ZARDOZ

One of a carefully bred race of supervisors, the Exterminators, who oversee the labors of the neanderthal Brutals, since in 1993, with most of the Earth's surface off-limits as a polluted Outlands, civilized society has been abandoned.

All worship Zardoz, who makes periodic visits to Earth to pick up grain consignments and issue bizarre statements involving the male anatomy.


Director John Boorman's ZARDOZ presents the "perfect society" of the late 23rd century, in which no one dies and age is meted out as punishment.

Quentin,
Borg Warner?
You never said...

Hey, I got a 51 Willys Overland Woody station wagon, with the orginal T90 three speed, and model 18 transfer case.
Does anyone still make the cluster gear, with 33, 26, 19 teeth, for the T90?
Got one tooth sheared off, dont want to try a get it welded.
And you gotta love the transfer case, all gears, none of those darn chain belts...

You are never, ever, ever, ever, to mention that name three times in a row. It may bring it back from the dead.

and by the way. My rear window regulator is dead in my 93 4Runner. Got any of the nylon gears lying around so I don't have to get a whole new regulator.

Never,ever,ever,ever? Sounds serious- one less ever and I would have tried it!
email me on the regulator.

....With my blessings....Jen. It is a world wide Corporation. Our Muncie plant is one of the originals. Originally called "Warner-Gear Co of Borg-Warner Corp". Our local plant was one of the original four that formed Borg-Warner Corp....Now you know the rest of the story.
We have made automotive power-train components for over a hundred years....Some products: Automatic Transmissions, Manual Trans....Older fellows will remember the famous "T-10"...Automatic locking hubs..[for 4-whl drive], and others...All developed in our Engineering Lab. Including the famous 6-speed manual now in the Viper, but that line has since been sold to Tremac in Mexico. Main product now is Transfer Cases for 4-wheel dr. vehicles. Ford, GM, and others.
