I lived all over Texas, much of it on the escarpment including 10 years in San Angelo. copy and paste the following line just as it appears--into google search:
"San Angelo bar"
Today, I made a big post driver out of 3' X 3" heavy wall pipe, to drive 10' lengths of 2' steel pipe for a six foot chainlink fence I'm putting around my garden area. 4' in the ground. It isn't for the faint of heart.

Yup thats the good old diggin bar i used to use. I had the one with the big plate at the top of it. i assume it was for a sledge or somthing like that i never had to use it. Picture this as your main tool all day to get through rock dirt and ice... man it gives me nightmares. i hate digging without a bobcat.

That's what we used to pound the ~15' posts into the lakebed for dock posts when we lived on the lake. Ours was about 6" in diameter though...the wooden posts we used were pretty thick. Damn thing weighed nearly 50 pounds, and is kind of tough to find/fish out of the lake when you drop it. Don't as me know how I know that last one.
Wow, struck a nerve did I? Did'nt think asking a man about his cars on a car forum would rub him the wrong way. Like I said it was not meant to harm you PK kid, if you need someone to talk to feel free to PM me.

You dident really strike a nerve. I just find it really odd that you want to go and question me about my cars like that. All my explnations were clear and true. and like you said you wanted to make me tick so you got what you asked for.
That guys attitude really sucked. Smart ass comments in peoples threads and picking fights at random.
Ya, most of us were trying to keep the atmosphere light in this thread... but I saw the O/P the same as walking up to someone on the street and saying "jeez, you're pretty ugly, no offense, but just wondered if you ever considered plastic surgery? No diss meant though."
You can mask rude comments with as many "lol"s, "not to dis", etc. as you like, but rude is still rude. Like whitedevil said.... pms are available for a reason. I'm a bit surprised at the ban though. ......and I agree... I would have liked to see how things panned out with his car.

Ya, I remember seein something about that. ...my screen name doesn't show it, but I've actually been on and off this forum since 2001. I just typically stay away from the drama. I did notice his obsession with you since his return, but hey... everyone seems to rag on you, so I didn't really think it was out of the ordinary. lol

Yes but you at least wernt banned. i think the banning should have clearley shown him he wasent wanted here. I dident contribute to his rating bar when he was redfieroman but i sure as hell did this time around. i know everyone rags on me here but i know most of it is all out of fun and i dont really mind it but him "what makes your TICK" that was a little out there.

No, never banned. Just left the game for awhile... well, that and I swapped screen names about a year ago because I didn't like the other I had. (just mentioned my longevity because most think I'm new to the forum and don't know the score) ..but ya, I think most of us picked up on the fact that this thread didn't have the greatest of intentions (hence my post further up).
It was entertaining though ...how often do you get an excuse to post a pic of someone cutting their toenails (not my feet by the way lol)

I'd never seen a Lotus Europa before, nor even heard of one, so I went looking and found this pic of a '74 model.
Holy crap! It looks like the drunken lovechild of an AMC Pacer and a Fiero notchie!
That was one of the later model's where the back end raied up higher. Mine is a 1970 or 71 still waiting on confermation. Id kill to have mine look like that.
