Mine's been sitting for a good 2&1/2 years. Don't feel bad. I'm probably going to have to check/bleed the brakes and clutch.

I've thought about #10715 today...(I've also logged into the forum after a long absence.) I still have her, just working at night, family, kids, etc. kind of take most of my time. Also bills. Need to...
Sweet, thanks guys! I never thought I would be thankful for Ford parts. (Sorry grandpa...lol he worked for them for nearly 40+ years) Do I need to superglue them back in, or do I just pull up on the...
Hi everyone,
Today I had a minor issue with the passenger side window after a trip to the grocery store as the glass had gotten physically stuck somehow in the trim material. So I popped the upper...
Lawrence Lormand is awesome, I can vouch for him personally! (I'm formerly of Michigan myself, now I live in MO.) Johnson County Automotive of Merriam, KS did a terrific job on my engine and fuel...
I'm only truly appalled when they give me the finger on I-435 for no apparent reason while I'm doing 65-70mph.

One fun memory from college: stalling on the way to class, still rolling, popping the clutch and re-starting the car, all while watching the surprised look on the faces of the other drivers around...
Dayyyumm....10 grande! I bought #10715 for $9,500. Been shelling out ever since. Once, I pulled up next to a guy in Richmond,MI at a stoplight who was driving a silver Turbo Esprit. He was waving and...
Awesome! Happy Birthday! and RIP John Z.
Had mine replaced last summer as well- it was the slave cylinder, in my case. I went ahead and ordered both the master and slave just to be on the safe side. I have one of John Hervey's clutch pedals...
Would that be transparent aluminum? ;) (in reference to the Star Trek threads)

Thanks David, sound advice! I've replaced the dash bulbs on the heater console with LEDs myself (after getting some metal filings in my fingers...) I had a modern radio put in to replace the dead...
Hi guys,
While taking my car out for a spin tonight, I recently noticed that while the angle drive (brand new kit with the dust cover from Houston) works great, my mileage odometer has stopped...
I had a bright, green post-it note placed under the wipers the other day. "If you're ever interested in selling the car, please call ...." blah blah, etc.
Wait- "If I am ever interested in selling...
Of course! Saucer separation sequence beginning... ;)
This is one of my to-do's. So far, #10715 has new studs and the stainless steel exhaust gaskets. No actual header or muffler/pipes replacement yet. Need to save my cash! I would love a Stage I.
I love it! Although not a "conventional Trekkie" (bad pun there,) I do love TOS and TNG era. I would have to say the refit Constitution has always been a favorite of mine. My poor old dad will go on...
My wife calls my car "the other woman." She means it in the best way, though!
That's terrible! I'll definitely be keeping him and his family in my prayers. My heart goes out to the Michigan crew and all those who knew him.

My unrealistic wish list:
-Stainless Steel frame (unless I become a lawyer or trip over a random $13K in cash)
-Supercharger
-Flux Capacitor replica that I didn't try make myself but paid a lot...
I should have taken a picture of 10715 when it was in my dad's driveway last winter, before I got married. She wasn't exactly "abandoned" per se, but with the torn louvres and scratched up quarter...
Sweet. I feel like some kind of spy when I look at these. :D lol
I love the movie replicas, though I wouldn't do that to my car, personally! (My wife would be mad, she likes it as stock as possible.)
Anyone know where to find a list of parts needed for the...
