Tonka, one of the best things to ever come out of the great state of Minnesota.


I have fond memories as a kid of my green Tonka dump truck.  That thing had a hard life!  One day my mom was coming home from shopping in her '71 Ford Country Squire wagon.  Going down Parade Hill Road, she got passed by my Tonka dump truck - loaded with my sister's Barbie dolls - on fire!

The truck lived on quite a while after that.  My butt assumed the same color as my Tonka fire engine later that evening  ::) ::)

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Yes Dough we used to do that behind the schoolbus we get of at the first stop in the village and grab the rear bumper on the bus an let of close to home.
One time a guy hit a bump in the road that made him flying and he stradled the pole to a mailbox right in the crotch :o :( :'(
We let go and run to him where he was lying in fetal position white in the face moaning my balls, my balls, ooohh my balls ;D
took a good five minutes before we could help him up and limp him toward his home,

When i was at Eriks place today another guy, Billy showed up. He remebered when he almost froze to death when we was and fetched a 8 3/4 rearend out of a 58 Desoto in a swamp.
 Was  about 30 minus about a mile hike in kneedep snow he had not enough clothing . Me and Erik working on turning the Desoto on its side so we sweated, Billy got coolder and coolder i had to kick down some dead small pinetrees and make a fire to taw Billy up.

If somebody told me to that stunt today,  my answer would be,,,,just shoot me here and now ;D

Somewhere there we started building and modifie stuff, putt tooths on the bucket on the Tonkas ;D

Is Tonka Toys still in buissnes? our loaders is now used by third generations. Thats quality toys

Built a lot of   "gocarts" dunebuggys and other "deathtraps"as kids
between my and his  father that had a gasstation and car repairshop there was a lot of usable junk to play with
Before women came in to our lifes and confiscated our creative hours ???

Was a fun day, We had a lot of laughs about old memorys and ate some grilled pickeled herring (noooo not the rotten kind  ;D ;D) and had a few beers

He is building a 55 Chevy wagon

The consensus seems to be :
Iron block/Iron heads: set per cam card or maybe +.002  Most say per card
Iron/Aluminum: -.006
All aluminum: -.012

There was a good procedure on the Bullet:  set cold per above, heat cycle engine once or twice.  Run engine to op temp, then set one one cylinder to hot spec per cam card.  Let the engine cool, take a reading on that cylinder - there's your cold lash for that engine combination.

That is what i usualy do

That Floride reminds me of the Corvair, another horrific car.

That flag you had on your jacket Heo doesn't mean what it once did (if it ever really did). The Marxists and their soft-core socialist comrades have been firmly in charge (in varying degrees depending on the state) over here for decades. Gotta be careful, leaning towards a political/philosophical discussion here :)

Diogenes and his fellow ancient Cynics had the right ideas....:)

Well as a 14 years old kid i did not had it  to represented anything  just a cool patch but i did know that my answer would blow his main fuses ;D ;D ;D

I thought about that Renault :o  I wounder why Renault comit so much to racing and rally
when their customers consist of wino female shrinks and scoolteatcher with Marxsist ideas with zero interest in racing

Heo - Don't be shy!  Tell us how you really feel!!  ;D ;D

Those people in the US can't have Renaults, so they buy Subarus instead  :-X

Well since the Forum been kind of quiet lately i tell you ;D I actualy owed a Renault when i was a kid
A Floride , Dad made some horsetrading with a junkyard and the Floride become mine, a total rustbucket
My plan was for a new chassie with Volvo components but but it never happened


Nice looking exept for the front, Only a mother can love that. Tesla recycled that front design ???  I think when it went defenitly wrong for Renault was early 60s with the 4L and then it went downhill.
 
My 4th to 6th grade school was neighbor with a Journalist school It was a total Hippie camp. Main ocupation for the student was, smoking weed, drinking cheap redvine, reading Comrad Maos little red meinkampfh, Protest, Demonstrate, Worship Pol Pot and painting flowers on their Renault 4Ls.
Our theatchers warned us we was not to take any candies from them if they offereds us some ;D ;D. After that they got work on newspapers that was telling us the " Truth" ::)
One time me and dad was going home from town, road passed the hippie camp, and a cow barn was on fire close to the hippie camp.
Dad stopped and saved the cows from the fire just after that the fire departmen showed up and started to put out the fire. When a hippie women showed up
totaly stoned," hide" behind a small tree ,took of her clothes and stark naked run for the fire ;D ;D. One fireman hosed her so she fell down and he  ::)hosed her away from the fire. Still remember her saggy tits flopping like a flag in hard wind from the spray. Cops showed up and had to handcuf her and take her away ::)

7th to 9th grade i had 4 marxsist teatchers ,each of them had a maroon Renault 16 one was even a Stalinist he used to brag about his journeys to Sovietunion
and East Germany and tell us how much better there was, that he had seen Lenins corpse,bla,bla,bla.
He realy hated me beacuse i had a Thunderbird and a U.S flag on my denim Jacket and he asked me why and if i knew what that flag represented and i answered  yes FREDOM ;D ;D dont took me long to figure out how to press his button to send him through the roof

Renault came up with an answer to the Ford Super Van in the mid 90's.  It's the V-10 F1 Espace van, probably the best sounding van ever built!
