Post by: Steve D. on February 01, 2008, 03:48:07 am My dad knew Marvin Miller back in the 70's and did some electrical work for him. When it came time for the bill my dad told him not to sweat it- Marvin told him to bring his bike in ('73 Kawasaki 900 ZR1) and he'd take care of something for him. Long story short, dad ended up with a bottle between the front forks and a shot that felt like an extra 900cc's just joined the party.
He put more than a few miles (and bottles) through that bike around the Whittier area. He remembers Nabisco well. Title: Re: Don't Tell me Nitrous Oxide ain't Old-School... Post by: Matt H on February 01, 2008, 14:55:48 pm I love that car. When I do another VW it will be something along those lines. I loves the dechromed body and the chromies with no caps. Killer car

Anybody ??? Frank Title: Re: Don't Tell me Nitrous Oxide ain't Old-School... Post by: Rennsurfer on March 06, 2008, 17:30:24 pm To each their own... I'm not fond of the term "old school." Never quite understood school, anyway... so new, old, or anything else just doesn't compute in my mind.
Even worse; never understood why anyone would want to run that bizarre gas mixture in their cars. ??? But, like I previously said, everyone's gotta do their own thang(sic).

Post by: Rick Meredith on March 06, 2008, 19:55:06 pm My take on it is that Nitrous is a kick when it's running right but it has the potential for great disaster!
To risky for me. |
