1969 Imperial progress thread

bajajoaquin · Mar 5, 2014

Interesting. I wonder if it's "not trackable" because they're using a shore-based system like LORAN or if it's "not trackable" because they're using GPS, but don't want to advertise where they are when they're out of reach of shore-based law enforcement and protection.

I also liked how it tracked different vessels according to type, so you could see fishing boats, tankers, and other things on the map. The lighthouse at Nantucket was also classified as a "vessel" which is an interesting insight into how they programmed the logic, and the way they streamlined nomenclature.

My guess is after the 22 miles they don't want to tell pirates where they are at, don't just hand it to them at least make them look.

No chance. If it doesn't break through in the middle, there is no possibility of how it could disappoint me!

Is this your shop/warehouse?

bulldogchesty · Mar 10, 2014

Keep up the status. I am excited for you. I would be climbing up the walls. Is it here yet, is it here yet, is it here yet. You get the picture.

vdk2010 · Mar 10, 2014

I'm really talkative in this matter. I'm sure some of you have noticed that!

I would burst without. ;)

OH HELL I WISH !!!!!!!!!!!

No it's a warehouse nearby me that I got to store it in until the spring for a few dollars, The draw back is that I can not access it easily. He has about 15 cars and a few boats in there for the winter. It's secure & heated which is nice. All I have will b a 2 car garage that it will barely fit in. :shruggy:

Me too.:toothy10:

vdk2010 · Mar 10, 2014

I have a big 2 car garage under my whole apartment... BUT the left garage is blocked with a supporting post in the middle of the garage... On the right side, the car would fit. BUT the patio is too small to get my cars into the garage...

Because of that, I had to rent an extra warehouse for the Imp...

C'est la vie.

My dad made me a gift last night. He has taken my FSM last week without I've noticed it.

Gave it back to me, saying: May it keep for a long time in your shop!
