Fascinating! :D

3 bolt mains! Hadn't seen that done before. :lol: The color and the timing chain cover make me think a small block Chevy was the inspiration, but no siamese ports. They are spaced like a small Ford. BBC was spaced, but those had canted valves, not inline. Cool video!

A Race truck design that was inspired by R/C cars, seems pretty cool!

Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

The cars start going over the cliff around the 9:00 mark. That looks like a lot of fun.

House (1985) It's categorized as a comedy horror but isn't overly funny or scary which I don't mean disparagingly. It's standard '80s fare, and one of my favorites. I think I first saw it in the '90s, and have watched it periodically ever since. It stars William Katt who was slated to be an '80s action star I believe but don't know how well that panned out. Other notable names were George Wendt of Cheers fame, Richard Moll of Night Court fame, and horror legend Kane Hodder as zombie Ben.

There were 3 sequels but the following 2 were in name only. I've never seen the 4th installment but it's supposed to be a continuation of the 1st. I also really enjoyed 'House II The second story' which relies much heavier on the zaniness.

I've never seen an episode of The Bionic Woman before but saw the 2 part episodes last night called Doomsday Is Tomorrow which was really thought-provoking. It even featured a ripoff HAL 9000 computer called Alex. They certainly don't make shows like that anymore. Now it's just mindless schlock.

I bought the box set on a whim. I mainly watch old shows to see the cars driving around in the background. It was actually a pretty decent show!

The final season moved to NBC. That was pretty bad, but at least we got a nice campy Evel Knievel episode out of it. NBC used most of the season trying to build interest in a Bionic Dog spinoff that never happened.
