Re: cleaner emissions

There was a guy trying this out in the shop unit next to mine about 10 years ago. Apparently,it was also supposed to increase fuel mileage. He was one of those guys who (I hate to say this) always had a get rich quick scheme going and was consistently broke. Given that I've not heard anything about ...

Re: Paint Problem.

Re: Hamilton watches

How old is the Hamilton? I believe that they're now owned by the Swatch watch group which also owns Omega and Tissot. Car forums are usually appropriate places to ask watch questions because most car guys are also watch guys. If you're still having trouble, try the following forum: http://watchuseek...

Re: mobile phones.... again

I think that this phone was also called the Motorola Memphis. Ahh back in the 90's I used to look like a Motorola Slimlight. Now I look like a Motorola Memphis :)

Re: Will classics ever become affordable again?

Re: Will classics ever become affordable again?

Right now, the late 70's and early 80's cars are popular because the kids who used to dream about them are now in their late 40's and 50's, they are at the t...
