    Christmas at it's best

    I see that our fearless leader has posted some impressive avatars for everyone's use - Thanks Dave.

    Here is our traditional Christmas poem for your enjoyment:

    ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas....

    'Twas the night before Christmas and in the garage,
    There wasn't a trace of a Chevy or a Dodge.
    The presents were wrapped and the lights were all lit,
    So I figured I'd mess with the Snake for a bit.

    I popped the release and I lifted the hood,
    When a deep voice behind me said "looks pretty good."
    Well, as you can imagine, I turned mighty quick,
    And there, by the workbench, stood good ‘Ol Saint Nick!

    We stood there a bit, not too sure what to say,
    Then he said "don't suppose that you'd trade for my sleigh?
    I said "no way, Santa" and started to grin,
    "But if you've got the time we could go for a spin!"

    His round little mouth, all tied up like a bow,
    Turned into a smile and he said "Hey! Let's go!!"
    So as not to disturb all the neighbors' retreat,
    We pushed the Snake quietly into the street,

    Then, taking our places to drift down the hill,
    I turned on the key and I let the clutch spill.
    The sound that erupted took him by surprise,
    But he liked it a lot, by the look in his eyes.

    With Goodyear's a 'crying and side pipes a ’glow,
    We headed on out where the hot rodders go.
    And Santa's grin widened, approaching his ears,
    With every up shift, as I went through the gears.
    Then he yelled "Can't recall when I've felt so alive!"
    So I backed off the gas and said "You wanna drive?"
    ‘Ol Santa was stunned when I gave him the keys,
    When he walked past the headlights he shook at the knees!

    Then the big block exploded with side exhaust sound!
    Santa let out the clutch and the tires shook the ground!
    Power shift into second, again into third!
    I sat there just watching, at loss for a word,

    Then I heard him exclaim as we blasted from sight,
    "Merry Christmas to all, it's one heck of a night!!!"







    AND, for those keeping count (you know who you are), only 137 days to go . . .

    Dave,

    Nope, copied from this (or the other forum) years ago . . . but I kept it cuz I figured others would appreciate it years later as the forum changed it's membership, old guys not hanging out here as much and new owners/builders coming on line (to get some help from some of the older guys).


    Have a Merry Christmas, a safe New Year.
    I'll be seein ya shortly . . .

    Video, probably getting together the 20th to install Terry's engine, around 1:00. If I don't see ya there, Have a Merry Christmas and a safe New Year. (you know where to find me . . .)
