And so now you know how proper we were on our dates! I will have to scan and send you a copy of the picture I have of Clark's car.

Trakehners are the  ne plus ultra  of three phase eventing, in my estimation. These warm-bloods have size, strength, hybrid vigor, intelligence and the good temperament to make a strong, solid, yet fluid performer. You are so lucky to have them around, you must have picked a verrrry smart wife!

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Killdeer that must have been quite a step up, dating a guy with a car  :jumper:

I have never been an admirer of cars. I started out well, dated a guy with a horse. It was in my declining years that I found myself seeing a guy with an automobile.  :(

Killy, my wife smart? Hmmm? Yes, but two times she failed:
1) ... she sayed "yes" when I "asked" her one day (and I still know the very date!)
2) ... a decade later she damaged the car   ;)  

Trakehner horses are a nice breed, of course. I cant complain to much I suppose?! But give them one shovel of oats to much and they'll react like a coilspring. Scary!

Bentpole,
... not on purpose, not on purpose! But certainly glad you think so   :wavey:

With the recently available updates from Dr. Ashby I thought it might be fun to bring this to the top again - not to steal something from Doc Ed, but to give an example of single bevel performance.

The best news of all is though, that the Opel will soon be gone and history! Hopefully!

What kind of oil trail was left from that Opel?  Were you able to track it?  Spurting oil or just a steady drip?

Falk, vielen Dank für Bringen dies hinter auf. Ich habe es das erstes Mal verpasst. Es sieht aus, wie deutsche Männer als viel Unheil gegeben einige Freizeit und etwas Bogenschießenausrüstung machen können.  :bigsmyl:  Ich entschuldige mich, wenn mein Deutsch arm ist, ist es eine Klotz Zeit und gewesen, den ich mich auf einem Englisch/deutschem Wörterbuch verlassen musste.

You should revisit that tailgate with front loaded carbons. A Gold Tip 5575 with 500 grains up front may well bury up to the fletching.
It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare. ~Mark Twain
