Anybody have experience with these decapitators? Mine on the driver side
requires a jiggle and a tug to get it going - sounds like a lube problem,
but where?, there isn't much written about them.
any help appreciated,
thanks jon

Sorry to say, but mine have given me no trouble concerning jiggles and
tugs to get them going. Sounds like the locking mechanisms might be
broken and causing the hangs. Other than the motors getting slower each
year, the seat belts haven't been much trouble.
How many miles on yours? I've got 230,000 miles on mine and it doesn't
seem to want to quit. Other than a blown head gasket and a valve job,
the motor has been a jewel. I'm sure the bottom end could use a ring job
and new bearings, but I'm gonna run it until it dies, and THEN I still
might throw another motor into it. I still get a combined city/hwy of
27-29 MPG. Can't beat that.

Here's a pic of my '90 MX-6.

Have to take a look at them, sounds right.

Just got mine a month ago, 175,000 / new engine at 125,000 so I expect a few
commuting miles on it. First car with a sun roof - I love it, but at 6'4",
gotta duck a little.

Getting about 25, still messing with the ETC - like the power setting.

Turkey serves just as well, and in fact even
NMan - 25 Dec 2004 22:07 GMT
pineapple salad, sweet potatoes in butter, vegetable platter, tossed salad with tomato and avocado, parsley new potatoes, spinich cucumber salad, fruit salad
Bran muffins, dinner rolls, soft breadsticks, rice pilaf, croissants
Apple cake with rum sauce, frosted banana nut bread sherbet, home made brownies
Iced tea, water, beer, bloody marys, lemonade, coffee

The guests select food, beverages, silverware... everything from the buffet table.
They move to wherever they are comfortable, and sit with whoever they choose.
Provide trays so your guests will not spill everything all over your house from
carrying too much, nor will they have to make 10 trips back and fourth from the
service stations.

Roast Leg of Amputee

By all means, substitute lamb or a good beef roast if the haunch
it is in any way diseased. But sometimes surgeons make mistakes,
and if a healthy young limb is at hand, then don?t hesitate to cook
it to perfection!

1 high quality limb, rack, or roast
Potatoes, carrot
Oil
celery
onions
green onions
parsley
garlic
salt, pepper, etc
2 cups beef stock

Marinate meat (optional, not necessary with better cuts).
Season liberally and lace with garlic cloves by making incisions,
  and placing whole cloves deep into the meat.
Grease a baking pan, and fill with a thick bed of onions,
  celery, green onions, and parsley.
Place roast on top with fat side up.
Place uncovered in 500? oven for 20 minutes, reduce oven to 325?.
Bake till medium rare (150?) and let roast rest.
Pour stock over onions and drippings, carve the meat and
  place the slices in the au jus.

Bisque ? l?Enfant

Honor the memory of Grandma with this dish by utilizing her good
silver soup tureen and her great grandchildren (crawfish, crab or
lobster will work just as well, however this dish is classically
made with crawfish).

Stuffed infant heads, stuffed crawfish heads, stuffed crab or lobster shells;
  make patties if shell or head is not available
  (s

crab, or headless baby).
Flour
oil
onions
bell peppers
garlic salt, pepper, etc.
3 cups chicken stock
2 sticks butter
3 tablespoons oil

First stuff the heads, or make the patties (see index)
  then fry or bake.  
Set aside to drain on paper towels.
Make a roux with butter, oil and flour,
  brown vegetables in the roux, then add chicken stock and
  allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the patties or stuffed heads, and some loose crawfish,
  lobster, long piglet, or what have you.
Cook on low for 15 minutes, then allow it to set for at least
  15 minutes more.
Serve over steamed rice; this dish is very impressive!

Stuffed Cabbage Rolls

Babies really can be found under a cabbage leaf -
or one can arrange for ground beef to be found there instead.

8 large cabbage leaves
1 lb. lean ground newborn human filets, or ground chuck
Onions
peppers
celery
garlic
soy sauce
salt pepper, etc
Olive oil
breadcrumbs
Tomato Gravy (see index)

Boil the cabbage leaves for 2 minutes to soften.
In skillet, brown the meat in a little olive oil,
  then add onions, peppers, and celery (all chopped finely)
  and season well.
Place in a large bowl and cool.
Add seasoned breadcrumbs and a little of the tomato gravy,
  enough to make the mixture pliable.
Divide the stuffing among the cabbage leaves then roll.
Place seam down in a baking pan.
Ladle tomato gravy on top,
  and bake at 325? for 30 - 45 minutes.

Umbilical Cordon Bleu

Nothing is so beautiful as the bond between mother and child,
so why not consume it?
Children or chicken breasts will work wonderfully also.

4 whole umbilical chords (or baby breasts, or chicken breasts)
4 thin slices of smoked ham, and Gruyere cheese
Flour
eggwash (milk and eggs)
seasoned bread crumbs
1 onion
minced
salt
pepper
butter
olive oil

Pound the breasts flat (parboil first if using umbilical
  cords so they won?t be tough).
Place a slice of ham and cheese on

The mouse belts in the 89 RX7 had similar problems. In the GTUs I used
to have before getting a Miata, I had to run them to the locked position
and disable them.  Mazda finally issued a recall to have them replaced
for free.  If they are a similar mechanism there may be a recall for
them.
