Just had to laugh
I guess I never answered your question ........
I am sure some of the Texas boys can chime in and tell me where to shoot machinepistols .
I did get to shoot a water gun at a country fair.
You may still see me Saint, still working on Europe

Would you leave your car here ?
Now the wait, Speed is only 75 years old, I think the car will be done soon.....
He was waiting for his 60 year old helper to come in
He did the top on my car when he was 45 years old, hope his work is still just as good as it was in 1981

From Speed to Slow in thirty years
I stopped in to see if any progress was being made on my top, Speed said yes and told me , "Don't come back until I call you"
I asked him when that might be? He said " when I do "
I slowly backed out of the door, saying " Oh that's good, I'll wait for your call.
I must have been really silly to think I would get my car back in the same day, he did hint that it might be on Friday.
Of course, I asked him when that might be on Friday ? He said "when I call"
I asked him when that might be? He said " when I do "
PS I did get a peek, looks like he still does good work, just a little slower now

Nice goin, Jack - **** off an old guy working with sharp instruments on a heavy cloth top for an old car never designed for that style of top in the first place.
Quit jonesin' for your ride. Get inside and do something with your wife, maybe prep for the holidays. You'll be OK without your car for a day or two, or three.. or four even. Really, you'll be OK. Really, you will! Breathe..... in... out... in....

Its 2 pm
Should I call Speed, I am going to call
Why hasn't he called
I 'll get back to you
PS
Monday,, something about the "glue not sticking to my frame", but to not worry, " "we will get it done, just a lot more work "
What does that mean? I was afraid to ask the question
Get back to you on Monday , I didn't need to go for a ride on a nice sunny day like today

Oh gee Gollleeeeey
You fellows just bring tears to my eyes...................or was that onions from your cooking ?
To others who may read this..... see what happens when you travel all across the country in a corvette...
You meet wonderful people like Frank, Monkey Butt(Jim) and Dennis
Happy Holidays to all of you .......
plus....... I am not done yet.....there's more.......
I am sorry but I could not stand it.........at 2:14 pm this afternoon, I ran out of the house, jumped in a car and drove to Speeds......
I needed to see with my own eyes, what has happen to my car.
I knew that he does not work on the weekends, so.......I parked on the side alley of the building and looked in the window.....
This is what I saw through the dirty glass
Was he telling the truth, glue not sticking to my paint ? extra work ?
We shall see on Monday..........
That's if he gives me a call. I can't call him until he calls me........
I once was normal,,,,,,but that was before I joined this forum
