What I Did on My Lunch Hour

Apparently you have already forgotten that IT WAS SARCASM. I'll explain. I was just trying to poke fun at the way you constantly stuck up for BD and the insults you hurled at the BD critics. In the future, I will try and use a style of humor that is less sophisticated.

I know a narcissist such as yourself will find this hard to believe, but I don't care where you get your garage doors. If that knowledge is painful, just imagine it isn't true.

Hey, I think I just figured out why your tag line is so appealing to you.

Wow, Again with the BIG words... Too bad you don't know how to use them correctly. If you sucking up to Lowe's was (as you stated) sarcasm, it was very well disguised in your rant. Further, I never hurled insults at any of Bob Drake's detractors; I merely supported him in much the same way you stuck up for Lowe's. I thought you'd like to know about Lowe's screwing up the garage doors for the third time, because you said they (Lowe's) could do no wrong... I was just trying to alert you so you wouldn't have your facts wrong the next time you go to bat for Lowe's. Go back to your dictionary and check the definition of Narcissism, read it as many times as you need, to fully comprehend its meaning, get some outside help if you need to, and then try to present a cogent argument. I guess we’re in round two of Double Jeopardy… Imagine that… Welcome back to the game, would you like to go for Round Three...?

Frank, I hear ya, the Lucas electronics were never a strong point of English cars. My dad bought the '68 E-Type new and, as it turned out, it is designated buy the Jaguar Automobile Clubs as a Series 1.5 because it was the exported (the U.S.) version of the Series 1. The Series 1.5 has two SU carburetors’, not three Stromberg’s, a smaller grille opening and several other distinguishing characteristics, setting it apart from the Series 1. Vic

Just one definition of NARCISSISTIC, as copied and pasted (and quoted) directly from www.mayoclinic site:

Definition

By Mayo Clinic staff
"Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe that they're superior to others and have little regard for other people's feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism."

Another Country Heard From

V8COOPMAN, thanks for jumping into the fray. Would you like to become a contestant as well? I have to say that you'll be disqualified if you were in fact under the supervision of the Mayo Clinic at any time, as that might give you an unfair advantage... It's obvious (from several previous postings) that some people misconstrue a genuine interest in the hobby and willingness to share related experience, as some form of narcissism. If that were the case, the Mayo Clinic definition would be applicable to most of us here on the forum however, most of us (myself included) do not put ourselves out there as "experts" with relevance to Early Ford V8's. As someone on the forum stated; "we are here to learn". I'll go one step further and add to that statement, "Learn and enjoy the hobby" Now,are you ready to go for Round Three?

[itstom]

In case there's still any confusion of what replies are and are not sarcasm, I'm real sure that V8COOPMAN was not being sarcastic.

Also, you need to check your facts regarding your E-type. The Series 1.5 was not the "exported to the US version" as stated. As a matter of fact, the Series 1 was introduced in this country a few months before it was released in England. They continued to be sold in this country until the introduction of the 1.5's in '67 or so.


Examples of NARCISSISM:
<in his narcissism, he just assumed that everyone else wanted to hear the tiny details of his day>

I think the guy with the "What I Did on My Lunch Hour" (emphasis added) thread fits the definition.

My apologies... I didn't realize that you were an expert on Jaguars as well... As you must know by now (apparently you've read all my post) I am not overly concerned with the political correctness of any of our cars/trucks, be they Ford V8's, Lincoln's, Studebakers or Jaguars. Like myriad posters here on the forum, I enjoy reading about and sharing, the trials and tribulations’ we all experience in things relevant to our hobby. If I were spewing incessant, irrelevant minutia (similar to what you've been posting) that definition might have a loose association. For future reference, I'll offer you some constructive criticism;
The English language, like any other tool, is only effective in the hands of someone that knows how to use it… You are obviously a novice. Have a nice day.

Getting back to the original purpose of this thread, working on Flatheads, we are planning on getting a few things done this Saturday on Mike's '41, Steve's '46 and my '39, in preparation for the trip up to Dawsonville, Georgia, to attend the Mountain "Barner's Bash" and the Moonshine Festival in late October. Things are looking somewhat precarious as far as the weather for this weekend is concerned; it looks like we'll be in for a Hurricane unless it changes its predicted path... So, there is a veil of uncertainty hanging over us... I hope we can make some progress on the cars… We’ll see.

Kiwi,
Is this an out take from DELIVERANCE? Did they not have school where you came from?
You should be thankful the good Lord made breathing an involuntary action or surely you'd suffocate within the confusion.

Hi Tony,
I'm planning on driving the '39 CS up to Dawsonville, not the Zephyr. We've got to redo the transmission as the synchro locked up and I've been trying to find some time on the weekends to tackle that job. Also, I don't have a top on the Zephyr yet so that would make it a challenge to drive up to Georgia in late October, those Mountains can get cold and night. We (all the guys driving up with us) are looking forward to seeing you. We'll be doing our own "tour" on Friday, the 26th, as part of the Mountain "Barner's Bash", sure hope you can join us. Vic

Steering Wheel Removal Question

I just received the upper steering column bushing with the bronze insert (for our '39 CS), from Joblot. My question is; can I use a conventional puller to remove the Banjo Wheel or do I need something specific for this application? As always, help is appreciated. Thanks, Vic

You need a special puller similar to the SnapOn one below. '39 wheels had no provision for threaded holes like '40 and later to use the more common (generic) pullers.

[Vic Piano]

Thanks Mike, that's what I thought but wasn't sure.

It looks like we are in the proverbial "calm before the storm" here in the Tampa Bay area... The storm is not supposed to adversely affect the area until late Monday night with possible flooding on Tuesday. We are still planning on getting some work done on Flatheads tomorrow, Steve and Mike will both be here with their cars, Steve’s ’46 & Mike’s ’41 for some brake work and, if we have time, we’ll pull the banjo wheel off of our ’39 so we can replace the now non-existent upper steering column bushing.

[Vic Piano]

Well, the sun was out this morning Steve showed up with his '46 while Mike and Cliff came over without Flatheads... We got started on the rear brakes of Steve's Coupe,





Removing the right rear drum was no problem however; the left side gave us a hard time. Before too long we had everything back together, bled and adjusted, etc. I torqued to axle nuts to 200 ft-lb’s(I did use my torque wrench)

Steve drove the '46 around the block and we re torqued and set the cotter pins. After that, I drove the Zephyr off of the lift and put the '39 CS up before everyone took off (no pizza today). I just replaced the wishbone rubber ball in the '39 CS and

I'm done for the day... just in time for the afternoon drenching... Thanks to Mike, Steve and Cliff for another Flathead Fun day.

Vic,
Looks like you guys had fun before the rivers rise. How come it always takes 2 workers, one watcher, and one picture snapper for each project.
Barb and I just joined up with the New England tour in Augusta, ME. 300 miles up here today so nice to settle in. Off soon for ribs and then a rest. Walt Dupont's tomorrow so that will be a real treat.
Pics tomorrow night
John

[Vic Piano]

Sounds good john, wish we were up there with you. You know how we work, it's like a government job, and we’re mostly supervisors... LOL

[KiWinUS]

Kube , it is tough lowering myself to your (& itstoms) intellectual level , unlike you , I have that choice . So did Buick make that DELIVERANCE? or have you been watching too much TV ? or maybe you were dropped on your head at DELIVERANCE?
