We have a winner!


Now. How about this classic movie with boat chase scenes.  Anyone ever come across a "turbine" Johnson V4?

That is cool. Here is my question, what was creating those rooster tails off the corners of the boat? They were not off the drive, they were off the corners. Hmmmm.

2 very cool boat chase movies are Puppet on a Chain which has a you tube clip and Peter Fonda in Outlaw Blues. I couldn't find a clip of the chase but the movie trailer near the end show's the boat briefly and it looks like a Gt 150 or 160.  The yellow boat in puppet almost looks like a carlson.

You've got it!  It's a floating horse trailer. Or, a landing cra

That's quite a snazzy sport suit that Crockett is sporting... I think that's gonna be my new look. Sans white loafers.

Ya he always had him some snappy duds.

You never know wex. Next year quasi 'leisure suits' a la white socks'n loafers might could be all the rage. Good thing I hung on to all mine ...
