My intro: since somebody won't stop bitchin'

I've been lurking here for quite some time, and only recently (as you can see) registered to post. Yes, I have VW's. Yes, I know they are not welcome here. But, I registered so I could PM folks with other interests. I've been around street rods since my brother built his "C-Cab" Model T and a A chassis, with a built flathead engine with Fenton heads, Offy manifold, and 3 Stromberg 97 carbs. I'm building a "composite" car- with a traditional dropped I-beam axle and transverse leaf spring and hairpin radius rods, but on a frame (floorpan, actually) that most of you would not approve of. Yes, I do have respect for a lot of the builders and crafters of cars on this board; they are what I aspire to be. I am NOT repeat NOT trying to convert anyone to my style of car. I've learned a lot from a lot of the posts here, and hopefully will continue to do so. There's been a couple of folks on here that have asked VW related questions, and I have taken the liberty to PM them with answers, in order to keep that brand of car content to a minimum on this board.
If anyone wants me to log-out and go away, I can do that, as well. But I'll still be "lurking and learning"...

Amen to that

did someone mention 'naziwagons'? reminds me of when some guy called my bug a 'nazi staff car' because his girlfriend was eyeing up my beetle bear in mind that i am a 6'5" 18 stone skinhead and at the time was carrying a louisville slugger behind my seat, and a blank firing glock 17 - but instead of violence, i thought it'd be more educational to whup his mundane-o with a 30year old car....

 

It wasn't the VWs that got the HAMB boys ticked off, it was the crappy intro title & a-hole attitude the guy came in here with. Why the Hell should anyone here welcome an a- hole who does an intro so "somebody will stop bitchin"? Its no wonder he got the "go the fuck away" reception. I don't think anyone here wants to run off someone willing to listen & learn. Attitude is everything. I ain't saying new guys should kiss ass- just don't come into Ryan's garage w/ a friggin' chip the size of a bowling ball on yer shoulder.

 

Phew, glad my intro came and went with no backlash, of course i didn't insult the entire board or say I like VW's either.
To me VW's are like big women.......Or was that mopeds and big women??

Pray tell, what does one do with a blank firing Glock 17? Pretend to shoot someone? It sounds like having a cut-away demonstration engine in a hot rod.

Or is it like in that Guy Ritchie movie where the two guys have guns that say 'replica' on the side? LOL

Not tryin' to jerk your chain, just curious about what a fella does with a gun that don't shoot.

 

ONE: isn't pulling a "blank firing Glock" on someone a good way to find yourself dead?

TWO: WHY THE FUCK IS THIS STILL ON PAGE ONE?!!

 

since this post is about shot i guess i'll put in my two pesos.

 

I'm sorry

 

Hey I shoot blanks, you assholes.

it will more than likely get your ass beat even harder, or pistol whipped harder by the perp your up against!

 

I have a request now that this post is back on the first page again. Can we stop responding to it so it goes away? Please... Nine pages wasted talking about this guy?
