My '74 Spider on PCH with a Magnaflow

Took a hot girl on a warm morning for Breakfast in Laguna Beach!
We ran down thru Crystal Cove on Highway 1 PCH heading south.
That Magnaflow sounds great I think.
Just thought you all would enjoy it as much as she did!

You're killing me, man !!!

That's a great video. Makes me want to put the computer monitor on the cowl of my resting Spider and play make-believe. The sounds, the sites and the speed are all too real in the video.

Thanks for posting. Feel free to make many more videos like that one!

Hey Bill!

Yes, it was a good morning and a great run. Gotta watch the speed along that section tho.... One clear morning, the same place but running north I got a ticket... 87mph!
I sent the link to the girl who was with me and she called me within an hour and begged me to take her again! The current girlfriend said no tho!
I told the girlfriend we will have to go do another Video and see if she can do it better.....
She is all fired up now!

Seriously tho... ever heard a production 4 banger sound like that?
Sets my nerve endings tingling every time I watch it!
I guess that is why we are all here?

Oh for God's sake!

You whippersnappers are nearly hopeless!!!

Even though you ARE, sadly, politically Correct:-(

UGH!

Get yourself a proper Giulietta Spider... take the glove box door to a good chrome & polish shop and make it into a perfect mirror.

(I can't believe these kids need this coaching... sad indeed!)

Then schmooz a hot female teenager in a mini skirt into the passenger seat... shouldn't be hard with such a cool car!

Now get on a great hunk of asphalt (the kind that twists too & fro... NOT some brain-dead parking-lot-in-slow-motion like in your lame video!!!)

If you're lucky, you may get a glimpse of heaven while you are doing some serious driving! (√ the image in the glove box door)

(Note: The glove box cover may need to be shimmed, depending on driver's height.)

As for the sound from the muffler... in my day we didn't bother with any form of silencing... straight pipes were the fashion...

LOL, Nice one Rick!
Mmmm... you are missing one point tho...
Looking at heaven in a chromed glovebox door sounds fun, but resting you hand on it is far more fun!
You must be getting old!
Grin!
