[alfa] Re: Throttle Cable Blues...

["Greg McNair" <gmcnair@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now were those Ernie Ball Super Slinkys or Dean Markley vintage bronze?

Loved the story, and enjoyed the tag line about the "18% more..."   I'd
swear one of
your literary influences is Peter Egan.

Rock on!  :>)

Subject: [alfa] Throttle Cable Blues...

So... I was driving home from work on Tuesday when my throttle cable
snapped. Called my dad, he came down with tools, and we jury rigged
some speaker wire to get home. That's about when I realized that nobody
seems to sell throttle cables for a Spider. Rather than just go the
easy way and get some generic cable and make my own, we decided to be a
bit different. His 12 string guitar became an 11 string, but it seems
to work so far (25 spirited miles).
