I'm glad that witch didn't get her pilot's license through me! :P

Since 1995, I've been through six minivans, most of 'em Dodges. I wouldn't expect any of 'em to make it to 357,000 miles!

Son of Weldangrind bought a '91 Ranger this past summer, and it has 300,000 km on it. We figure it's nicely broken in.

On the Ranger forum, www.therangerstation.com, 200,000-300,000 miles on a Ranger is pretty common. Simple reliable overbuilt beasts.

This is one of the funniest business names I've seen, and it was in Cle Elum, WA.

It's just fun to say.

I don't have a picture, but another one I like, I see the trucks around here occasional, "Penguin Meat Company"... Hmm, I wonder if it tastes like chicken?

katoranger · 12-04-2010, 09:57 AM

My Ranger is still pretty low at 152,000. My 97 Buick is up to 186,000.

I believe my Dad's work E350 is over the 300K mark.

FastDoc · 12-04-2010, 11:43 AM

I've been to Cle Elum a few times and never saw that sign! I'll have to look for it next time.

Weldangrind · 12-04-2010, 12:32 PM

Doc, there was a greasy spoon restaurant just down the road that was fantastic. The name escapes me for the moment, but it was on the same side of the street as Chew-N-Butts, just further South.

Edit: I think it is the Homestead Restaurant.

My company shop truck, a 2000 F150, is nearing the 400K mark. Has the 5.4L Triton and can still slap the snot outta Mrs. Cheesys' A4 Turbo.

Here's a video of the day.

Today was the first day the weather has been good enough for me to fly in two weeks so I got the Maule up. The weather was barely good enough, indeed I flew through some freezing rain and started to pick up ice and had to turn around. 8O

This video is a 45 degree turn in level flight at 120MPH which works out to 2G's. It was a little tough to smoothly execute the manuver and hold the camera. :wink:

It doesn't look nearly as cool in the video as it is in real life but enjoy. :P

SpudRider · 12-05-2010, 08:21 PM

Here's a photograph I took in late November, 2008. At that time, my Zong was almost pure stock, except for the Edge 2 tail light, and the rectangular mirrors.

My bike is shod with the rarest of commodities, the Chinese, Kingstone, dual sport tires! 8O These tires are manufactured from precious unobtainium, and currently cannot be purchased anywhere in the United States of America.

Cool video! I'm absolutely terrified of flying but have been up in a small chopper 4 times with my son because he loves choppers and wants to be a helicopter pilot when he grows up. The first time we went up I almost kissed the ground when we landed

. Whoever flies these machines has my utmost respect!

Cheers,
Stew

Here's anothe video.

130MPH, 2,000 feet over the frozen desert, looking straight down.

Never have posted a pic on this website, don't know if this will work or not. Anyway this is a pic my son took of me while we when hiking in Colorado this past summer.

Sorry the size is gigantic. I work on that later. I'm still kinda slow with computers.

MICRider · 12-05-2010, 09:21 PM

Excellent pic Lego, beautiful countryside!

Cheers,
