Man, I almost posted the same question last week, but thought not too...
I wish him luck. Sometimes you have to move on. I don't recall him ever ASKING us to raise money for his bail...we did that because we felt it was the right thing to do. Best of luck...we'll be here when you want to poke your head in. |

Why would anyone think Brad owns US squat! Listen, I started that bail money post. If you sent in money expecting something in return you need to re-think your priorities. I did it because he would have done it for any one of you guys or gals if the tables were turned. Any number of the people that hang here have benifited from Brads selfless generosity. he's gone though some crap that would turn some of you to jello. Brad knew nothing about our rally week and actually was a little humbled by it. He's been trying to move on for some time now. Let him be.
Come on people now Smile on your brother, Everybody get together try to (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) one and other right now,,,, |

Whoa.
I don't think anyone thinks Brad owes us anything.... Well other than the good old common courtesy of a "hey headed out, shoot me a Email if you wanna get ahold of me, cause I'm not checking this site anymore." I'm hoping its a miscommunication. And that in reality perhaps he said "Gawd, I'm slammed, burned, wasted, and shit is out of control. I'm going to be back burnering the Club, I'm not coming on there to check anything for now, we'll see how it is in another 6-10 months." Formyself, At this point I know I don't fit in a 914, and I'm not going to ever have one as my car. Its going to be a 911. I have no way of driving a 914, and I'm not going get one. But. I'm still going to check this board here and there to shoot the shit. |

you know, there has been rumors about a "stretched" 914 ... you'd think one could also make it a bit wider and higher at the same time, kind of a jumbo 914 ... btw. have you ever thought about a career as a pro WWE wrestler? you look like you wouldn't have any problems picking up the "Big Show" and hurl him through the ring ...

How big are you? I'm 6'4" and I can fit in my 914 with the backpads taken out. You may also consider taking out the backpad and moving back/modifying the sliders? And a smaller steering wheel? I guess if youve already decided you cant drive a 914 you've thought about this, I just hate to see someone give up without doing a little (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) first (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

I can't predict the future but I have a hard time believing he's out of 914's for good. I think he'll be back into the cars some day. Maybe he won't be involved in this club but I think he'll be around. So I don't think it would have been goodbye, just a "so long for now".
Alas, we may never know if he's not returning our phone calls because he's done with us, or just because it's brad-as-usual (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |

6 foot 10, 350 pounds. Only some of its fat!
I bought a Tenner a bit ago. I pulled the seat, sat on the floor boards, back against the firewall, and still hit the steering wheel with my knees with the clutch in and gas to the floor, with my head was about a inch from the roof. I should have joined the WWF Andy. I bounced at bars for about 10 years though, kinda like the WWF without the speedo. I don't wanna do the speedo. Looking back, as much as I would have made in the WWF, I should have done that. |

Theres a video of Wilt Chamberlin somewhere fitting in a 914 at a charity race (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I love my 912's leg room. I dont even have the seat back all the way and its just perfect. Cars are made for the 95th percentile male, so some people are left out... oh well, Im good at basketball (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

suby torque rules Group: Members Posts: 1,525 Joined: 20-July 03 From: maryland, the land of 25 year Member No.: 924 |
ed i have an idea, with a suby engine in the car i could move the firewall back about 5 to 8 inches ( basicly the rear glass even with the rear of the targa ) .
also with a smaller steering wheel that was tipped up a little more, and with the column shortened about 3 inches do you think you could fit as for hieght by moving the seat to a tilt with the room gained by moving the fire wall i think you would fit. for the pedals i think it could be adjusted to give another inch there too let me know, i would be willing to do the labor you just pay materials lots of good (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blowtorch.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/welder.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sawzall-smiley.gif) you could be (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif) |

Who cares? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Let it go. Hey he's just a guy that likes 914's. Can't he have other interests and aspreations (sp)without getting our permission? Lots of guys and gals that like 914's come and go. Find a new cause.

Brad's loss is sad because he contributed much to this board. I hope his decision, like many that are made in the midst of horrific events, will be re-thought when things calm down. What is he now doing?

If Brad started a thread that he said good-by in it would have gone to 16 pages, shut-down the site twice and been deleted in 4 hours.
I wish Brad good in what ever he does. I would like to thank him for what he has done here, I'm sure I'll run into him somewhere. :PERMAGRIN: Joe |
