A Fellow Sufferer

Posted on by

Poor guy, I really feel for him because I know there is no cure.

I stopped to get something cold to drink after work and this guy pulled in with a 69 Midget.

He also has a CHERRY 62 Morris Minor pickup that has been gone through and a Mini on top of that.

The worst part is the enfeebled fellow also has a damn Edsel he is working on!

Double Whammy.

The dreaded and often fatal British/Ford Disease.

I self cured of the Ford part of it after suffering for a few decades.

I know how bad it can get.

His is a later generation than mine and I have a bunch of parts for those that I tried to GIVE to the guy but he didn’t want them.

There may be some small glimmer of hope for him after all…

I made it… Phil is beyond awesome! The Awesome Guru!

Well me Lassies and Laddies, I made it, only a 650 mile trip, but travelling through some of the more desolate areas of SE Washington and NE Oregon at night on a curving, two lane farm road. Dangers about… only saw the ass end of a doe heading into the brush on the other side of the road.

Phil, Phil is a most singular generous man, He is unique in his approach to you and his base of knowledge that he has not tapped and conveyed to the blog, he is an asshole, par-excellence, wouldn’t want to meet him in a dark alley and take away his humongous, beyond delicious burrito from a little out of the way Mexican fast food dive with real live Mexican people that make the food. That he graciously and generously fed this tired, butt sore, wary traveler…

I was impressed walking into his house. In all honesty, I was kinda expecting a continuation of his world famous garage. It was fastidiously clean, well thought out and pleasant house. Phil is only a garage and yard shed hoarder, oh, but what tools he has, we could play for hours, getting dirty and make chips!

I was lucky to meet up with Phil on the blog and develop a friendship. This meeting cemented that. I was lucky to meet up with other fellows, Deathray, Igor, ChuckinBama, Irish, Greg, Grog, Sandy, even Johno, Vern, Big Country, Wendyworn, Leigh, Nemo, Filthie, Kid, Mattew W, oh man, too many to list!

This is another chapter and It is time to settle, thank you all for your encouragement and prayers.

Kevin……ps, I will be shortly changing my handle to CederQ, a subtle whisper in my ear about it and confusing our host.
