Johnny Sparkle needs Help In Colona, IL broke down on his way to Torque Fest

Johhny's Stude Engine gave out in his T sedan and has a rod knocking. Can anyone trailer his car to a safe location or have a place he can have it towed to? His cell is (812)841-2639

He is near Colona, IL on I-80

Help a Brotha out....

 

I got no one on the list even close. I'm even looking in IA.

 

Btt

 

There's gotta be someone in the Quad Cities. It's not like he's in Piatt County or anything.

 

OK, I called and gave Mr Sparkle a name and number of a HAMB guy that lives just south west of Davenport. IA. If he can't help maybe he knows of someone that's closer to east of Davenport in IL where Johnnie's at.

 

maybe hit up some of the czars up there?

 

Cool. This place is better than AAA.

 

If he were in Piatt county or even Champaign county, we would already be secure and spooning.

All I can do is go by area codes for folks that are close

 

Cool, I sent him Bill's number as I think he's nearby.

 

Thanks Scott and Denise.

My little buddy is probably standing there in a thunderstorm from the looks of the radar.....

 

I told him to rain x up so he should be fine.

 

That's cool. I just figured there has to be somebody from the HAMB around there. Maybe not.

 

I believe the guy's number I sent him is near Davenport... I know the guy, just can't remember his HAMB name to save my life.

 

The guys number that I gave him is Kurt AKA GasPumps

 

damn man I wasnt that far away from there then now im 100 miles away

 

Update: He removed a plug wire and is limping it to a safe local in the Quad City area. It's running rough (the background racket was awful).

 

Johnny just called Plowboy, who is here at my place, and said he has the car tucked safely away now. he just has to figure out how to get it home. Of course he is going to the show first.

Thanks HAMB.

 

I'm heading down to pick him up. He has some friend's staying near the event.

 

Alrighty. I have the car at a fella's place in Moline. Denise's contact referred me to another person, who referred me to another person, who referred me to a Tom Hogg. He's let me store the car until I pick it up. I've rented a U-haul and plan on picking it up tomorrow. Good stuff. Car people are awesome, trhanks for the help everyone.

Slammed, you are a crazy person, but you totally rock. Thanks man!

Anyone wanna buy a lightly used sedan?

 

Oh yeah, thanks Denise!

 

You're welcome sweetie. I'm glad everything worked out OK and you were still able to make it to the event. Hope you had a good time despite everything else. See ya soon bud!

 

Guess you car will never make it in a magazine now... That's sad. The good news is that in a thunderstorm, you probably won't get struck by lightning. Sucks about the engine.. maybe its time for the supercharged one?

I forgot to thank Kurt "Gaspump," and Don Valley for the help with tracking down someone to help.

Thanks to Tom Hogg from Moline, he let a complete stranger park a car in the way in his shop, and didn't even mind the massive oil puddle it left. Plus he gave me a $25 Applebees gift card, just because. He might be a Hamber, not really sure. Super nice guy.

 

Hey - Johnny Sparkle - when ya see me at a show this summer - tell me you were the cat that broke down on the road to Torque Fest- I will try to hook you up with a little something!

Hope you had a good time at the show

 

Just saw this. Glad it got squared away.
