now, I’m no longer sure about “posts”Re: the centerpiece…. Roy, reach under your chair. If you find a piece of masking tape that says “winner”, you get the centerpiece!

OK, so I THOUGHT I knew the answerMy only guess…occasionally posts will get deleted, like in the registry, once a new member is recorded, we delete the extraneous posts..So maybe we get the points as we post. And they stay, even if a post is deleted?

BWAAA!

I almost hate to ask, but….if you click on a members name and then on “members profile” you are given a page that shows:  PMOSSBERG “Points 2100” and on the next line “Posts 2057”.   If points are posts, then what are posts?  …..or is this one of those “things that will be revealed………..”???

If the wires are the same color, put on a dab of your wife’s nail polish on the wire and where you took it off to match them up again. Use different colors for different wires of you have many of them.Coils are a funny thing. Like I said they can test OK as far as the resistance of the windings. but still fail when in use because of the heat. The…[Read more]

Sometimes you just gotta say “WTF”?How many of you counted the spokes? I know I did. Seems to me sixteen sets of three spokes is a total of 48!Maybe it’s that “modern math!

Well, if someone buys those thinking they are 60 spokes, I guess they’ll probably pay him a 20 percent premium on their own bid price too. It’s only fair.

So I, being a semi professional eBayer, in an effort to help with his listing, wrote to the guy listing these wheels:

  It is indeed a nice car and the front engined Classic Roadsters are pretty rare too. In the thread on wire wheels,it appears that they would cost about $2000. That gets the price down to a ”somewhat reasonable” figure if the car is as nice as the pictures show it to be. Besides ,the asking price is usually more than what it would take to…[Read more]

Info on the new gallery is in this thread:

ray10.  Realizing that you just paid a bunch of money for these new wheels, could you give us your opinions of them?  Can you tell who made them and where they were made?  They look like 100+/- spokes?  Roy

Bill, I get that also.  Just ignore it and go to the upper right and click on Photo Gallery.  Takes you right to it. 

Roy — I tried the old gallery site, but got only this error message:
