Last Ride

[oldmisterbill]

I was looking through some of my old pictures-came across this one.Bring back Memories? Its a reminder of a ongoing topic of discussion-that has continued off and on for a few years. Sure was cold that night-we ran all the next day in a snow storm,to get it to a good place to sit for a while .
I always enjoyed his company whenever our path crossed.A great guy. Ok U older members do U remember this event in Oilburners history? Care to Guess?

Long as Jonathan can keep the squirrels out of that E it will be ready to go when he wants to and can afford it.

To bad it's not Chrstine. At least it would have fixed itself by now, and probably would have driven back to Indiana to kill somebody.

Yeah, the Enterprise heading down south to retire apparently. Travis worked it like a rented mule and now it just wants to sleep in the soft kudzu for the rest of it's life.

Still have a copy of all these pictures....Maybe one day we can meet up again and maybe I can get all that IDI stuff outta your way if it is still there.......how long has it been since I bought it?3years?As for cold....yea,it was...and the snow in the bed was still there for 2 days after delivery and the final push to the shop....Ironically,the E died in the exact same location headed home but on the other side of the 4 lane......and the Deuce blew it's turbo last year at the exact same place and I managed to roll it about 2 more miles to the race car shop and parked it for about a month in the same place as the E was....

Ya know guys, there are alot of letters in the alphabet. Maybe Enterprise should be decommissioned to make way for Enterprise-B.

 

[Freight_Train]

actually,I have offically number the E as the NCC1701-D since it has been refitted 4 times with engines.....I think....you did blow the original up,replaced it,blew it up,replaced it,blew it up and abandoned it where I put another and abandoned it again.....right?

Ok U got it ! For newer members this is the funeral procession (altho it wasn't supposed to be a funeral) for the Enterprize in Dec /04.

We travis (agrve) and myself loaded it in Ft Wayne ,Indiana around midnight,1st Pic. Then delivered it to Johnathan (freighttrain) in Gadsen,Alabama the next night. From what i understand it still hasn't been burried-its still in the morgue.

May ye rest in peace

I look at Travis in that picture and keep having the hook of a Stone Temple Pilots song running through my head:

"I'm half the man I use to be. . ."

 

[oldmisterbill]

Yes but still twice the man in his heart.
