Forgive me Father for I have sinned.

After having been away from the VW scene for 15 years, I threw away a 20 year collection of carburetor jets (Weber,Zenith & Solex) and related bits.   Only now having returned to the flock, do I realize the the folly of my actions.

Though not quite rust free about 15 years ago I cut up a salvageable right hand drive '54 rag top shell because I couldn't find a cheap pan to put it on.  Cry

In penance I shall forever want another one and not b able to afford it.  Sad

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.

I disposed of 36 hp engines in a landfill or burned them at Glamis, rather than preserve them for future generations.

For my penance I shall.....

Like Hell I will....I enjoyed killing the weak suck asthmatic pieces of junk. And I'd do it again, if I could...HA  HAHA  Grin Grin


Did I take my meds today??
