fasttoys, I see in your profile that you also have a 69 Nickey?? Is that one that you bought new also? I really think that you need to post some pics as well because I will be honest with you (most will not) I am VERY sceptical of EVERYTHING that you have said thusfar....

Scarcasim and a direct hit to my integrity, ethics, and honesty. I am asked to "post some pics" which I did. Earlier I was asked to "start by filling out your User Profile in FULL as a sign of good faith", which I did. Apparently neither compliance resulted in good faith or a positive response. I guess there is no making you guys happy. I had also posted some pics of one of my boats elsewhere on this site (which Powerboat Magazine did a feature on, SYC guys get press in other than just car rags).

As far as the comment about post "old photo's of my Yenko." You question EVERYTHING so I posted a photo to prove I had/have a Yenko. Elsewhere on this site I addressed specifically my issues around posting any new pics of the Yenko. I have shown new pics of the car, engine, etc. off line to others on this site and have stated that elsewhere on this site. I suggest you read the other threads. At this point I do not believe it will appear on this site.

This thread started as a reply to Yenko options and you guys through it into this. I though one of the reasons for this site was to share experiences and knowledge of things long past. Apparently I was wrong. I was old enough to buy a Yenko and other cars of the time new. I do not think many others on this site have. I raced back then and met many folks. I met Don Yenko and have had correspondence with him. Have you?

The big guy blessed some of us with the means to buy and appreciate cars at an early time and the ability to continue collecting. I thank him daily. Yet it appears folks who probably were not even around then or "playing the game" toss out nasty personnal attacks via inuendo and accusations. Gotta wonder.

As I had stated before you guys can "believe whatever you want"

Nah, he'll be back around.

I think that the bashing here sucks...what useful purpose does it serve? I know that I've made a few negative comments on some posts here...then I PM'ed the O.P. and said I was sorry...or deleted the post completely. I remember reading this wise gem on here somewhere..."Type what you want to reply to someone...then wait 10 minutes before you send it...you'll be glad that you did." What a great piece of advice.

Hope that everyone had a great holiday!

Bruce I'm with you. I've typed in a few sarcastic comments and then quickly deleted them because I don't know the target that well and don't want to p**s anyone off.

I was taught this about communication: the best way to communicate is face to face - you can hear the words, read the body language, and hear the tone of voice. Second best is over the phone, where you can still hear the words and the tone. Written communications are the weakest, because you can only read the words. Anything that is not precise is subject to interpretation, and therefore misunderstanding. The written word is judged to be only 10% as effective as face-to-face communications.

I think most members here give new posters the benefit of the doubt; although asking many questions to get more info. Nobody should have their integrity challenged unless there is some evidence of misrepresentation (not just a suspicion). The only way we can keep learning more about anything is to keep an open mind.

Hopefully the good Dr. will be back to share some of his personal experience and first hand knowledge of these great cars with us.
