Hey Matt: Do me a favor and tell everyone that it's NOT me that you're referring to when you mention your new "friend" that collared you, then walked you like a puppy dawg. Several folks know I have a LearJet and my mailbox is full from emails wondering if you were talking about me. I told 'em it wasn't me, cause I'd never chop/channel mine ...although I'd be happy to give you a list of 10 cars to shop for me...LOL

I have helped a friend save quite a bit of cash locating cars and parts over the years. He is a good friend and his word is good. We have a future gentleman's agreement in place and I have no doubt that his word is gold. If I was brokering Up front for a cut of the pie with an unknown client I would get a deposit with the understanding that win or loose (if the cars were all located) the deposit was forfit for my time, - and get it in writing.

There are too many "baddies" out there today - unless you know who you are dealing with you gotta watch. (Just my 2cents)

Steve,
It was certainly not you being referred to here, first of all you have the financial ability to put together the ultimate collection, you are also not one of the new kids on the block, and above all else you actually OWN a Lear Jet! I do have some serious cars that I had located for this fella, if interested give me a call or send an Email.

Steve, if you read Motown's post, you'll see he referred to a "spoiled rotten rich kid".

So he couldn't be referring to you. You're not a kid.

Anyone ever see the movie 'A Beautiful Mind'???


Seriously, I am sorry to hear someone played you like this. It is quite an intriguing story.

Marlin,
Sorry for your inability to comprehend the meaning to the post which included the word "thought", as in "think", maybe I can devise a way to re-post using picture signals so you can grasp the concept of the similarity of the unfortunate events that occoured to me as could anyone else. Even though I was not relieved of actual cash, being an accountant I would hope you can understand the concept of "opportunity cost". Six weeks of wasted time and effort as well as financial expenses could have been better spent in a more productive way. It was not a total waste however, you finally managed to make my short list should I ever be diagnosed with a terminal illness. And to think I saved you a lot of grief by not giving your phone number to the owner of the 68 Z ragtop after you spouted off the prospective selling price in public which was either a lucky guess or you heard it from the one person I mentioned it to off line who I considered a friend. Are you ever going to start minding your own affairs or is your life so boring you would have nothing to talk about. Do as you wish, just stay out of my business, for the better of all...
Motown

Yada, Yada! Same old stuff there Matty boy!

A lucky guess? You saved me grief? This supercar world is a lot smaller than you think. Don't ever make assumptions about who/what somebody else does/does not know.

If you don't like the replies that you receive, then stop posting your 'personal' business on this board.

I went racing in my Yenko this past weekend, how's that for boring?
