VW part number system according to Sheep

[Jim Ratto]

Working a job at a VW shop tends to create unique humorous situations. Some of you have been behind the parts counter and understand what I mean.... but you didn't work with Sheep.

we worked for a guy that was great, and taught us the world, but he had a temper that wouldn't quit and language to match.

Sheep and I knew almost every VW air cooled p/n in stock by heart after a few years. The boss picked up on this, we thought he was impressed. But Sheep being Sheep.... the boss would be typing an order for a customer and forget a part number to some widget and he'd yell out... "FRAAAANK....what's the g@d d@mn part number for the little piece of rubber under the door handles on a 1969??!!!" and Sheep would reply..."uhh...umm....oh yeah....111 211 311"

Sheep also had some fun with description of parts in the computer system. Every part had a part number and a description... like 113415061C was "Type 1 steering box".... normally. Well, Sheep would go into computer and change "things." So the boss would type up another order... for a steering box, punch in the numbers, and the invoice would print out "Ravioli with Meat Sauce".... and of course, our beloved boss would lose it and start throwing stuff....  it would kill me every time..

Holy guacamole! If I did that at any of my jobs in the VW/Porsche days, I would've been lambasted and eventually fired. "Ravioli with Meat Sauce" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That there is some good stuff. Thanks for the laughs.

When Mark The Orange worked at Circle Porsche, he changed the actual parts out and put food items in their place.

When I worked at BAP, we had a customer who would send us a box of VW Rod Bearings, with a few joints inside, back as a thanks for extending him credit.

Did Dan's wife make brownies out of it? I've had a few and they had a lasting effect.

no, Robbie only gifted to me. It was a "deal" we had arranged.

#9's, from best of my memory, only brought lemon bars, banana bread, cookies and cheesecake, I don't remember any brownies...maybe it was after I quit.

I still have my old BH receipts, and there are some classic Sheep quotes on them. 

Man!!!!! I almost forgot about Dans wifes cookies and lemon bars!!!!  They were out of this world good!

I found one the other day for my flanged Bugpack 84 crank I bought from Frank. The description said "Stroke my meat". The receipt for my 48 x 38 Heads Up Comp Eliminators said "Gaping Butthole"

Mark that was nothing. You should have been there for the day he was interviewed, or the day of the Golf Ball Flood or when the old lady stripper came to visit.  You, having VW parts experience, probably know what a K Ghia rubber horn boot looks like? Well, he changed the description on that one to "monkey sex diaper"

[John Rayburn]

I know the golf ball story, tell us about the old lady stripper!

Hilarious, Jim. And, yes... I know exactly what a K.G. horn cover looks like. That's good stuff!

Had a couple of Caspers hot dogs with our old boss, Jerry yesterday.....it was great to see him after all these years, spent about 2 hr laughing our lungs out over these old stories and good times, old motors, old race cars, raising babies, and he even said he found a golf ball (STILL) under the shelving from Sheep's flood.
