part 1 • part 2 • part 3 • part 4 • part 5 PART IV: War Snake 2 War Snake 4 is almost complete and ready to run on the tv show "Pinks". War Snake 5 will come in the summer of 09....avaliable as a conversion for an existing cobra, or as a "Drive away" car for those who can't wait. Have a look at the promo for it else where on this site. War Snake 4, the "Pinks" car, is just a old style 5.0......not a 4 cam motor. The only power adders are an antique, belt driven paxton supercharger, making about 4 pounds of boost, and a single stage of Nitrous jetted for only a 75 horse power hit. I will post pictures on the site soon, and they will be of the actual "Pinks" car. We are bringing our BIG trailer to the show.....and by the way, it is so big it has a t shirt shop in the front. Stop by and look the car over for yourself...look all over, under, and around it all you like. It is what I say it is.........or is it? By the way, war Snake 4 is only the second in the line to use an old fashioned carburetor. Yep. Look for yourself, no fuel injection here. Look very closely...that really is a Carburetor. Trust me. I would be remiss if If I did not include this in the story. At one time, I knew a japanese girl named Falon Lee (no relation to Bruce, who by the way is CHINEESE). She was the dearest most loved one I ever had who was not related to me by blood. She was a true Master Martial Artist......Here is a hint for those few who know....her belt was SILVER with a very specific pattern of gold stitching. For the rest of you, she was very kind and gentle natured.....and the best fighter I ever knew, bar none (Sorry Clayton, she would have beaten you like a rented mule). At any rate, I knew her for an all too short 3 years before she had to return to Japan. She taught me about 80% of what I know of the martial arts.....my training was later completed by a fellow named Clayton Thorn, mentioned above. She is the one who awarded me the belt I have today...because in the real world, masters may award belts at their desecration pay no attention to the bull shit you see on T.V. She had it very ornately wrapped, and presented it to me at the departure gate for her flight back to Japan. I planned to liquidate my assets here in the U.S. and join her in about a month. I will never forget her departing words" I fear for you mark, for you live in a glass palace made of your own ego, which is built atop a mountain of sand that is your pride". Those were the last words she ever spoke to me. Her funeral was held in Tokyo, japan 1 week later....I could not make myself attend. As for the belt...it remains in the package she sealed it in.....said package will never be opened until after my death. It is my salvation that she is waiting for me on the other side. |
