[QUOTE="MikeMcCartney, post: 2174, member: 535"] [b]The VOC Black Shadow[/b] I have no idea who the high bidder for the machine was, nor do I care. Screw him. I will say that I am the second highest bidder. As I made the Hon. Secretary know by Email recently, I am still working on getting the funds together for the purchase. Specifically, I have pursuaded my partners to sell our mechanical engineering / contracting firm here in Toronto, and we are negotiating the sale as of time of writing of this missive. Whereas the funds were readily available in my account in January of this year, I spent a great deal of it restoring two valuable old Vins, Rapide # F10AB/1/328 and Black Shadow F10AB/1B/10186. The chaps at the Spares Company, as well as the Kemps, know me well. I've spent thousands on their merchandise. Moreover, unlike a few scoundrels who have short-changed him over the years, I have paid Mike White top dollar for his valuable time for rebuilding the two engines. All told, $30,000 - plus has gone into parts and labour on the two machines, and more is to follow. If you wish to deliver to me a verbal beating - up over this issue, please fell free to E-mail me at [EMAIL="MMcceng77@aol.com"]MMcceng77@aol.com[/EMAIL], or call me at 416-822-7139 and lay it on me. I can take it. I'm an adult. As to the amount of my bid, that is none of your business. Several of my acquaintances know, and thats as far as it goes. Lastly: If you think I am not worthy of membership in the VOC, step up to the plate and tell me so, either via Email or a phone call. Please sign your Email with your Christian name. Hiding behind screen names, as some of you have done, is just not my style. Cheers! Mike McCartney, Toronto [/QUOTE]
