The rule is you don't get to start another project until you finish the one you started.
Drop it off at my house and I'll let it slide

Introducing "Moss" - Just Trying to Save Another One
10-05-2012 01:33 PM

A month or so back there was an ad here on the Vortex for "Two Free Scirocco's". The owner did not want to see them get scrapped but wanted to concentrate on his Cabby project (he had 4 Cabby's) and was looking for a good home for the Scirocco's. Trocco84 picked up the 84 and I picked up the 85.
Introducing "Moss":
Decided to name him Moss since he actually had moss growing on him.
After getting him home I gave him a powerwash:
He cleaned up pretty good. I picked him up in Mt Vernon Ohio (Brendan's back yard or front yard?) and he originally came from Tenn. so is fairly rust free. Missing a tranny.
Thanks Jim, I'll take care of him and good luck on your Cabby!

A rolling 'rock gathers no moss! Too easy!
Actually a Rolling Rock would taste good now too!
good luck.The feeling of immortality extends right up until the moment of impact.
I cannot teach you how to be a Zen mechanic, grasshopper.

Mmmm, Rolling Rock. Btw- Out West we have 'Roaring Rock', named after a local landmark.
The Rolling Rock folks thought it was too close and made them change the name, so now it's Tripple Rock, ('scuse my lack of spell check at the moment...).
Ale, Red, and Porter....
But I digress; Great news keeping another out of the Evil Hands of the Scrap Man.

Not since Anheuser-Busch purchased them. I think the recipe was fouled. Originally Posted by sciroccohal
