LOOK What I Found 3-Miles From My House

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Engine Pro 5X, Mar 26, 2009.

  1. Ok I was waiting for the right time to unvail my next project so here goes. You know how these stories go !! Sometime back my GOOD FRIEND Dolbs4082 tells me about a Model A sitting in this cats garage and that I should check it out. So 1 thing led to another and I messed around and kinda forgot about the car and so forth. Then Dolbs reminds me again so it gets my attention back on the car. So off I go on the hunt for this infamous car and garage !! So after a hour and a half drive, ""I had to stop and visit with some of the elder farmers for directions LOL"" I end up 3 whopping miles from home and strike up a new friendship and a car deal all at the same time. So if you call me lucky or even better yet you might ask Dude is it your Birthday or what ?? The answer is Hell Yes I'm Lucky and A Matter Of Fact It Is My Birthday !!!!! Now Known as The Half Century Engine Pro5x >>>>.

    thats awesome- all i have around me is more suburbia!

    I did find out that my neighbor across the way has a rare old Datsun turbo on jack stands just wasting away- I'm still working him to give me the car (don't know where I'm going to put it though)

  28. Happy Birthday, you're getting close the the Old Farts Club, and that's a good thing.
    It's not a present if you had to pay for it! But it's still a great find.
