This morning I received this email from a fellow in the Netherlands..
Dear Porsche 914 enthusiast, My name is Marc Veenhuis and I come from the Netherlands, I love beautiful cars as long as I can remember. Because I have a bad version of Scheuermann spine disease I am handicapped and I have to spend most of my time at home, this is why I started collecting car emblems, a hobby what is very interesting to me, my brother in law made a web-site for me, you can take a look at it on www.MarcVeenhuis.com or http://home.hetnet.nl/~carnut8/ if you like, lots of car badges are shown on it. But I haven't got a 914 badge (nameplate), maybe you have got a spare, old or slightly damaged Porsche 914 badge for my collection, I really would love to receive it. Maybe it is even possible to print my request in your club magazine, that would be a real honour. I have been contacting you before but I have not been able to expand my collection due to recent trouble with a nerve in my spine which paralized my right leg, many hospital visits followed I have been treated in the St. Maarten Clinic in Nijmegen so I was in good hands, now I try to walk again step by step behind my rollator with a complete leg brace, 2 knee braces and 2 braces to protect my spine and to fill up the time between practicing and physiotherapy I try to pick up collecting again but I still haven't got a 914 badge in my collection. I will appreciate your help very much, thank you for reading my e-mail request. Enjoy your great cars ! With kind regards and respect, Marc Veenhuis Boomgaard 10 7021 KZ Velswijk - Zelhem The Netherlands -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attached image(s) |

Haboobie, ex-play ground monitor of Nigeria..." Trying to corner the market of used 914 emblems? Just Kidding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |

The Dutch always want something for free. Why do you think they came up with the term "Dutch Treat!!!"!

By the way: My name is George Hussey and I collect Lionel trains. Many say that I have a severe medical problem, that being that I am a big as.hole! I sit around all day pining for that last great train piece I need to add to my collection. I am e mailing all of you so you can have sympathy for my medical condition and donate any Lionel train or accessory you may have so that I may enhance my collection.
Please send them for free and prepay the freight so that I may add to my collection at your expense, and please feel very sorry for me! |

i fail to see where he states ANYWHERE he wants it for FREE, shipping included. it's not like he's selling a fucked up a piece of shit advertised as "DELUXE" LE valance that doesn't fit and looks like it's been thrown down a flight of stairs, that the consumer has to pay the return shipping on.

That was the free one. Do you have any Lionel trains for me? Maybe I fail to read the humor or maybe it's clearly stated when you claim to be an asshole but posts like yours are the reason this place gets out of hand. Indeed you did Alberto. Unfortunately there are Many Many Many members here without a sense of humor. After 30 years I still have mine though! I sincerely apologize for offending you and will make note. |

thank you !
I really do not want to offend anyone. The bottom line here is that the Dutch girl Hilde Dejonckheere who works here, knows of this guy and he asks for free stuff all of the time! She says the dutch are the cheapskates of the world but also have all of the money in europe!!!!!!!!!!!!! (after all they used to own Manhattan!) so they must be doing something right! Any one have any Lionel trains they want to sell? Post war preferred? |
