O/T... BrownBagger's latest toy !

[juliej]

WINNER gets to drive the Toyota 16 Tons and waddya get ...
All losers get a ride along to the local pub ...
which we will LIFT off the foundation ..... with the Toyota and take back to Eric's place ...
for a HUGE Mega CTalk party ...
Deal ????

Deal! I'm feeling lucky!!!

And we gotta have some good tunes for the ride, like Golden Earring's "RADAR LOVE"!

I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a wave in the air, radar love....

Also...
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Jopin
Magic Carpet Ride - Steppenwolf
Highway to Hell - AC/DC
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
Voodoo Chile - Hendrix
Moondance - Van Morrison

If we need to break security, juliej and I have NO fingerprints ... SO we will run point on this

Damn right!

Okay, let's get our stories straight. We're from uh... Sweden... and we just took this bad boy out for a test drive and we got lost. (We'll carry a 40-year bourbon to slip them just in case they aren't fond of Swedes!) I'll do the talking

Aside: The biggest machine I've ever driven is a "pea viner." Peas have to be harvested very quickly while they're still fresh. It's a 24-hour operation with two 12-hour shifts running for the five or six weeks the peas are ripe. They used to hire college students to drive them at night. While a pea viner (really a type of combine) is HUGE (about 20 feet tall and 40 feet long), it moves at less than a mile an hour. We'd wear headlamps and read Plato's Republic for philosophy class while the machines sucked up the peas and removed them from their pods. Since it was night, you had to focus on a point ahead of you and try to keep the machine going in a straight line.

If you need help talking juliej .. I can help (I'm 100% Swedish). And I've seen Jimi Hendrix at a live concert 1968 if that is a bonus

Do you have any physical evidence .. like FINGERPRINTS ?????

No... Ok then..... juliej and I were just out for a test ride in this 16 TON Toyota bad boy with our buddy BBagger and we "ran into" a pub
which gave us ... take out ????? to a new home .... at BBaggers ......
