I did in a 1959 Corvette. Everyone always wondered why it would go so fast and I think it was because I bought it from Don Yenko. I think he might have reworked the engine.lol lots of fond memories.

That is getting right up to scary fast if you're not on a really really big safe place to run. Fastest I've ever been is about 125 when my 1969 Super Bee busted the trans tailshaft housing because of crappy old u joints. <br />MG Midget owner getting a hell of a ride, HA! Scare the bugger! <br />As for readers rides, hey, just like anything else, if it's cool with wheels, I am all for it. Flipped the bird? (smirk) and in a comment on the post where I snuck in a couple of dicks... damn, either I'm reverting to 2nd grade smut jokes, or I'm getting really clever with humorJessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18429349943129907930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37353682.post-16723504382554513692017-01-13T21:18:41.717-08:002017-01-13T21:18:41.717-08:00Hey Jesse...I had a '66 Vette with a mystery m...Hey Jesse...I had a '66 Vette with a mystery motor...I was told it was an L-88...I didn't know much back in 1972 when I bought it....Except it was one fast MF...I got it up to 138 mph when my friend's hands were almost breaking the grab bar on his side..His ride was an MG Midget....<br />Do you want any old pictures of your reader's rides?<br />If so I'll try to find them. I also have some from Seattle Intl. Raceways in 1969...Some poor guy had just bought a '69 Firebird and flipped it on the track...I'm sure his insurance didn't cover drag racing....<br />Maybe he said a deer jumped out in front of him?<br />Your blog is one of the best I've found...<br />Keep-on keeping on..<br />David<br />Upriverdavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08601944771241016039noreply@blogger.com
