Last weekends some guy name Dillard or dillan or Phil or something or other, came out to visit just to look at my type3's and give me a few hits. What a nice guy.....full of knowledge and quite witty. But I have to make it known to all in Type3 land, BEWARE!!!! I was wondering why he was being so nice and asking me to get him another beer from my Fridge inside the house. Little did I know....something erie was going on in my garage. Everytime I came back to the garage he would ask for something else.....like a lime for his Corona Extra. Time and again it was something else.....a newspaper, a magazine, some condoms.....you name it. After his 2 hour visit and about 3 minutes of conversation......he left. It was pretty late so the garage light never came on after he left. Come morning I went to my Squareback and started tinkering......."What's this......no roof rack?"........"What's this......no seats?"........"oh my god.......where is my 1600 cc with 1200 original miles". All I know someone must have broken in my garage and had taken everything. Thank god it couldn't be Phil.....he was so nice to me! P.S. Next day I saw Phil at a show selling this really nice rack for 200 bucks. ---------- From: Everett Barnes[SMTP:everettb@prodigy.net] Sent: Thursday, July 09, 1998 2:47 PM To: type3@vwtype3.org Subject: Re: Don't say it > Tomorrow I shall (gulp) unsubscribe for two weeks or so because I will be heading for Mexico.

Final details on location and the trailer of NOS parts that goes with it for under 1000 pesos within the next 2 weeks... I'd buy it myself but there is some ancient superstition that indicates it must be sold to someone whose name starts with a 'P' or, loosely translated, "The sky will turn to fire and a plague will descend from the heavens." I was sent a warning not to buy it this week when a storm knocked my neighbors tree on top of their H*nda. I had commented the day before that their tree was getting a little large and needed a trim so... I believe! :) - Everett Barnes
