I spent the afternoon at Gene Winfield's place...

[Gracie]

and all I can say is WOW! I was cruising on back from seeing BR5-49 play in Bakersfield (killer show guys!) and Buckshot told me to stop by a gas station in Boron, Ca to see the bitchin' hemi powered RPU that the owner (who is a Hamb member... they are everywhere aren't they?) has sitting in the bay... well we start talking and he says for me to go out to see Gene, and gives Gene a call to let him know I'm on my way. Wow. What a nice man, and what amazing stuff! I got a close up look (and stories to go along with) at the Reactor, Mabelline, his fiberglass Fords, Bladerunner movie cars Robocop movie car, and much much more... WOW! And what a cutie... if I was 30 years older.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It is kick ass when you get to meet a legend especially when you get to have a real conversation with the person. I am jealous.

[JamesG]

Please tell me you had a camera?! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Very kool.

[Leon]

I went by there a couple weeks ago, how does he feel about people just dropping in? I didn't want to disturb anything he might have been doing!

I saw Gene at VLV and asked him how he stays so young and this is what he said, verbatim, "I don't drink, I don't smoke and I eat a lot of pussy." No lie.

[SAVAGE]

Wow Gene and I have the same theory on life!!!!

[Fast Elvis]

Nads aren't you on that high pussy diet.....or am I thinking of the T and A diet!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif.....just don't forget to brush!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

F.E.

[RocketDaemon]

cough cough the wrong kinda pussys can get you kinda sick though

[Gracie]

Yeah, when I was introduced and instead of shaking my hand he hugged me.. I wondered if he hugged guys that drop by too! hahahaha He talked about how he likes "home grown" boobies and not silicone... I kinda thought he might like his women "kustom" too but evidently not!

He employs this blind guy too... I thought that was really cool... says he has an amazing "feel" and I think is job is to straighten out trim and stuff...

I don't know how he feels about "drop ins"... he was pretty busy so I don't know. Growing up in the South... I was taught that dropping in is rude, so I felt uncomfortable even though they had called and asked if we could come by.

[Nads]

My credo through life (at least since the first pube poked it's way out down there) has been "No Muff, Too Tuff."
I grew up in the 70s so I have an affection for all things hirsute. I reckon Gene's on the same wavelength, he was staring at some hottie as he was giving up his life secrets, although I didn't see any spider's legs vining out of her Daisy Dukes.

[Tackett]

He came over to the group I was hanging out with at VLV and was pretty forward with our girlfriends (mine was gone by then). He went as far as unzipping the jacket of a girl, staring at her tits and saying "what's going on here?"

There were a bunch of guys standing around thinking "if this wasn't Winfield, I'd kill him". I'm glad my girl was gone by then, because I wouldn't have wanted to make the call to get in his face or not.

It was pretty uncool if you ask me.

[Nads]

Tackett, chill bro'. It's an honor to have a hot rodding legend get a hard on for your girl. Shit if my wife was there I would've let him grope her DDs, him and Barris too.
They coulda doubly manhandled her and I would've taken the picture.
These guys are from a time when men were men and weren't pussyfied by the world.
If I'm not mistaken I think the scantily clad chicks at VLV enjoy being gawked at by men, even dirty old men.
Supressing the gawking at T&A gene can only cause great harm and shrivel your nuts up.

[Fast Elvis]

You know the old saying, "drop the lad and come with dad"!!.....or is it, "drop the lad and go with Nads"!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif......ya baby!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Tackett]

Nads, we're talking about gawking vs groping; two different things. You and your wife are free to do whatever you want with Winfield & Barris; free country, consenting adults... blah blah blah.

Groping chicks that aren't asking for it is wrong. Plain and simple - wrong.

I have nothing against oogling the T&A, and I do it all the time. I have no problem with some guy checking out my girl, I just expect them to have a bit of respect. Even if they're a star.

[prime mover]

hes a great guy I always stop and chat with him, how could you get away with starting shit with HIM?

[Gracie]

I know this is not P.C. but the way some chicks dress they are asking for it... don't dress like a "hoo-er" and you won't be treated like one... Winfield didn't bother me (and I even told him that he was a cutie), and besides... I don't need a man's help to tell another gropey man to back off... I can coldcock a rude guy without any help. thankyouverymuch.

[ShortBus]

When were you in Bako, Gracie? I just spent (wasted?) 10 days there.

[Gracie]

Shortbus, I got there at 9 o'clock Wednesday night, went straight to Buck's Crystal Palace to see BR5-49, then crashed and drove home the next day. I sure do like Bako though.... I tell ya I really do miss trees living out here in the desert. Neon will never replace trees and lakes and farms and such to me...

[ShortBus]

I was in town.. did they play the Fox? I didn't hear a thing about it. maybe next time.

It's a nice place to be from...

Amen! I'm from West Virginia, and I miss the trees and black wet dirt. I love the desert here in CA, but I miss those green green trees and grass...
