Re: [Chevelle-list] I'm back on the list

2005-10-31 Thread Ed Riggins
We did have lots of fun and actually got a bit of work done on his Chevelle
while denting the Grappa supply.  I think I kept up with the Italian drivers
OK although my wife probably went through a year's supply of valium in 3
weeks.  Heidi was a very gracious hostess and I am thankful her aim in the
car was off that night or I'd probably still be there learning lots of
medical terms in Italian...

Hi all,

I havent been on the list the whole summer so I would like to send a big hi to 
all
on the list, especially to those who missed me (now that is a short list! haha)

I havent been here because I'm trying to detox from americans, before you all 
get
angry and start yelling and telling me how a racist and stuff I am, in my 
defense I
have to tell you that I met some really really bad examples from this list.
I started out meeting Herb at the end of Power Tour in Kissimee, he talked me 
into
drinking beer and then we went dragracing on a machine in old town, and thats 
all
stuff I normally dont do.
THEN! Mr. Ed Riggins came to Europe with his wife, well lets say it in this 
way, the
Eiffel tower is now pending and the Pisa tower is straight and the Colusseum 
isnt
looking very nice either.
We got so tired of him and we wanted him so badly to never come back so the 
last day
of their visit my GF tried to back over him with the car.

I still take my medecine but now I'm back

Ciao
André
