jimrattos-mom??  ::) :o ;D

 :o :o Welcome.....  : :D

She told me last night she was signing up  ;)

Joke by the way! Welcome Mrs Ratto  ;D

 ::)

you guys....  careful she carries a big wooden spoon....and it HURTS!

   That was the lord paddle      however I think the Judge and the fines
        had a little more effect         

Hi MOM, what's for dinner?

ask sheep....he was there EVERY night!!! ::)

Hey Jim...
Think you need to post a picture of Mom next too, or in your car...  How about it? ;D

Ratto's Mom??  B.S. He was adopted after they left him and his mullet at the animal shelter!!!

Hi Jim... well, the chance of my Mom getting back in my car is pretty slim. At least when the motor is in it. About 16 years I was running a big Super Flow 2276 48IDA motor in my car...my Mom didn't know what any of that meant, so she allowed me to give her a ride to the market one day. In order to get into this Safeway driveway, you had to make a U-turn on Valley Ave in Pleasanton, and then make a right into the lot. U-turns were always my favorite, crank the wheel, roll away then push harder and harder and harder, letting it all hang out in a big sideways smoke show in the middle of downtown. Mom didn't like U-turn's too much. After that she never rode in my blue car again.

ok   Jim just called me from his bug....   you guys don't believe its really me

           Ask Jim about the time Mom had to drive him around in his bug because
     madam judge has his driver's license.        Has he told you how fast we was going
      on Bernal Avenue in front of the Alameda County Fair ground and what he raced?
     He gave me a video of his frist race at Sears Point ....I watched that bug get airborne and it
     reminded me of the very last time a rode in that car with him driving.         
      But his passion for the vw is probably because his very first Tonka car was a VW 
      I hope he still has it ...
            The story I think he always knows I tell is the time he almost cost me a new stove.
    It was when we lived in Livermore and we had a new GE self cleaning range.   While I was
     out Mr Jim had painted some of his car parts....BLUE and baked them in my oven.   
     However,   the little darling got that damn blue paint on the liner of my self cleaning
     oven.       I think I could have taken that bug apart I was so mad.   I called GE and they
    connected me with one of their chemist....he sort of laughed which made me angerier
     of course they had never heard of such a situation but warned me not to turn it back on
      and by all means do not turn on the self cleaning...the damn thing will explode.
      About 4 hours later the chemist called me back and told me to try baby oil on a Scotch
      Brite pad....I didn't have baby oil but did have mineral oil .....so while having the GE guy on
     the line I tried it.....Mineral oil saved Jimmy's ass.     But we did have to purchase a new
     Dishwasher because he cleaned his car parts in it and the grease did not come off the interior    and sort of jammed of the pump.     Oh my Jim and that Car
     
 

Hi Rudi. Tell Andy I say hello.

John Bates.

 No Carlos Jim wasn't adopted  but we had to buy a new car after he was born
 We had a VW fast back and the seats were too high for me to be able to reach him in the
back....I can't remember if it was 70 or 71 but it was dark green, similar to british racing green with white interior....a cool car.

Next DKP meeting moves to Ratto's Mom's house.... Dinner for, let's say 35...

This isn't a Norman Bates thing , is it?

What does my uncle have to do with this?  ::)

Does your Uncle run around wearing dresses with creepy music in the backround?

Nice one mom. Now you've got 35 guys over for dinner and wanting to clean their cases in your dishwasher.

Do you know him?  ;D

wonders if Jim is Living a Double Life?  ;D ;D

Jim,
You better hope your Mom doesn't figure out how to post pictures !
 :D

I think we could easily set up a special tutorial just for her.

in fact fabs/speedwell did, it's the first in line under off-topic. ;D

;D ;D ;D yep dieds  ;)

no kidding Richard. She's got an ark full of old funny stuff I am sure. In fact the picture lingering around here of me with my "80's hair" in tux, sitting in my room with motor parts on carpet is from her. She gave it to my wife, as proof that I ruined the carpet as a kid, with cranks and cases and so on. I think there are others where I have grease covering just about our entire zip code.

That's it for You Dude, Move over to my place. There's plenty of room between the compressor and workingbench. But bring your music collection. ;D

Mrs. Ratto Mom, can you tell us about Jim's first gay experience?

 ::)
gay as in cheerful? : having a gay old time

 ;) ;D

The rainbow kind!

Holy shit, I was waiting for someone to go there!!!! Hahahahaahaha
