(I hope Brad reads this)

Brad Roberts has arguably done more good for the 914 community than any other single individual. He always gave and NEVER recieved. For all the many hours he donated to this community, $10,000 bail money is a pittance. He owes this community nothing, but we owe him a lot. If taking a fork in the road is how Brad needs to deal emotionally with his life I wish him only the best. Anyone who had a problem with that is being selfish. Let him do what he has to do and wish him well. And be willing to welcome him back with a smile and pat on the back if he decides to join us again.

Take care, Brad.

Best Regards,
Ben M.

easy guys... we've all benefited from brad's work here -- as far as i'm concerned, he has absolutely no debt to the collective club. if he needs to move on with his life, that's his decision. he's not a demi-god.

I agree.

yea, don't get me wrong, I owe Brad a big thanks for all the help he's given me, and I wish him nothing but the best, but I just wish he'd have told us himself, instead of finding out through the admins... that's all...

Once the Wine and Cheesers find out he has teener in his blood they will turn on him (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/alfred.gif) We'll alway be here though kinda like that stray dog that hangs out under your porch. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Its there and will watch out for you but some times snaps at you just because.

On doubt in my mind this is good for him. Brad has done way too fucking much for anyone to say shit about him.

I am sure Brad has his reasons, remember he left the head honcho post last year to work on other stuff.
Hopefully, things will finally work out for him....sometimes bad luck is better than no luck at all.

I'm sorry to hear this. I had a great time meeting Brad at the WCC, and I appreciate everything he's done for the 914 community. I have a feeling he'll be back. I don't think anybody can leave the 914 Club for good.

Good luck Brad, and hopefully you'll come to your senses and we'll see you at next years WCC. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I think ya owe me some beer! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

We'll miss ya buddy.

I think change can be good for people.... but a "good bye" to friends is good for friendships. A simple goodbye is not unreasonable, considering the group of friends here that stood behind him.

I talked to Brad for several years online before meeting him in person at the WCC this year. I'm sure whatever reason he decided to leave was the right reason at the time.

He has Narp rust in his blood and when he decides to join back in the madness here, I will hand him a (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beer.gif)

Without him and the others behind this place we all wouldn't have ever met (even if it's virtual meetings in some cases).

Brad if your reading this, good luck and see ya later...

Brad took time out of his schedule, to listen to my story, then he basically made me not dump 914s completely.. they probably have him in an reedumacation camp....

"What is the best Porsche ever made?"

"... nine.... nine... fourtee... for..." -water splash/electrical noises-

We need a plan, to break him out.

I can't find any other intelligence on this place... it's locked down, and there are no sat pics of it, because of restrictions?

Here's the map of the place MI6 thinks Brad is being held at:

Hey gang, when you're up to your ass in alligators it's sometimes hard to remember you only started out to drain the swamp....Brad has had a "rare" couple of years with everything that went on, cut him some slack....Yes, it would have been more comfortable if he had said goodbye, and he still may when he is ready. I can't believe that he'll walk away from these cars and the people who love them forever, I think he just needs clear air and the emotion of a goodbye can be tough....he has a good heart, in my opinion....we'll see him again when he sorts his shit out...give him some space. My .02. And Brad, if you're lurking, what are you doing for blue rags now......take care. We'll miss you...

Yup, Brad, you will be sadly missed. Fortunately you've moved on to bigger and better things.

Now, if you'd only write a book or something so we'd all know what you know... "secret combinations to suspensions"

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

So what if he didnt say goodbye... Thats not his style.

Just like an old Western, he rides off into the sunset...

Maybe he'll return one day. Maybe not. But we'll all agree, he left this town a better place... (fade to black) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

OK, somebody write a screenplay about this whole thing. MTV Awards here we come! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Seriously, he has been through hell the last 2 years. Let him regroup.

and doesn't he still have a court date?


#4 hell......won't it ever end.


I did the same thing (10+ years ago) when I had 3 bad years in a row. Lawsuit, got ripped off and a marriage that went south. My solution was to buy a 914! Boy, another stupid thing to add to the pile of bad mojo. So I really just disappeared and changed the company I kept, like a new beginning. Actually, it did work and now my old friends are back in my life along with the old.
