That quote has appeared to be more relevant on the barn in the past few weeks...

It is taken from The Winter of our Discontent, originally published in 1961.

Yes, a Barner started his post with the statement that he did not want opinions. My suggestion would be for him to join another site because that is what this site is all about. It is not about arrogance and aggravation. Wayne

If this post is not a joke it is one of the most ridiculous ever posted. Lacking totally in common sense and sound judgment. The poster should be embarrassed. Wayne.

Moving the steering wheel to the passenger side? I recommend watching a Red Green episode for complete details!

Bill . . . Or the one sitting on the cushion!

We had an out-house until the early 'forties and we lived in the "city". The worst fear is using an out-house when you're five years old. It just had a board with a hole cut in it.

I might also grind the teeth off the starter drive so they don't get caught on the flywheel and get stuck and then I can use the hand crank with no worries

That is normal, it keeps you from falling asleep. Please leave it as is, or install a electric fan, to keep your butt cool.

Why don't you make your steering column longer and set in the rumble seat. That way you can tell everyone you have a convertible. That way you won't hear the electric fan when it kicks in. Just my humble opinion.

YEAH! And you could use a magnetic coupler on the extended steering shaft. It would take all the harshness and vibration out of the steering wheel.
MAN.... why didn't I think of that.

Switch the seats.

I got kicked in the Butt by my Father so often that I have no feeling lift in that area so broken springs are no problem at all. (I knew there would be a positive outcome from all that Butt kicking)

I would suggest Marvel Mystery Oil on the Driver's Seat. It fixes all things.
