Remember Mikes beautiful gold car in Walnut Creek? He just emailed me and needs help. Can someone nearby contact him directly and help him out? Lets get him to the breakfast in a couple weeks...

Hi Jeff,
How are things?
I have been busy latley and unable to keep up on the forum [914world.com], I forgot my password and no matter what I tried I kept getting an error message.
The administrator emailed me the codes and they wouldnt work.
I wanted to ask if anyone in the bay area would be able or willing to try and get my car started, I was really looking forward to the breakfast this month but it doesnt look good. I needed to get through the last smog before I can drive it.
I have tried every thing I can think of. my car went from a great running car to sitting for the last 5 weeks. It died on me twice in one week and each time it acted like it ran out of gas. New feul pump, relays, plenty of spark.
I am almost to the point of selling it.
I havent been able to find any local mechanics that know the car.
Any Ideas?
If you remember I live in Walnut Creek.
Mike"

I fired off an e-mail to him, we'll see how desperate he is to have me look at his car...

Hey, he wants to sell it. Maybe we can get a good price.

Yeah Yeah. Send Mikey over there to 'fix' his car. That's sure to discourage him enough to want to sell it to ME!! MMMmmm, looks nice.... I like the custom upholstery.
