Arrival of the slave 


what the? and the Barrett Jackson pronounciation guide 

Got the clutch slave and hose in the mail today from my friends in Virginia. Hmmm. Yes, looks like there are two circlips that go on either end. The forward one is going to take a serious Plastic Man maneuver to install, instead of my usual Woosie Winks maneuvers. Hmmm. Strokes chin.

Been watching the Barrett-Jackson auction on Speed the past couple of days. If I never see another 69 Camaro, it'll be too soon. I can't blame them, though. I see this as the last gasp of the muscle car, which will plummet like Ferraris in the 90s. I'd wager they'll be back to around $20K or so in a couple years.
One of the Speed announcers, the one with the smoothest voice and the inanest comments, identified a celebrity in the audience. "It's the bassist for Van Halen!" he announces, pronouncing "bassist" as if poor Michael Anthony played a sport fish for a living. Ooof. I'd rather hear Keith Martin wax eloquently on big Healys. Oh, I'm in luck.
