    I have a pic of our 2 best coon hounds which of course I can't find on this stupid phone, but they were truly refined Bobcat runners in the Winter as well.

    Dixie Dog had a voice on her like she smoked cigars, and Molly Dog didnt sound like a hound at all, she'd cut a fresh Cat track, and start a high pitced bellow......

    We'd hear that, and know it was "game on" with old Dixe Dog following behind smoking white Owls....

    They don't build dogs like that anymore, the same goes for the XP'S, and GT'S.....

    What I miss the most about the ol carb motors was the smell of two stroke.
