Unplanned meeting in Atlanta - pullejo & nanayaw6

Funny story.

So we're re-doing a few rooms in the house and I'm slowly but surely getting rid of the furniture, putting a few things on craigslist just to get rid of stuff....So Saturday I put a ceiling fan on there that I'd just taken down - decent fan with the remote and all that stuff but just didn't fit with the decor in the room now.

A guy contacts me to say he wants to come get it. I didn't even think to look at the email address.

He shows up around 1:00 and I walk out and don't even see the guy, I just see the car first...





The first words out of my mouth as I'm pointing at the black 55..."You gotta be kidding me, right?"

Seriously, what are the odds???

Totally hilarious. We played "cars" for a while. Yaw's a great guy of course. I think he needs to stop letting his girlfriend drive his car though.

Hahaha right on John. Really is a small world. The the receiver/motor combo from that fan should make for a fun little project.
Your beast looks mint and sings a mean chorus with those cutouts too. I see an e63 front end and lip in my future thanks to you .
Craig, did u get my text on Monday? Sorry I couldn't get back to you sooner

What a wild coincidence. I'm sure Yaw got the Forum discount on the fan

Both cars look sweet.

It's good thanks! Still stock though. I should be in your area within the next month, and will give you a shout to see if you're in town. So far so good

I hope all is well!
