1+ to excerpt's good sportsmanship, especially when compared to the decidedly poor conduct of a "former" member.

Oh, I'm no stick in the mud. It's not fun without a little trash talking.
You guys can't imagine the fantasy post I thought I was going to make here. Lmao

I was in visioning 9 wrinkle tanks he forgot about. Pristine looking sandcast engines, some super secret area51 aluminum race frame. Lol. It was fun!

Well excerpt, at least you saved this guy. Ekpent, you can release the crow.

this is a great ending to the long-shot story anyway. of course you needed to take the ride. #$%*, a bunch of guys went to the moon for almost no good reason , and that #$%* was EXPENSIVE!

I've enjoyed it too. Even spent dinner telling the wife about this post and how I wanted to check it to see what happened.
I swear for a split second she even looked mildly interested.

I catch myself telling stories to the wife that, I never finish, all the time.

Christ, this is just like all that Kardashian bull #$%* in the news.....big build up the poof.

+1 on Excerpt as mentioned for being a good sport and hanging in there with us and his quest,it was fun. As mentioned we have all made some wild goose chases in the past and will again in the future. The crow has been released--------------

This is too much fail for one man.

anotherCB · « **Reply #316 on:** November 03, 2011, 05:58:43 AM »

I have been reading along...

I like the Kardashian comparison. I am sure Excerpt is now better known on this forum than some guys with hundreds more post :-)

Thanks for the entertaining story, definitely beats reality TV!

I still want to know what years the engines were actually from and see some pictures of what shape they were in. I need pictures!!

They better not have been KO motors, and you left there...

OK, just to brighten our mood, tell you about the drama when I picked up my sandcast.. probably never told this online..
I go look at the bike in the barn, and it looks like a sandcast.. so I offer him 500 bux.. before this i tell him that I need a week or two to get the cash..he accepts the offer.

About a week later I go to a swap meet.. vintage car club.. I rent a space outside. I get there the night before and sleep in my rat truck.. i crwal out of it in the morning.. people are seeing this and telling people about this later.. I probably looked like a troll coming out of the truck.. I get over to my outside space, park my truck, tell them my buddy is bringing the struff to sell.. but I am fibbing.

Go inside scoop some killer deals cuz I am early.. Find some nice oil tins, buy them up.. (traded a 25 dollar one down the road for 300-400 worth of stuff!!)
to shorten the story, i spent most of the sandcast money.. now I phone and tell him I need another week or two, he says fine..
About 2 weeks later I have the cash.... meanwhile its hard to sleep, and I am worried sick about losing the sandcast bike.. I drive over there, and.....

You dirty bastard you.
So... what happened? You string him along for 2 more weeks before you paid up?

Oh well Excerpt, at least you have a good story after all the shennanigans.
Ya wins some, ya lose some.

This is one of those bench racing stories that we can all swap later on.
