Hi mate, do you still remeber that night at "Gary's Picnic", when my only miniscule claim to stardom was beating "Dave Pollen" in his 8 sec Opel Manta BBC..got the launch on him on reaction time and he had a misfire, took the win light with a 10.7 and then my water tank blew up through the traps, and the mad rush to get it fixed for the next round, never forget that...thanks for your help.

Yes I do, great times!

Here's one from one of the Picnic's, you caught me napping but I seem to remember catching you at the top end...

Les Szabo · Post by **Les Szabo** » Fri May 13, 11 8:41 pm

yeah but the win light was mine

I'll be at Franky's and Benny's last Friday of the Month in Chingford, for the car meet, why don't all you Mopar men/women who live in the area or not, come up and we'll take the place over.....

No burnouts please

Welcome back Les! Great to see you on here. You won't remember me, but your 340 Cuda was an inspiration to me, and I have lots of pictures of it at the Pod. That car set the standard for small block Mopar street cars in the 80's.

The Guy who had your 71 cuda was Pete Austin,real nice guy,ran in mod ET.
Think he painted it pink,was always pitted with the Gordon & Alan? Smith
(Duster & barracuda).

Cuda man - balls out - and a 71 - sure I can learn a lot from guys like you - love the old pics - remember that 71 when the pod was pretty grim

Hi Les why havn't you told them about the Mustang that you used to have. I remember going with you and Steve Rawling to pick up the Cuda from the docks. Steve picked up a super bee if I remember rightly.
