1) Tires can fail, especially when carrying heavy loads at speed - making sure they have a high pressure in them is an obvious first essential - if they are good quality, they will take a fair bit higher than car tire pressure. Low pressures equal heat build up, and heat destroys tires real fast, aka blowouts coming soon. In Australia we have light and heavy commercial car type tires, their tread type not so much the finer/closer car type - are ones like these available in US? And re the need for trailers - as a teenager I bought old late 20s cars and drove them home - even a '37 Indian Sidecar, and I then lived 200 miles up bush! Later I started buying rarer cars that sometimes needed a trailerto bring home, before I realised/decided/woke up, if it needed a trailer, avoid the likely grief/time/money before it was able to be driven. Now I think I detect, some of you who have cars too good to be driven - we are stange people sometimes aren't some of us sometimes?! I had a real real rare fast fast fasr car, alloy body, likely one of the three best original condition ones remaining in the world, and for ten years never drove it because I was scared something might happen to it, before I woke up I better enjoy it, because when I died I couldn't take it with me to enjoy it then!! The worst enemy of a good enjoyable car can be making it more perfect than new, because then we are afraid to use it? 2) new Chrysler 300grilled van mentioned on Club listings - please someone who knows anyone at Chrysler tell them NO EVER EVER ANY 300Cnameplate minivan/Van - Exner must turn in his grave - take a look at the MoparCars concept site that that was also just given on the Club site, and see the often remarkable styling attempted back in Exner's fifties period. Some may look a bit odd, but these were concepts, supposed to make one think/question. Sadly I doubt DaimlerChrysler will ever release a swoopy knockout 300, as it will steal from their best US Mercedes buyer/sales source for likely their highest profit product - all I believe the 300 will get is a product that gives DC additional sales to their big V8 V12 sports/luxo MB Coupes and Convertibles - that I think adds up to more brick shaped 300s, rather than what many hope may be coming - please may I be wrong. Meantime, all who can, tell DC use their imagination re new names for product, rather than misuse too much the 300 one. Christopher in Oz ------------------------ Yahoo!
