Twas exacly two years ago that I drove into Papa Tony's garage to have my flywheel replaced with a lightened version and do some body adjustment...
Papa called on Anthony G for some help with the flywheel job which lasted a whole day. Poor Anthony G didn't know what he was in for.
They didn't let me help them any, cept for the beers.
So here are some pics. Not so good ones, I guess I was too excited.
This is Papa Tony under, Anthony G helping
Did we loose a bolt? Or some nuts?
That's Papa behind that belly
Bye Anthony G, and many thanks. Where are you anyhow?
HaXD

and to see he is active on the screen.
It would be hard/inpossible to follow hin on our TV (especially since I don't have one).
And why do you think I served beers with my feet?
to keep tabs on him. He was kind enough to do an interview with my daughter for her senior theater class. Her teacher was quite impressed that she got a real interview with a real actor. The assignment was to try to get an interview.
Anthony was great, he gave really long and thoughtful answers and my daughter got an A.
This all reminds me of the first time I ever met Anthony. Just one of the many good times on Xweb 1.0. He was traveling from Michigan to SoCal in his 79. He spent an entire day stuck in a Shell station parking lot in Hamel, Illinois. Here is the story if you car to travel back in time.
Thanks Herzel... for the kind thoughts and terrible pictures...

For everyone's information... Herzels "new" car had been tagged in the rear quarter... and what was NOT apparent when we pulled the LR control arm... was that the frame had been tweaked just a skosh.
Everything else went in and up just like clockwork, except for that &*%#!&!!*! control arm. I think it finally took the three of us to pull, push and pound all at the same time to get is back up in place. When Herzel had time to take those fotos I'll never know... I thought he was working WITH us!
HA!
As for Anthony... I have left messages for him a couple of times and nothing... I believe he still has the same old recording also. Hopefully he really is that busy... He is missed!
My best,
Tony

... a$$ the next time I see him. He better watch himself if he ever plans to spend a few nights at my house again!
HA!
We were struggling so much with that damn thing... as EVERYTHING else went as smooth as clockwork and then this! We got so tired so fast... could not get enough leverage to get that control arm back in. And then I hear this little squirt taking pictures and the last thing I said was... "you better not post those!" So what's he do...escapes halfway around the world and THEN posts the damn things!
I'll get him... just wait and see!
HAHAHA!
Hey... thanks for your concern... and I appreciate the sensitivity. I've made that mistake many times and have second-guessed myself for what I said. This form of communications is pretty good, but things can be misunderstood... I apologize also for not making myself clearer.
My best,
Tony
