Why don’t you just sponsor the forum rather than spam it.
I don't think you understand what spamming is.Quote:

Looking for anything in particular this trip? I'm near Cleveland.
Let's be civil, please...
We do about 60% 356's, and the rest 911/912, so anything in that era I'd be interested in. I'm very fair in buying, references if needed. Let me know direct if it's easier adam@unobtanium-inc.comQuote:

Oh, you're done Jim, thank the heavens, because up until now you always had one more jab, one more snide remark, one more bit of trash talk, glad you're finally done. Do you promise? Pinky promise?Quote:

I would think they would rather have someone known like me coming to their house, than some stranger they don't know. Most people on here know me through my articles, forum posts, and my outreach of the club at swap meets. So again, asking to meet up with other Registry folk is about as far from spamming as you can get. But I guess if you're just angry and pissed off, anyone out having a good time is going to make you that much madder and you'll feel the need to throw some mud. But you'd be better off to stay quiet, and now that you've promised to do that we can see how nice that is. A new Jim, wow!

Only place more petty than this board is the one for university academics. As they say--the less really at stake the more mean/petty the arguments.
Too bad you aren't swinging into Oregon. I would love to rediscover my basement and garage.
Look who's talking...Quote:

I finally got mine the way I want it, took awhile. The one on the left.Quote:

Adam, you have a p.m. from me when you get close to the Cleveland area pls touch base.
Wellborn
Gosh, you know, I read the subject line and somehow was not FORCED to read the thread.
I did read it because I admire how the brothers run their business.
I'm pretty sure vBulletin allows the snowflakes to block posts from people they prefer not to hear from.
Agreed. That should always be the solution. Always.Quote:

For example I rather know the preferred black paint the pros (like Vintage Excellence or Jim M.) are using for the dash face versus being informed of your tour to buy parts. No offense and this is IMO of course but people are here and add value for different reasons.Quote:

3. Heck, I even tell people in my signature that they should join the club.
But in terms of technical contributions how about all the times I've posted arcane details of one owner cars so people can see what it really looked like, maybe you missed that too.
I could go on and on but suffice to say that my contributions to this club go far beyond informing you of a buying trip.
In case you need a reminder of one of the one owner cars, how about this 69E, parked in 72. I posted about that one a lot.
---Adam
Wow, this is the wanted to buy area, not sure if the "input" is worse post Frank due to Fill the Vacuum??
Clearly a want to buy ad So if your trail swings a bit south into the Asheville area and depending on your schedule I would like to go with your initial post to meet like minded people I would like to offer a spare room some adult beverages and a garage full of cars and parts to chew the fat over not sure I want to sell anything but a good evening for sure. PM on it's way
Regards
Trip is going well, truck is full, trailer is 2/3 full and 2 more days on the road. Thanks to everyone for helping get the word out.
---Adam
Great trip! Thanks to everyone I got to stop and hang out with, and the only problem I had was I was running out of room. Some real cool stuff, like a 356 cab cut into sections and some 550 Spyder steel/alloy wheels. But after 2000 miles I'm beat.
---Adam
Where's the long hood stuff:D
Most of the 911 stuff ended being smalls, though I did get a pile of FUCHS.Quote:

That's the problem with these trips, you never know how much stuff you're gonna get. I was supposed to pick up a car, but the deal fell apart, which was kind of fortunate because I wouldn't of had room, but had I known there was no car I would have brought my cargo trailer, rather than the aluminum car trailer. The cargo trailer is 3 feet longer and has sides for stacking.Quote:

I've had to improvise when there turn out to be extra cars available.
Exactly like that!Quote:

Great seeing you and thanks for taking stuff off my hands that would never have seen daylight except for someone crazy enough to drive around buy bits and pieces, thank you for your support of the community. The next time you are looking for that rare NOS or NLA part, check with Adam, he might have it because he works his tale off caravanning the usa looking through other's goodies.
You didn't make him pay for any of it did you?Quote:

I carefully looked over her car and saw no damage, she agreed, but still red-faced said, "SECURE YOUR LOAD!"Quote:
