Boys, boys, boys.... brute force isn't always the ONLY way to get things done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
A poor, helpless female in a "broken down" 914 that just happened to come to rest in front of this guy's open gate might have a little better luck??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

QUOTE(Grelber @ Jan 5 2007, 01:10 AM) Betty: What did you find? (you can tell me, Clay will NEVER find our you went). Ok... but you have to PROMISE not to tell him!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Well, I've driven past a couple of times and the gate's been locked tight. This last time, I moseyed by (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) and wonder-of-wonders, the gate is hanging wide open! I do the whole coast to a stop, put the hazards on, hop out and pop the engine lid, rummage around in there for a minute (secretly disabling the car - Hey, I DO have some knowledge) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) , throw my hands up in disgust (somebody could've been watching from the property!) and started trudging up the so-called driveway. I've never SEEN so many exotic cars sitting around in what is effectively somebody's yard! There were some pretty wild looking shapes under torn tarps and ratty looking car covers. I KNOW I saw some 914's sitting off a ways too... and one of them looked like it could've been After I made friends with the two dogs that had come running up and had about bowled me over; two very LARGE dogs (I wasn't going to be allowed to go ANY FURTHER until they had slobered on me suitably and had satisfied themselves that I was their kind of person); all three of us ambled up to the front door. No answer; so I wandered around to the garage-type looking area (we're talking parts and disassembled cars sitting EVERYWHERE); all the time hollering "HELLO... anybody here?". I turn the corner and this scary looking guy pops out from behind a car that is up on jackstands, about causing me to have a heart attack. I'm pretty sure the welding mask (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) painted like some crazed monster might have had something to do with the initial shock... He pulls off the mask and I get a good look at him.... yep, first impression was right, we're talking SCAREEEEE. He looks to be older than me, his hair was sticking out in every direction, he had on the dirtiest mechanic's overalls I've ever seen (although I could still pick out some of the Porsche patches) and his hands were incredibly torn up and dirty! I introduced myself - he wasn't about to tell me his name, but I could hear faint traces of some accent, couldn't make out what kind, when he did finally speak. He was acting real suspicious of me at first; I had no business being there, blah, blah, blah, but I turned on the poor, defenseless female whose car quit charm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) and he finally agreed to look at my car. He seemed very impressed (or puzzled) by the fact that I'd made friends with the two dogs (the names engraved on their collars were "Turbo" and "Ferry") and that they hadn't barked their heads off to let him know a stranger was trespassing! I mentioned that I was driving a Porsche 914 and that I'd thought he might be able to help me because of all the cool cars he had parked around. He kind of smirked and said something along the lines of "don't you mean a Volkswagen"; I laughed and said I'd heard that joke a bunch of times but when I drive him, he feels all Porsche! On the way back to my car, I casually mentioned that I thought I'd seen a few 914's sitting way off to the side, "You don't get to see many of those down here in Texas"... All he would say was that I had a good eye. We walked about another 50 feet or so, me scritchin' doggie ears as we walk, and then he grudgingly asked if I'd like to take a look at the 914's... Oops... other duties call... more later.... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Hope that wasn't a crazed ol' 914 car owner with messed up hair and dirty overall's coming back like in a bad horror flick.
Geez, talk about a cliffhanger! Waiting to hear, "The rest of the story". (Thankfully I "can't" read the boards at work, or I woulda been wondering all day long.) |

The guy I car pool with stopped in yesterday after work. It took a while for the guy to warm up to him. Dont know why he could be a twin to the dad on family guy. Anyway I was not along he told me the guys name is Arden or something along those lines. He is verrrry up tight because some one ratted him in to code enforcement and he has 2 weeks to remove all the cars. Tim said he talked to the guy for about half an hour and he has tons of kit cars a couple of twin turbos a bunch if kit cars some V8 powered VWs there is a Pantera half wedged into a garage that he stopped driving when the exhaust rusted off. there is a couple of Lambos and some other exotic stuff. He said there is a pile of engines that you have to see to believe. The guy is in a panic mode because it is his hoby and he said it may be he went over the top. He is looking for a big building he can put it in. Tim offered to help him move it or store some of it at his place out here in Murphy. The guy said he may take him up on the help. If he does Ill be there also.

If he does Ill be there also. That sucks! Code enforcement in the few cities I'm familiar with is "rampant". Can't seems to get anything from the cops when you need to, but there's plenty of "Sentinels" for CE... If it doesn't look trashy, maybe some letters could have better than a non-impact. Once Code Enforcement gets ahold of something though, things can get pretty ugly. In WF, if you were cited for an "eye-sore" vehicle, it HAD to be junked in 10 days or you had drive it up to court for verificaion that it's legal and drivable. I was afraid when I had my first 914 that the city would come and cite me for it. My neighbor had a nice white Chevy P/U that he had a wreck in. He was working day and night to get it back in shape (the front end was messed up, he was replacing fenders, front clip, and doing some engine work) and even kept it tarped over. City came and said be done in 24 hours; get it out; or we're going to fine you some obscene amount a day. Another week and he would have had it finished... I read the code once when I had a vehcile Someone tell me which councilor to write to or call. Of course, I'd need a little more information... |

The problem is that you can never tell him now about the forum - because he will be thinking we are all stalking him!
