I think those light removal devices were made by Lucas,in which case they probably didnt last very long which may explain why they are so hars to find today. My $.02 Don

I have always wondered what an Occasional table was the rest of the time?

Has anyone tried Blinker Purge?

I'm hoping to increase the blink duration on cold turns. I changed the synthetic fluid AND adjusted the filaments. Nothing seems to work. I still get the same "Blinka" "Blinka" "Blinka."

I thought a good way to start the new year is by rotating my hub caps and flossing my radiator.

Did you apply the hose lotion? Cold weather can cause hose cracking, don't need a case of fuel hose eczema on the open highway. Have you added some speed holes to your hood? I finally did, I think I have about 20 extra HP now and I get 50% better MPG. You can do it yourself, all you need is a pickaxe.

You've heard of greased lightning?
I'm trying some lightning grease on my diesel to see if it will go faster.

Looking for

a radial coefficient bearing surface tension snog enhancer.
I hear it boosts diesel MPG 300%.
I have a bottle of clear air (for ham operators), and partly used box of holes to trade.

How much do you want for your partial box of holes? I probably have something I could trade you.

Re: bottle of clear air

Is it still available? I've got 2 boxes of spare anti-frequency oscillators, and 10 bottles of bad hare I'll trade for it.

Would you be willing to trade for those anti-frequency oscillators?

I think I've still got the dark emitting diode sample my dad got years ago that I'd be willing to trade. They were apprarently giving out samples at some conference my dad went to when I was just a kid. Its still in its package stapled to the datasheet. Very rare.
