Oh yes, when I came back from Dallas two weeks ago and I told my Mom how sad  it was to see our friend Lyle suffering, and besides the facts I want to buy some cars and parts from him he actually would need help, Mom took decision only a very wise lady can take…. Let’s go with the family she said, and help to clean Lyle’s shop, so we help him and we’re together for a while and so we boarded last Friday for me ,the second time in 2 weeks, the KLM flight from Amsterdam straight to country of cowboy’s, JR, oil…. and Lyle Cherry…

Lyle Cherry…famous racer years ago, VW shop holder for 50 years, made more engines and transmissions then anybody else on planet earth and was several years NHRA world record holder, but before all my secret VW friend in Texas, a guy that walks, talks and breath Volkswagen exactly the way I do, very wise man, loads of experience, the word “mentor” is very light here!

Lyle is very ill and dying from cancer, he had to clean his shop, and give it back to the landlord, I bought part of the inventory and about 15 cars, and the deal is now we clean out all the rest, so for the next two weeks, Mom and Bert, Koen and Gonzo and me will be here, as it was school holiday Linda, Frederik and Nicolas came along for the week…. I will try to take pictures, but its so busy I mostly forget I confess… still here is a few from last three days….

The flight is long, sitting for 10 hrs gave Gonzo certain opportunity’s!

obligatory breakfast in the Waffle House!

First scrap trailer on the way, after 5 hours of work! All junk has to go, and there’s plenty gathered over the last 50 years here…

Forklift definitely helps moving cores and parts along…

Frederik found himself a chassis! a couple of parts to go, but it might drive soon Frederik!

Grinding axles from core transmissions, some drums simply didn’t came off! Koen in action!

we reorganised the back yard so all cars could be parked well, and from there we load the ones that will come to Belgium, and we cut up the ones that go to the scrap yard… Koen will have some work here!

Our scrap metal guys at work???? loading the trailer guys, more is coming soon!

The split they bought a little over a year from us is finished, and they enjoy the nice autumn days to the max….
