Anyone know whats happening to The ShopTalk Forums?

Doc posted on THESamba that they were having "technical difficulties" and some server problems....server is back online, but they can't get the software to work and don't know why....

What's he pissed about this time?

Probably somebody took one of his Type 4s and put hydraulic lifters in them after the fact!

Aw man, say it ain't true! How silly is that! Or are you kidding me.

Nah, some geezer critized his 3litre engine only putting out something like 178 ponies on the rolling dyno, he had been predicting close to 300 I think.

To his defense, this is the first time the engine was run, consider it a prototype. It was set up for F.I. but was run on carbs etc....

buy anything from him. He's way too

Just an engine builder. I suppose Georgia O'Keefe was merely someone who painted some flowers.

What is to be despised is undeserved arrogance. From what I've seen Jake is fully entitled to his fair share of arrogance. Of course, what you and others may see as arrogance might simply be impatience since he already learned the hard way how these things need to be put together. If that is the case, then I have to give him his due. In some ways I share those characteristics when it comes to the things I am truly expert at, but those subjects rarely come up in this forum.

"Just an engine builder"? What's a person got to do to get some respect?
