I had not seen that one Jake. I saw a nother one where he pulled the left front tire off the ground for a few feet. If it weren't for the wide tires in the rear you never guess. :shock:

You mean " limp dick George" :shock: The fuckin' guys needs to grow up. :x what an ass!! Hey ...........you want me to tell you how I realy feal. :wink:

Eugene, would you go again??
Title: KKOA
Post by: eugenevik on July 31, 2009 2:17 am: yes I would go again, but would like to have a fairly radical custom to do it

I am starting to refrain from doing things more than once as repetetion is just boring so I want to keep doing new things, just my way of thinking

I had that thought run through my mind, what if some young woman took Barris on , he would have to get up and get going, not very likely

He was walking through the motel lobby at the roadster show this passed Jan. He was having a hell of a time doing that......I couldn't see him doing anything else. :roll:

Post by: JakesBackyard on July 31, 2009 7:11 pm: Poor George. He doesn't get a lot of respect.

But I sure hope I can be squeezing women at 85.

Come to think of it, I just hope I'm alive at 85!

Post by: Tom on July 31, 2009 7:24 pm: I hope I'm alive at 85 too.

I have respect for George as a car builder and promoter, I have more respect for his brother Sam, but come on..........he needs to have a little respect of women too. Some day he'll grab the wrong lady and I hope she slaps the old shit and knocks him on his ass.
Title: must have been out of respect
Post by: eugenevik on August 01, 2009 12:15 am: poor old bent over Bill Hines posed for many photos and him at about 4 ft they all got down on their knees so they would not tower over him and he never complained about anyones request
he was giving autographed decals free and I got one on the 53 dash now
and me being a little scotch on the $$ I paid Bill for a autographed photo
I never did talk to any of the others, bought a keyring from Mrs Starbird

I could not post any photos after the 4 and dont know how to do albums, but the Hines family Eldorado is quit the rig dual sidepipes on each side, looks like his son? did the driving

Post by: Tom on August 26, 2009 1:31 pm: Eugene, AKA E. Please pass on a thank you to your wife, Marijo, for the nice write up on the Suedes Run she did in Street Talkin'.

My wife said she hopes to meet her some day, she also enjoyed the story.

Post by: JakesBackyard on August 26, 2009 10:19 pm: I read it at noon....always good for a chuckle or three. I really get a kick out of her writing. I'm guessing "E" maybe gets a kick in the rear after some of the trips. :lol:
Title: Paging Mr. eugenevik
Post by: Eyeball on August 26, 2009 10:53 pm: Yea "E"....pass on a big thank you from all the Suedes for that press!!!!! We were happy to have you both at the run! I wish I would have had another chance to go through that photo album you had with.
Title: fixing D8
Post by: eugenevik on August 28, 2009 4:53 am: I wish I was getting to sit around and read it is my favorit thing to do, but I took on a unsurmountable problem getting my D8 14A going, been a ton of work and got it done tonite and a big bolt broke on the recoil spring and jamed the the sproket into the track frame
so more repairing??
would just like to sit down and do nothing for a couple months, but soon winter is coming and its time to kick some butt before the snow flies
