When I was a kid, I used to get my Hondas & parts at Bud Ekins m/c in the SFV.
He had a fantastic collection of restored and somewhat current at the time unique motorcycles.
Honda made some exotic 125cc 5 cylinder racing engines, the Brits had the unique Ariel square four.

The engine that really gets my vote is the Packard/Rolls Royce Merlin XX 2200 HP.
About 150.000 of them were produced:

So the net difference between the 08 and the 07 $6,800. The 07 was driven by a dealer so I’m not very co...

I decided to try something in my home. We are "China-Free" from here on out. No, we aint eating off paper plates only...:lol:...we are simply not buying anything, NOTHING, made in China.
When I was stateside, in between deployments, I decided that when I actually moved home to live for good I would not spend my hard earned American dollars on anything Made in China. So, on Jan 8th, 2008, when I moved home after living away from my wife and kids for 5 years, we went China-Free in my house.

I’m looking into the Draw Tite hitch, as offered on a major Corvette parts website. I am NOT trying to initiate a conversation on the aesthetics, practicality, or any perceived insanity of installing a hitch on a C5Z, but I rather have a question reg’ding installation. So, if you have any experience with this, please assist:
Having looked up the instructions on the manufacturer site, I see that a 1" hole saw is necessary to make an access hole in the frame. First off, is a 1...
