DID NOT fancy his remark he made about snatching the bus from under us. We never owned that bus??? He is making us famous by mentioning us. If he got that bus at the price he claims.............good for him!  |
Johnny, regarding the snatching comment...

Please guys, I am sure there are wankers in the US too! No-ones immune! Don't let it tarnish what I consider to be good friendly contacts on both sides of the big swim!
As for the lardy beaners thing, I remember the issue you're on about, and to be honest just did not understand it. Is this something that some people are called (beaners?). Its clearly offensive, I just wonder if the person who wrote it knew that it was offensive, you know the old a little knowledge is a bad thing saying. He may have overheard it and just piped it out without ever thinking about it, case of ignorance. I for one don't know what it means, who it refers to or anything! However, you're right, thats the kind of thing you need to CHECK if you're going to sell a mag to the general public. And if he knew it was offensive (I say he but I don't know who wrote it.. Could've been a lady I suppose...) then as you say its just bang out of order.
Anyway, lets all stay friends eh? long live the VW community no matter where the hell you're from!
Just my two penneth... |

gibbs, nobody is going to be mean to someone who shits dollar bills the way you do... no matter what country they're from! |
i'll keep that in mind. maybe i'll be allowed beyond the velvet rope at the next beer tent rave at stanford hall or peppercorn. i don't recall spending any money with the people that johnny and i were hanging out with or staying with.
next time i wipe my ass i'll do it with the inside of my wallet.

Lance of n'sync owns a 53 Barndoor deluxe?!
Someone should beat him up and take it. |
In addition to enlarging his large collection of NOS Barndoor parts in recent years, Lance has also been perfecting his Shao Lin style at the Tibetan temple where it originated.
He may put up a challenge, even though he has publically stated he uses the training for defense only.
I attempted to set up a public match - My Dragon style against his Shao Lin style for charity purposes around Christmas 2003 but he was not available due to his government work.

Hold on there son, are you taking the piss????
Don't care if that bus went out there to you guys.........I was just inquiring on which bus it was? And the owner mentioned that he got it really cheap. Just curious, not upset about this BD going out there. I personally don't care for deluxes, to each their own. But when you have some character making comments about snatching it up from under us, which we NEVER owned this bus, thats not cool. And who cares! He got it and for cheap. Good for him.
Bye the way, it was nice meeting you. |

| In the 1920's in the states most toilets or lou's as you Brits say were flushed by pulling a chain, get it?! In usual Brit fashion you got the cart ahead of the horse, so instead of "yanking the chain" you pre-empt it by saying "taking the piss". What term do you guys on the Isle have for "talking shit"? If it is consistant with the cart ahead of the horse you would probably say "we're thinking about taking down our knickers" LOL |

But the other thing is, that I forgot about until Rob posted the photo from the mag, was that the author said the "lardy beaner" got his car as low as he did by having his wife sitting in it!!

The deadliest form of martial arts is Monkey Style ala Dale Gribble.
OG bd went to the UK for 10g? And the 57 DD 23 was almost up to 8g before the auction was yanked?? Something doesn't make sense.

OK, now hold on just a second. This "Lardy Beaners" comment is the essence of OOC. I have neither said nor done anything Out Of Control in comparison to this monstrosity. If the guy truly understood the magnitude of his poor judgement, he certainly would have rethought the situation before they went and PUBLISHED this comment. That, in my opinion, is not too different from walking into a Black neighborhood and screaming the "N" word. Either one is likely to go over like a fart in church.

Hi John- I guess you can control the note of your wind, huh? Keep it close to the choir and the only thing that'll give you away is the stench, right?

this just in across the barndoor mafia gossip column desk.....
in a quote from an anonymous source across the big swim....
"Spoke to Steve Walker (mr retro) He told me he paid £13,000 for the 53 deluxe, and i think he wants to sell it here in the UK. "
so he bought it to flip it. he paid a bit more in £ that he claimed he paid in $.

That price weighs in at $24,728 in todays US Dollars. Still, not a bad deal for todays market in my opinion. A lot of money, yes, but that's a lot of Bus too.
