Welcome to Classic Olds.

CadillOlds?

Olds powered is all that matters in most Olds drag racing events if you want to take it to the track.

Are Oldsmobile 350's into Cadillacs the only kind of transplants you do Doc??

You see... I got this pain in my side........

Take off your clothes and I'm sure he'd be happy to examine you.

How do you know dr siddeley is male Jamesbo??
You never know.


I have the Skype deal with the camera on top of the PC so my daughter in college can see her cat?
People get in trouble with those things though, live online cameras not kitties, Interpol would be a-knockin' at my door.

Talking Welcome to CO

Sounds like Doc did a heart transplant and the operation was successful. That Olds will wake up the Caddy.

A Caddy diesel is already an Olds powered car...who do you think makes the diesels...??? and that is what makes the transplant so easy Dr. Heckle or is it Mr. Hyde...and then there is the really neat possibility of a 455 now, DDI- direct drop in ...cha cha cha...

Now my Armstrong siddely has been bothering me lately Doc.
Got anything you can give me for it without a perscription?

Those are nice cars, look a lot like a Rolls-Royce or Jaguar to me. Is that like saying an Olds looks like a chebby over here???

What's this deal about a horse and a lady with no clothes on anyway?

My wife still makes fun of me because when I first met her I thought he was saying "Put a lion in the coconut".

Jamesbo can get a Tiger in his tank?

I went crying to her and finked that you've called me an a$$hole for no apparent reason several times Sandy.

She said you should just use my initials "A.H." and it would be a lot easier for you.
She ran off giggling and I went after her but the dogs gave chase and quickly subdued me, they're are all females and on her side too.
I even look at her or my girls funny and the pre-attack low growling starts.

You guys sure do stick together.

I had a wife once who didn't know that Iwo Jima and Hiroshima were two different places.

She never could figure out what those Marines were doing putt'in up a flag.

I love it!! Now you tell her that I have not called you... your initials... what I say is... you're such a shi*! Same vicinity... different meaning! And always remember "we're all sistas!!"

Now you better go put some lime in the ta-kill-ya!!!
