From team-thicko-owner@autox.team.net Mon Jul 1 06:25:32 2002 From: "Kansa, Robert" To: "'spridgets@autox.team.net'" , Date: Mon, 1 Jul 2002 08:24:20 -0400 Subject: lbc story..part 3... The return of the white trash.. ok so there we were.. the cops finally arrived and asked me to come back to talk to Heidi with him.. We all agreed that she would be a perfect commercial for keeping kids off drugs. so basically, on this second trip, we came home with a rebuildable, ex GP yellow 62 sprite, unfortunately with no title,(did it really ever have one?) its trailer, a 1275 and 1098. fortunately we had harvested some various parts on the first trip (trannies block, etc) . what we will do is get a hold of the company/real estate, that is foreclosing her house and tell them before they take the rest of the stuff to the scrap yards for recycling, to get hold of us. basically the moment i gave her the money, she told me her husband stole the title, and I was not to take any of the engines or other parts but just the car.. to give you the highlights.. her language was as colorful as her full body tattoos. she tried to threaten us with "cujo" her dog. (who I think was on drugs too). its the first time ive ever heard Mary or Lena call anyone....well. I wont go there.. the cop almost laughed at her as she was lying.."he didn't give me any money!!, so just have him take away the car!!!.. the calmer I was, the more pissed off she got.. she told the cop she would sign a bill of sale, then told him 5 min later she wouldn't. Mary took pictures as I was cutting the lock off the garage door.. she tried to have a seizure in front of us but she failed. so still sitting at her house is a white 6? midget 2 engine blocks 2 trannies 4 rear ends, several heads/rocker assy. 2 radiators, dashboards.. yada yada.. too bad. but at least we saved another LBC from the smelter.. /// unsubscribe/change address requests to majordomo@autox.team.net or try /// http://www.team.net/mailman/listinfo /// Archives at http://www.team.net/archive/team-thicko From team-thicko-owner@autox.team.net Mon Jul 1 06:45:34 2002 From: "Wm.

Nope, not another dog... the 4 (yes... he said 4) 90 lbs+ pooches I have are enough for now thank you (all shelter refugees). What did I need more than JFK needed a hole in the head? Why... another Sprite of course. I struck a deal with Canadian Thicko Daniel Thompson and bought his 21,000 original miles MKIII. The lovely Veronica and I invaded the north border with a speed run up to Mosport and back (24 hours of driving in 36 hours will whip your ass). I trailered the car home. The car has an interesting story (Daniel, please insert any corrections, revisions, insults, or threatened lawsuits here...). Apparently a Canadian Spridget racer had bought a bunchof car to use as spares or 'cores". He cataloged then as they were disassembled, and the parts, tubs and all, were stored in the basement of a duplex. This particulat car, (original paint and all) was stored on its side under wood pile or work bench... something like that. That storage method accounts for some of the small dents and scratches... but still a very presentable car. Later on, the racer lost interest in racing, and the stuff just sat. After he passed away, Daniel bought this car, got the parts and reassembled it... a really sweet 21,000 mile car. It has a 10CC 1098 that's smooth as silk, and a tidy shifting ribcase box. The car goes down the road straight and tight.... Daniel described it like driving a 2 year old Sprite... and he was right. The car has wire wheels, and once had what looks like an Amco luggage rack on it. (I just happen to have one of those on the shelf...) I intend to keep this one strictly stock, as I have the "SOS" MK III Sprite as a well moified street car too. One thing I noticed is the tach's showing 3000 RPM at 55 mph, which seems low to me. Tires are 145/80-13. Maybe it has a 3.9 in it? Or the tach is slackin' a bit. Anyone else with a 1098 and that tire size know what your 55 mph RPM's are? I'll have this car at Road America, along with the SOS, the Bishop, Redrum, and maybe my BN6 100-6 for the Healey clebration this fall.
