Which is what I've said for the past 10 years I think? LOL! I was talking with Craig the other day and I was telling him I was basically fulfilled when it came to Indycars and that I've basically got all that I ever wished for (yeah sure)........ but almost forgot one... That 1973 Big Tank looking car! You know that big boxy one that went really fast. You know this thing....the Parnelli Chassis.....did it ever have a nickname?  So if you have one....hand it over you don't deserve it anymore!  I'll do a WIP that will make you more proud than seeing it on your shelf collecting dust. |

Looks like maybe a new kit from "the machine", after the Lotus 34. and the Firebird Spl of course. It will keep you away from the TV.

Makes since it would be a cigarette box! LOL
and Craig the only TV I watch is racing related.....Current racing of all sorts, racing news shows, my own racing history recordings.....unlike most people that watch hours of Honey Boo Boo or Kim Kardashian......if anyone does that you need to give up your 1973 Ciggy box Parnelli because you really don't deserve it!

Duane is doing you a big favor, Calvin. If you smoke, you could end up like me.

I sometimes worry about you, Calvin. I sure hope it's a long list, and I'm near the bottom.

Sorry Duane, all that stuff is long gone. If I still had anything like that, I would do it, just to crack Calvin, and all the other kids, up.

If I still had anything like that, I would do it, just to crack Calvin, and all the other kids, up. uh craig, i was thinking more along the lines of pictures from the past. i for one would definitely not fit in my old clothes. and besides i'd probably fall off my platform shoes.  duane |

Well, Duane, I never had any of those shoes. I might have some old photos, from back then, but I don't think I will be looking for them. Sometimes, the past should stay in the past.
