Subject: Re: Roadhaus - Need an Engine
Well, lets push this thread one last time, i will share with you a small
portion of an e-mail i have send to many today... so maybe some of you will
understand my point, or the one am trying to make...
-------------------------------------------------------
Just so you know, i have spent a few days helping him with different
problems wile in FL...(Exhaust Gasket, making an alternator bracket out of
honda parts, showing him how to do a compression test...)
When i came back home, a few days / a week later i receive 2 small package,
one after the other... with no name on the package, one was a electric
Bug-killer racket that i was always using with him and the other gift was a
head light kit that i found pretty cool wile i was with him, but i made fun
of him at that time (now am using that gadjet everyday).... he never told me
about it.. they just came by mail...that kind of gesture is out of this
world for me.....maybe am in the wrong world!! Also, wile camping with him,
he paid all camping fee for a few days, i guess because it was my birthday,
and maybe because i was helping him.... so maybe now you can see what kind
of men he is..... i know that a 30$ campground is not cheap for him....i
insisted to pay for the other days, well nothing i could do...he also give a
lot without thinking or hopping to receive, that is """one reason""" i have
so much respect for the guy, and in many ways i want to help him, anyway i
cant, because that guys would do the same for anyone, in is own way.
He also as many incredible stories about how nice people have been on the
road with him, but sadly not many people knows those stories, they are not
even on his site, they should be.
Do i have to tell you know that he is the giver type!
I was priviledge enough to meet him.
--------------------------------------------------------
I would probably do the same for any VW owner stuck around my home, am like
that, so when my friend is stranded the other side of the continent, i feel
helpless. I would like to think that someone closer to him would do the same
for him that i would do if he was closer to me. But if i have too i will fly.
I have no more thing to had to that thread. Now, think what ever you want, i
know what i think.
