914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Emergency! Anyone near San Jose?

Posted by: wwhalenc May 3 2005, 03:33 PM

Anybody know of someone trustworthy who can pick up a 914 in San Jose and store until early July? I bought a car w/ the stipulation that I would move within 3 days...I was working w/ Brad to have this towed, but I think he may be unavailable/out of town. Basically just need someon who can tow the car from the seller and hold until Brad Roberts can deliver. Let me know if you know of anyone...as always, Thanks in advance for any leads. --C wwhalenc@yahoo.com

BTW, this isn't a charity case (unless you want it to be)...let me know how much you (or they) would need to do this. --C

I can store it (outside, but with a cover) if the car driveable (it has to get up and down my driveway and I would need to move it occasionally to get my other car out) but I can't go get it until Saturday and I don't have a trailer.

I'm sure I could borrow Brad's or Mike's though.

If no one else can step up, let me know

My trailer is available (just fixed a flat tire) here in Fremont.

No go on the storage of the car however.....Pat Pickerel might have a spot for it if you ask nicely in Livermore/Pleasanton area.

Thanks guys... I think I can keep it there through Thurs so I do have a little time. ...I'll call guy number one and see if he can do. When does Brad get back anyway? Supposedly the car is driveable.

I *think* B will be back on Thursday, but might be busy. If someone can collect it you can store it here. I might be able to get it indoors, otherwise it has to be driveable. B could deliver it to my place, if he collects it.

R, So far you're the closest. If worst comes to worse perhaps I could pay to have it towed to your place. I don't know your exact address, but yahoo is saying about 29 miles/ 34 minutes to get to your place from the car (zip=95125). Does that sound right? This would be huge...Thanks for even considering. --C

BTW..I just told the guys on the local club--What's up w/ 914ers? So far, everyone I've dealt with has been very kind/eager to help a newbie out. you guys are awesome.

Interesting.. This guy might be in the area w/ a tow dolly shortly. I IM'd so see if he'd be interested.

I think I only met Richard once, but I can personally vouch for all of the characters that have posted in this thread. They're all top notch guys that I'm proud to call friends. Generally speaking, the NorCal guys have always come through for me in a pinch too.

You are welcome to store it at my place in Pleasanton, there are 3 or 4 hangin around to keep it company. Things are too hectic this week for me to pick it up.

You can leave it out in front of my house...it will be very close to Brad.

I live in Milpitas.

BTW, I think Brad will be back tomorrow.

Thus Far Britain is closest! Actually as of today the car now has Temp Tags/Temp Registration and is insured (overnighting the paperwork to the previous owner). I don't think there'll be any prob leaving on the street now. Just need to get it there (probably just pay a tow guy... Although maybe I can talk the P.O. into driving?).
