New guy in norcal
« on: August 26, 2014, 03:44:16 PM »
An old school friend called me out of nowhere the other day.He ask if I could help him sell off some of his cars.This might not seam odd but we have only seen each other 2 times in 40 years.We got to talking and I asked if he still had his Simplex,he did!All he ever did was get it running at one time.He says it's hanging in my garage.I tell him I a always wanted that thing.He says I know and it's your's.If you sell the cars for me. Done deal !
Alittel history on me,I restored cars & motorcycles ,custom metal work, paint for years then got out of it.Still do it on the side.I'll post pix when I get the bike.Cheers
