Earthquake strikes OGR World Headquarters

SteinzeitOGR Forum Member

The USGS reported a 4.0 magnitude earthquake struck at 3:04 pm "centered in the Youngstown area". Since 3 pm is a little early in the day for a Polka Band at a wedding reception to reach Critical Mass, the only other reason for an earthquake in the Youngstown area MUST be an "earthshaking event" At OGR World Headquarters. So, what was it:
- Has Allan decided to sell all his tinplate 0 and switch to Japanese prototype N scale ?
- Has Kalmbach bought out OGR ?
- Has Ed cornered the market on 6017 cabooses ?

Inquiring minds need to know !

Best, SZ [ who also wishes all OGR staffers and their families a Healthy, Safe, Happy 2012...]

I used twine...723 feet of it, wound through the frames of both vehicles and tied with a pretty red bow.

Makes as much sense as "lashing up" some locomotives.

Cool, I'm glad they wrapped it to keep the salt spray off.

Now that I would believe!

Our house shook and the windows rattled. We thought something had hit the house. This was the 11th earthquake in the last 9 months. The others were in the 2.0 - 2.7 range. I never felt the others. The cause in unknown but all have occurred within a few miles of a brine fluid injection well. You can read about it here.

Maybe the page problems with the current issue of OGR Magazine was caused by the printer running during the earthquake.

How many plastic pink flamingos took a dive at the OGR headquarters during the big quake?

I think the real reason for the earthquake is that Rich read the survey results from the OGR Forum that concludes that he should change his "Handle" from OGR WEBMASTER to MR. LASH UP

Rich,

You are one lucky sonofagun. First to be at the throttle of OGR; then to be at the throttle of good ol'# 265 and lastly to be on the throttle of a 1957 Chysler 300C!!. Make me really jealous and tell me that you have the 390 hp option. Those cars really opitimize the saying "Ain't no car like a Mopar" which those newer Chrysler products have never even heard.

Oh Bill, don't I wish! My 300C is not a '57, but I sure wish it was.

My 300C is a 2007 Heritage Edition, which honors the Beautiful Brute of 1957. I was only 11 years old in 1957 and a confirmed MOPAR guy even then. You have no idea how I lusted after the '57 300C...but at 11 years old it was just a dream.

When we get the new forum up and running, I'll post a little video of my 300C.

Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale should be starting up in about two weeks or so. Take your check book and see if you can make that dream a reality.

ROTFL!

Nice idea, but my checkbook wouldn't come anywhere close to buying a 57 300C!

A friend of mine worked for a lawyer restoring cars and one of them was a 300-F

It was pearl white and had the hubcap in the trunk lid. Which I thought was pretty cool.

The best part was the 426 Hemi under the hood with dual ram intake and 4 barrel carbs!!

The intake for the right bank went to the left side and vice versa,what a beast!

The EPA would love them today,lol.
Sorry not a C,but more impressive.

Doug

PS,the saying is: Mopar or no car,lol

Rich,

Then you wouldn't want to see this Champagne Gold 300C much less this little red one.

But you know, I was thinking. You could ask Jim if he's somehow related to the Barrett of Barrett - Jackson and see if they're willing to barter for notch 8 time behind the throttle?

Doug,

The Fs had 413 wedge engines albeit with those most desirable crossrams. 426 Hemis (wedges were earlier) were first offered in 1964 and it wasn't until 1969 that Chrysler offered, IMHO, a 'streetable' version that you didn't need to retune almost every other tankful. The '67 & 68s were bears to keep in tune. But boy, could they run!
