« on: June 19, 2005 - 03:47:15 PM »
i have just returned from an hours ride in my plymouth barracuda, its a manual 318.  fuel here is around $10 per gallon. does that bother me? i drive it every day. do i let the rice burners piss me off?  no...what is this all about? these cars are the best, stood the test of time and still going.   just simply enjoy your ride, if the others upset you that much either give up driving or seek help.  ps.photo of me and my mates 455, proudly showing off our pride.  these and parts are  rare here, think yourselves lucky how accessable stuff is for you guys!!!   im in wales, uk.   about to do 440 conversion,  i am contemplating a dual intake with 2   650< been told unreliable>{BUT I FANCY THE THROUGH THE BONNET SCOOP!!!} or a 750 holly.  thanks for the replies, keep it mopar!!!!  any advice/ help  much appreciated!!!  nathan. ps going to california sept. see what goodies i can bring home!!!      pps. colour is  actually a fiat colour!!!

Nice pic.  I guess I would still drive if fuel was $10 per gallon here (around $2.00 now in Florida) but it would definately shorten my trips!!!   :newsad:
