. . .BUT NOT THE FIRST ONE
The deal with the Anglia was the worst, however, not the
first. Maybe it was reported before, but on a previous show
James cut the front end off a vintage Woody chassis to make
a bleepin' "Hot Dog Vendor Wagon" dragster. My
friend, Jim Frizzell, said he did cry at that one.
Just goes to show that money will almost always override
good judgment and taste.

NO ROLE MODEL
Terrible way to teach our young ones on how to deal with
failures. The kids look to Jesse as a hero and this is how
he goes about dealing with issues. Wish the truth as stated
on another site by the driver of "Blue Blazer"
AA/FA would get out to the public as to how it really all
went down.
I for one will do my part to write to the Network and state
my displeasure with that type of programming.

WHAT A WASTE OF EQUIPMENT
I share Jeff Burk's feelings about the recent Monster Garage
episode. I had to cover my eyes when the weight was dropped
on that cherry Anglia! I threatened to put the stomp on
Jesse James for doing that to a car with so much potential.
How could anyone condone destroying 30,000 dollars worth
of stuff when there are guys out here that can only dream
about building something like that? Those Hollywood types
have proven again what jackasses they are! Oh, and Jesse
needs to tone down his "Tuff Guy" act.

WHAT A WASTE OF TIME
Your comments concerning the destruction of a perfectly
good '49 Anglia are spot-on. I cannot understand what the
television audience sees in these morons (Jesse James and
Orange County choppers and the like--BTW you can include
Boyd in the bunch). Craftsmanship? Their tools usually consist
of torches, hammers, and right angle grinders. I would hate
to be a body and paint man trying to make something from
the trash they prepare. I guess if something does not go
as planned you are supposed to trash it.
I put these programs in the same class as Figure Eight
race tracks, Demolition Derbies, Burnout Contests and just
about any other pointless exhibition that abuses equipment
for no apparent reason.
Keep up the good work.

NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON'T
Hello there. I was just reading the 1320 notes and I came
across the post about the LaHaie tuning Doug Herbert rumor.
You said a fan started that over on ESPN. Well, I was the
one that posted that over there but I did not make that
up. I read it on Torco Comp. Plus dirt/rumors column. Now,
after I posted that and got reamed out from people close
to Doug and Wayne I went back and looked and those sorry
a**holes took it out of their column. That made me look
like the Putz, but it was really them who started that rumor!
I just wanted to make it clear what took place o.k.?
They should not say crap like that and then erase it like
it never happened! I meant no disrespect to Wayne or Doug
and only hope that Wayne fully recovers real soon. Thank
you for your time.
Sincerely,
Ronald F. Sherry
