well Jre and donjuan have it right, it's a 427 Shelby Cobra replica and yes those are the rockies.
Don't ask me anything about all I know is we used a 1991 mustang as the donor car, the side pipes don't bother you when you drive (other than they are very, very, loud, we measured it and got it up to 122 decibels, I believe a jet plane is 140) The exhust doesn't come up because you'r driving and it blows away, however, the car is not built for comfort by any stretch, it is extremely windy and loud, we have to wear earplugs if we go on the highway and bundle up really good, and though there is a heater, it doesn't do much good at 80 miles an hour.

The side pipes will give a very nasty burn, it can cause 3rd degree burns and melt the material into your skin,  I've seen pictures, not a pretty sight.

Sure raises heads though, thundering around in the thing.

The silver things in the back are roll bars so if  the thing flips we won't get crushed, in theory, anyway.  Traditionally, there is only one on the driver's side but because Daddy loves us, he put in a second one.

I don't see any wrench.

I haven't a clue why there's not grill on the car, I think that's how they are traditionally built.

That about exhausts my knowledge, if you have more questions, I'll ask my father though, he'd be happy to oblige, he's currently helping several other people in the area build one too.

Oh yeah, it took him a year to take apart and clean the donor and about 6 months to build it and then a long time to get the pros to paint and adjust everything.  He's still teaking things here and there all the time.

National Geographic are bitches when it comes to photography... each photo needs to have a specific number of lumens (?) of lighting, ISO, exposure time, colour saturation, dimensions blablabla...


Those polar bears are cute... just wanna give em a big cuddle (and then the ingrates tear you in half).

my mother lived in Churchill Manitoba, the polar bear capital of the world and this boy was walking between houses, stepd on a bear sleeping in the snow and had half of his face removed, he was lucky to survive.
Come to think of it, my mother was almost eaten by a wolverine there too.  Not a nice place.  Ah well, the wolverine is now a very very nice stole.

Wolverines are vicious creatures... I loved Churchill, the people were lovely and the local fauna did nothing but pose for me - I must've been lucky! I'm hoping to go back in the next year or two.

I keep on catching my kitty in my alto sax case, (he couldn't fit into my soprano and he's afraid of my baritone)  I think it's kind of cute.



Wow...cute kitty, but it looks a bit scary with those shining eyes.(no offense)

My cat craped whilst he was sleeping and didn't realise that he was sleeping in his own crap... I think he's done it again this morning, but it might just be mud on his fur.

Nappys for senile cats possibly?

Have you got a gun?  If so you can shoot it.  Otherwise stick it in a shoe box and run over it.  Or chuck it out the window of a very tall building.

For most people, it's easy to tell the difference between cat crap, mud and refrigerated leftovers, but you should chuck them all out when they get furry.

But seriously, Henrah, when I was in my twenties, I made friends with a couple in their eighties, and, because I was young and unaware, I was amazed at the love between them. Caring for someone as they get older and more infirm can be very fulfilling, and you clearly love your cat, so the same will be true. I had eight cats whom I looked after into their old age, and there were some very wonderful moments with all of them.

Wishful Thinker has cats too, because he mentioned them in one of his posts. I bet Mrs Thinker doesn't let him shoot at them.

you kinda have to have a photo that has some contrast, sharpness etc. It's easy for digital photography though, since you just have to adjust some stuff in photoshop.

Kudos to the bear pic! So cuuuuute!  ;) The only cuddly animal that i took a picture of was a... caged bunny. lol
