Re: Nasty Little Distributor

It's probatbly ticked off that you called something wimpy like a "dizzy" when it's proper name is 'distributor". I don't know where the dizzy crap got started but that is one of the silliest things I see grown men write on car and truck boards.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.

Almost as bad as, Bonnet, Boot and Tyre... IIRC first time I ever seen Dizzy used was in the early days of the internet by European folks.

That is hilarious... I thought the same thing a while back - but, here I am using it - because it is just practical. I am all about function over fashion.

I thought the same thing about texting, GPS, and smart phones with internet when they were coming out (respectively) --- who would EVER need that garbage? But - again, here I am constantly using my phone to take pictures of this project, share it all with you wonderful people - and gaining all kinds of knowledge and help - in an instant, from the palm of my hand.

Dizzy = less typing and people are still fully clear about what I am referring to. I like that. (Even though it still eats my soul a little - bahaha)
