Wow, what a coincidence, I love your car too. Looks a lot like mine did before I molested it.

 

Molestation is not a good thing. Just ask Roman Polanski.

 

Rain, open top, and it STILL didn't get wet inside!



Beaut car Ray!

 

A nice first gen, no doubt.

We'll convert you over the the FC side soon enough... You're already considering an SE and their fuel injected glory. Pretty soon you'll be wanting a nice T2

 

I love your car too


dont be jelous

 

as always, a beautiful sunbeam silver FB!!! what kind of mileage are you getting out of her?

 

The goats are jealous!

 

There's a lot there to love, Raymundo.

 

Thanks guys, it's just one of those things, I figured you guys might understand.

Stu, not much rain gets in when that moon roof is open as long as it's coming straight down. During windy storms I close it up, otherwise keeping it open is a good way to vent the car - it's gets hot in the afternoon down here in GA.

Dave the gas mileage is not as good as I want it, around 21 mpg on the highway. I'm trying to figure out why, I've pretty much ruled out vacuum leaks and now I'm taking a closer look at the Nikki, maybe take it apart this weekend to have a closer look.

Brett, in your dreams. 12A's rule.

Tim the goats are easily bought

Getting the goats drunk? Should I even ask how you got all those beads hanging from the rearview...

 

I paid for the beads Banzai, left over booty from when I was riding the floats down in New Orleans.

The Silver One looks great, for sure. But what I really like about her are the trouble free miles. She just doesn't complain.

Here's a pic from this evening:

 

Looking good as always ray!

 

21 MPG tops for me on the highway, 17 mpg city.... they definitely are not a Prius!!

 

Well yes, not a Prius, which gets about 10 mpg more. But, a Prius costs $20,000+. I got my silver 85 GSL, with 107,000 miles on it, for $1,200. That extra $18,000 buys a lot of gas, not to mention the breaks on taxes, insurance and maintenance costs.

And I get to drive my 12A powered Silver One, not some dumb boring Prius (and no issues with the brakes or accelerator peddle).

 

How many MPG does the goat get?

 

It gets 20 baaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh's per gallon!!!

 

We measure the goat's consumption in BPH's (Beers Per Hour)

 

At least they don't have to recycle the cans.

 

Yeah when I was first introducing Jackson (the big brown goat) to Coors Lite, he grabbed the pull tab and ate it after the drips ran out.

Needless to say I didn't tell my wife Cathy about this until much later (Cathy was opposed to the goats having beer at the time). Not sure what happened to that pull tab.

 

Looks nice ray, let us know what you find in the carb to increase the mileage. I'm at 20 highway as well.

Keep giving your goats beer and massage them daily. Selling Kobe Goats. who knows it could delicious.

 

I am really telling on my self now.... we used to pour beer in the dog's water bowl... he would lap it up and beg for more.... we were usually about 3 sheets into the wind by then and used to laugh our asses off when my Cocker Spaniel got drunk and was wobbling around!!!

That whole party came to an end when my wife found out we were getting her dog drunk!!!!...............wow that was a bad night!

 

She was most likely terrified 'cause she knew what comes after the "first, we get 'er drunk" phase...

 

Looking good Ray! Get that windshield trim painted! Rustoleum semi-gloss black is what you need for the job. You won't be sorry.

 

Looks good Ray. I don't understand why your not getting better fuel mileage. When I drove the SA down there with the Racing Beat intake, header, and 600cfm (YES I said 600), no emmisions, I was averaging almost 22 mpg.
