All,
I have been reading the posts about David's "discovery" here. Does this
story reek like dead fish to you? Let's look at this realistically:
He doesn't list his last name. Why? Because I think his story is crap and I
don't think it happened at all. If you or I found a "junked" roadster with
everything on it but a head, we wouldn't call it junked. We'd call it a car
without a head.
He says he found it "next" to a junkyard. What the hell does this mean? In
front? In back? Was it actually IN the junkyard? If I found a car by the
side of the road, it's someone else's car and I wouldn't think of touching
it unless it had been towed away and auctioned off. Now I have gone to junk
yards and found great parts. You haggle with the junk man and get the best
price you can. If you take a part off of a car on the street, you are
stealing, head or no head.
Lastly, I get the feeling this story is a crock. I don't believe a word of
it. No one finds all of the parts he's talking about on a junker. There are
some real junkers sitting outside of CDM that I have checked out. Obviously
hulks, but I wouldn't think of touching them for any reason without asking
Les. He doesn't lock them up, and anyone with a tow bar could take them, but
no one does because roadster people have integrity.
So I am not angry at David, I pity him. Which is far worse.
