Ahhhh Comfortably Numb...

Still here. From time to time at least. Just have no news to report. Wish I did. How are the Cougar's going?

Was having some throttle issues before, high idling and just behaving weird. Found out that cleaning the air filter helps big time, running smoothly now.

Have a slowly deflating driver's front tyre. Will get that looked at this weekend hopefully.

The weather's not helping keep her clean aside from that. Wouldn't mind having enough money to put on an exhaust either but all in time!

Still here, nothing new with my Cougar. Try to source Momo wheels but finding it impossible to get an answer from anyone here or in Italy. Don't suppose anyone here works for Auto-Tek......
Still loving the car!

Yes Dave the body kit is on (at last), very happy with it. Now I just need some sun so that I can give it a good clean & take some pics!

This week's song lyrics: "Walkin' in the park just the other day, baby, What do you, what do you think I saw?"

Take care guys,
Melissa.

Woohoo! 10 Points! hahahaa :
Not sure about the new challenge though.

Gotta say I'm pretty excited to see the new pics Melissa. Bodykitted Cougar's are rare enough, yours will be quite special too.

Hope the weather improves for your photos

Dan

Haven't been asked the question yet but have been getting a lot of looks in the traffic - & a double take when they see a chick driving! Guess they need to catch me to be able to ask the question lol! :

Notably this would be the first AFD in 5 years I think without a Cougar present :( But mine's just not up to scratch for it. She needs a bit of TLC and some work. Maybe 2010 will be the comeback :P

That was quick! 20 points for song & artist Mark. :

OK - next one (trying to be a little bit obscure): "One pill makes you larger, And one pill makes you small"

And no Googling for answers! :P

Mark is leading with 30 points, Dan & Angelo equal second with 10 points each (not really any point to this, just having a bit of fun! : )

According to the Chinese Zodiac 15 February 2010 to 3 February 2011 is the Year of the Tiger.

As the Cougar is a close relation to the Tiger your planning may be spot on & 2010 will, in fact, be the Year of the Cougar! woohoo :

(Just watch out for Cougars with rare body kits lol) :

No Googling for answers - Dam - that's me out then, I'll have to wait for
the 70's & 80's questions then.

Cheers

What - no takers? OK, I'll give you a couple more lines & a hint.

"One pill makes you larger,
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you,
Don't do anything at all,"


Hint: this song was used in a very well known movie based on the Vietnam War.

I'm off for 3 days much needed R & R : I hope someone has the answer when I get back.

Enjoy the long weekend everyone!

Hi all

Haven't popped in for a while. Great to read everyone's kittys still prowling away strong. Unfortunately I can’t say the same (will start new thread explaining). Let’s just say for now that my kitty is so ill that it looks like I won’t be a MTL-10N for long.

As for the song quiz, I’m a Gen-Y’er so my knowledge of music is pretty limited. But anyone for brain teasers? (no Sudoku, thanks) lol

Anyone do anything good on the long w/e?

Tony

Hi Guys,

Still no takers? More clues:

"One pill makes you larger,
And one pill makes you small,
And the ones that mother gives you,
Don't do anything at all,
Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits,
And you know you're going to fall,
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar,
Has given you the call,
To call Alice, when she was just small"


Hint: this song was used in a very well known movie based on the Vietnam War. The movie is Platoon.

Anyone got the answer? - Googling allowed!

Still haven't washed mine (sorry guys, no pics yet) - went away over the long weekend & it got even dirtier! Gotta say though that it seems to handle much better with the kit on. Went flying through the bends (staying within the speed limit...of course :P) down the mountain between Braidwood and Batemans Bay and it stuck to the road like glue, woo hoo! :

ha ha - 20 points Tony!

Next challenge:

One hot angel,
One cool devil,
Your mind on the fantasy,
Livin on the ecstasy,


Can anyone get it without Google?

Have fun guys!
