Title: 1288 Heather: VW household smack dab in cooter-V8-country
Post by: Jim Ratto on January 31, 2008, 04:14:05 am
John Bates and S.O.D.A  and Derek can back me up here, they spent as much time there as I did, or so it seems.
Imagine a 3 bedroom house divided up among fellow W guys and always some non VW guy. There were some good times around that house, as far as car stuff goes. It is amazing the place could be sold years later. We've already talked about the garage fires, engine break-ins. How about the 8000rpm pass you made one day, John, just to give Erik a hard on for you? Or the primer GTO with the huge meats and wheelie bars that would call us out everyday whe, n the guy passed the house? It was like clockwork when that good ol boy would come 'round the bend.....shit howdy! The countless raw-chicken BBQ nights and bleeding asses at work the next day, the night Aaron J. brought over about 9 lbs of hamburger meat for a party of 6.... Howabout the night Erik was putting springs in his heads and barked at Jaimie and he got tossed out on his ear? (Sean: :"Bye")...the knock-offs on the Porsche hubcaps, the 48IDA book ends, the hours and hours of the Porsche video, Le Mans, leaving Autocraft rockers and Vertex mags on the kitchen counter just to get Erik wound up ("who's that MAG for, guy?"), adjusting carbs with the door closed, keeping Mickey in at night, recycling trips in the wheelstander single cab... what did I forget? Maybe that we should have put a padlock on the fridge when Wenzel was coming over.

Can't forget the Pink bathroom. Who the fuck paints their bathroom NEON PINK? If you didn't have a hang over going in, you sure did coming out.

Oh and Russ with his dominatrix 14 year old girlfriend who made him bark like a dog while all of us were in the living room watching LeMans , My Cousin Vinny or that Derek Bell Porsche documentary. How did that dork get such a hot girlfriend?

They've been there about 10 years. Does that fit the time frame?

I drove by your old house a couple a days ago. I had to drop Linsey off over by there. Still looks the same except that they planted grass where the rocks where. What about hard cider and heater tubes?

What about the yeast growing in the intakes off my back up motor (1641 36 Dell motor). I sold it to Tim Supriano and he said there was a loaf of bread in the 041 heads. Which one of you fuckers poured a beer down the ports?

Bryan you should remember the night we fought with your windshield weatherstrip until 2am and almost threw it in the street.

Oh man, I remember all the days and nights hanging around there watching those videos, daydreaming about crazy motors (the never-finished 2.6 type 4), prepping for the Raymond road or Franks old house drag-strip nights. :)

How many hundreds of pizzas and cases of beer were consumed there?

Holy guacamole! This thread has all of the makings for good times.

Barley pop(s) poured down the intake of a cylinder head.
Pink bathroom.
48IDA bookends.
Knockoffs on Porsche hubcaps.
Dominatrix girlfriend.

And too many other good things. But the best... Le Mans. One of my alltime favorite movies. I watch it a lot. Thanks for the entertainment, guys.

Carry on.

Oh man! I totally forgot about that too!!  That was freaky!  We must have watched LeMans and the Derek Bell in the 917 videos hundreds of times.
