The show was a spin-off of a highly successful episode of Happy Days that starred Robin Williams as Mork, an extraterrestrial who comes to Earth from the planet Ork in a small, one-Orkan egg-shaped spaceship and Pam Dawber as Mindy McConnell, his human friend and roommate, and later his wife and the mother of his child.

Description: Founded in 1978, BMX Plus! Magazine is the longest running BMX publication the world has ever known. They were there as BMX racing was born until their final issue in 2015 making it 37 years straight without missing a single issue.

Description: 1978's Lil' Red Express Truck was one of the most unique trucks ever produced. The Lil' Red Express was not only a real looker but also a real performer, so much so that it was named fastest American made vehicle from 0 to 100 MPH as tested by Car and Driver Magazine. Because of a loophole in the emissions regulations, the 1978 Dodge Lil' Red Express Truck's didn't have catalytic converters, what they did have was a special high-performance 360 small block which was a modified version of the police 360 producing 225 net horsepower @ 3800 RPM. The package also included Hemi style mufflers with a crossover pipe breathing through 2 chrome stacks located behind the cab, a special 727 transmission, and 3.55:1 rear gearing.
