<VV> 200 MPH - How about a Kilo, Dude?

[henry kaczmarek]

Bill
I think it is generally accepted that our members run the gamut. From quiet 
lurker to daily posters,  from timid to all the way out there, and from 
solid to certified whacko (at least, at times <GG>.)

I would be willing to bet the farm that NOBODY called this guy to threaten 
him, in fact I doubt strongly that anyone called him at all.  He DID get 
called up on what he had, and what he was trying to sell, and he probably 
got caught with his pants down.  It wouldn't be the first time that V V 
straightened out an E bay seller, and the seller didn't care to hear from a 
number of people who actually know PLENTY about corvairs.  I think some of 
the people out there think the car is so obscure that nobody knows much 
about it. ----They never heard of our forum. In fact, they never heard of 
CORSA members!!!

Regards
HANK
