You are so right. Victor is the Guru on Roadsters. Watching him put parts
back together is
amazing. Hmm, how did you come up with the name Ethel for your car?

Subject: The kindred spirit and good kharma of fellow rocer's
To all the roadster owners out there that have ever needed help on their
cars, I have to say that this last Saturday was a testament to the spirit
and comradery of helping a fellow rocer in need.
The one in need was me. The problem was the 66' 1600 that I purchased last
month and have had no clue on where to begin to make it road worthy enough
to become my weekend driver...
Between the previous owners bubble gum and bailing wire solutions and my own
inexperience with the roadster idiosynchrocies, I was at a loss...
To the rescue!!! Dun dah dah dahhhhh!!! who comes swooping into my
driveway tools and parts in hand? The main man with da master plan! Victor
and His trusty sidekick, Steve!
These guys had my car up on jack stands, manifolds apart, gaskets getting
sealed and my car running like a champ by days end... It was truly amazing
to have other people that I have never met and barely even spoken to via
email drop there own projects to come over on a Saturday afternoon and give
me a thorough lesson on the inner workings of my new toy. Sure I had to
take a lot of crap that was easily blamed on the previous owner, but what a
small price to pay in exchange for making some new friends and learning how
to keep good old Ethel alive!!!
Victor and Steve, I wanted the whole list to know that roadster owners, and
especially you guys, are some of the nicest, coolest people I've ever met!!!
You guys are rocer's to the bone, and I really appreciate your help and
experience.
The next tune up day at my house is hopefully not to far off... Anyone
living Southern California that's interested, keep your eyes open for the
alert... I've got a nice clean area in the back of my house that can fit up
to 5 or 6 roadsters maybe even more. I've also got a couple really cute
neighbors (Paige & Melissa) that said they'll be happy to make us lunch and
brings us beers!!!
Thanks Victor and Steve
