All the way up to my dad's cottage (I'm there to clean it for him) he kept complaining while riding shotgun that I was driving too slow. Keep in mind I got clocked at 111 kph in an 80 kph zone about two months ago in Ontario Canada so I was being careful. The old man at age 91 kept egging me on to go faster and faster. 20 kph over wasn't enough for him so I just went right back down to the exact speed of 80 kph. I was only driving his Chrysler mini van at that. He says I drive too slow so he'll show me how it's done on the return back Monday or Tuesday. I can hardly wait.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Just stopped in London...Ontario that is. Looks like it will be some late night driving for me. Volts 13.7; cylinder head temperature 198F; air fuel ratio hovering around 14: inlet air temp I think was 61 or so. Car is performing like a champ on the 401 highway. I feel like Mad Max driving one of the last of the Interceptors. All I need now is an Australian sheep dog, a sawed off shotgun and some Dinky Dee dog food in an old can.
