Cleaniest Clipper contest

[bigray]

I think Andy is sipping rum......

that black streak you see is a shadow from a nearby tree.......duhhhhh

[Horst]

yeah - must be on your end - I just tested with Windows and Mac machines - safari, Explorer and Netscape - and my Clipper is there is all her glory....

maybe I won't sell her after all - but two motorhomes at the house? - the wife will not like that and will use it as leverage against me to justify her ridiculous spending habits (can you tell she doesn're read these threads)

hee hee........

Unforunately I'm suiffering from the "bigger boat" syndrome - and can't seem to shake it............

[bigray]

Go ahead and get 2 RV's. I have two. And when pitch the idea of a boat to my wife I'm going to say I don't see anything wrong with having 2 RV's and a boat.....Horst has 2 RV's and a boat.

[Andy Illes]

LMAO Ray, good one!!!!  Yeah, that oughtta convince her, huh?  If I were you though, I'd wait till Horst gets to a 200' Italian MegaYacht, then you could really move up, lol.

Horst, I found it... bad setting was all.  I just saw your pic and I'm with you, I like that better than the orig too.  I didn't realize you could interchange grilles.  Next time I'm at that Daytona junkyard with all the old Dodge (and other) vans, I'm gonna get one.

[Horst]

I don't have no boat! (Unless you call my 86 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser Station Wagon a boat - which it is)

Andy - the 72,73 Dodge Grills fits "almost" perfectly - not all the screw holes match up  - but you don't need to use them all anyways - 8 or so screws holds that grille in place just fine - the headlight area matches up perfectly though.
I spent almost two years looking for one that was in good enough condition to install on my Clipper - but I like the results - and seems to let more air in as well.

[Andy Illes]

Poor Ray.... there goes his boat  

Horst... no cooling problems (after the road-trip-fixes anyway, lol) and my stock grille looks pretty good after it's patch/paint.  But like I said, I'm with you on just liking the chrome one better.  I don't know about out there, but junkyards down in this corner don't keep old stuff.  The only place I've found that has any of our vintage is the one up in Daytona I keep talking about.... it has literally dozens!!  Not worried about screws, I didn't put all mine back in anyway when I had it out.

Hey Rastaman... any "old" junkyards over around Tampa?  Be an excuse to visit...  

[bigray]

when you said "bigger boat" syndrome I took that as you had a boat and wanted to get a larger one. Didn't realize you were refering to the RV. My mistake..........like Andy said, there goes my boat!

[Horst]

yeah - just a figure of speech
applies to boats, motorhomes, trailers, guns, houses, generators, lawn mowers, computer screens, TVs, and many other items.........

You always want a "bigger" one(s)................applies to certain parts of male, and female, anatomy as well............

[bigray]

I don't want a bigger one I just want to use what I have more. Of course I'm talking about my RV. :lol:

[Horst]

I want to use mine more too!!
But she is getting a bit old.................

I too am talking about my RV of course...................
:wink:

[bigray]

Funny the similarity of the things one cherishes!

[dig]

25 replies and two pictures??? I thought I would see at least 20 clean Clipper pics  :lol:

This one is awesome. Belongs to the Smith's in Reno -




The Rallys have some very nice Clippers. My Clip is a litte humbled amongst the beauties

[bigray]

[Horst]

simply......AWESOME!

Could you (or someone) ask the Smith's where they got that air dam?
I  want one just like that!

thanks
Horst

There would probably be more pictures posted if there was an easy way!  We're not geeks, and between the two of us we can usually get things done, but we've tried- and failed- several times to post pictures, not that our Clipper could win a beauty contest, although it is a beauty in our eyes!   It would be great if this website provided an actual image attachment feature instead of the confusing roundabout option currently available.

By the way guys, is that the same vinyl covering on those cabinets and the fridge that we had in our camper???  We had a hell of a time removing that stuff from ours, but it sure does look good without it!
