Sparky 312 MPH run on Youtube
« on: January 23, 2009, 11:59:09 AM »
I heard of a Youtube clip about 3 minutes long of a car with a camera facing backwards. I do not know the car, but the clip started at the line and ran all the way till the car stopped at the return road. I think the guys nickname is Sparky and he ran 312MPH. Does anyone know how to find this clip on Youtube? Without the exact title I cannot find it. Thanks

"We are having fun with the sailboat"

Phil, I think he's talking about playing with a tiny plastic boat in the bathtub.  Or something . . .

Well one of the joys  :-D of being retired like Sum or me---is when you get to our age you have the mind of a NON grown up kid  :evil: but for all the wrong reasons!!!!!  :cheers:

We are going to sail on that stuff under the boat when it melts and runs off down to Lake Powell  8-).  There is some more by the house (see pictures), so I'm confident the lake will be full.  Mike call me, I have some ideas for your site and called the other day, but got the answer machine,
