Grady Clay - How is he these days?
 
I occurs to me I haven't read anything from Grady for some time.

I trust he is well?

billybek 04-04-2014 03:58 PM

I was thinking the same thing the other day.

LakeCleElum 04-04-2014 04:41 PM

Hasn't posted since May of 2013?

Bob Kontak 04-04-2014 04:48 PM

His dad passed away in May of last year. He was online later in the year.

Hope he is just busy.

Springtime in the Rockies. It is when all of us Rocky mtn Pcar guys start to get together. Grady will surface. I miss him too.

Matt Monson 04-04-2014 06:22 PM

I hope he pops up. I asked the same question about a month ago and got crickets. If he shows at Cars n Coffee tomorrow someone please tell him we would love to know he's doing all right.

fbarrett 04-04-2014 10:09 PM

I've been meaning to call Grady for a few days. The last time we talked, he was busy helping with a robotics project at the local high school.

1911Guy 04-05-2014 06:48 AM

I chatted with him at the grocery store about a month ago - just a busy guy.

I like the sound of that. Tell him "hi" from all of us when you get a chance!

djpateman 04-05-2014 02:43 PM

I second the "Hi", I miss his sage advice.

Oldporsche 04-05-2014 05:01 PM

I wish him well. I met him many years ago at the Warbonnet Tech sessions that were held in Tulsa.

I even have one of his posters he made for this shop.

fanaudical 04-05-2014 06:37 PM

I hope that Grady is doing well. He gave me some very sage advice when I was just starting with my project. All the best to Grady!

Your 18th post is spent denigrating the value of one of our most important members? You, sir, are a class act.

I've been doing this Internet thing a long time. You can delete that offensive post. But when I quote that post it lives in infamy.

Meh. Just more of that internet courage thing. If he had to use his real name and state his actual location, his bravery would evaporate instantly. Like every other keyboard warrior out there.

No doubt about that!

I made the possible connection between "Zeb" and the other MM aliases when I noticed that he recently made a post in the infamous MotorMeister thread saying only "back in the saddle again", plus, Sucker Fish was very fond of the "masturbation" comment back when he was posting his garbage.

Stupid iPhone and a hotel wifi. Kind of like it mangled all the formatting on this quote. Though I'm going out on a ledge here and saying the problems with my iPhone are really more related to a forum using an older software package.

24 posts on Grady Clay and not one picture.

What is the world coming to.

Early S Man and Jack Olson are already famous. Who can put a picture to the name of Grady Clay?

Chances of me meeting him are slim.

There's an old Colorado thread that was seeing some action last week. Contains some cool historical shots from the 70's and 80's. there's at least one or two of him posted there.

fbarrett 04-06-2014 03:01 PM

Talked with Grady yesterday and urged him to respond to this thread, but after seeing the above, who knows if he will?

AlexJ 04-08-2014 01:05 PM

Grady! We miss your help and advise!
Hope everything is ok with you!

Here he is way back in 1972 (upper right hand corner)

And here he is at my house a few years ago. (So never say you'll never meet him, the guy gets around!).

Yep. Here he is with his friend Rahelio and me in Kansas City back in 2008. As Kurt said....Grady gets around!

I posted back in early Nov. last year inquiring as to the latest on Grady. No news since then which is good because bad news has a tendency to travel fast. As Bob says "Hope he is just busy."

Cheers

Fishcop 04-10-2014 04:31 PM

Thanks to the quality members here for the info on Grady. I'm just pleased to hear he's out there enjoying life :)

porschenut 04-11-2014 07:51 AM

Why is it that every time there's a picture of people in a bar, everyone feels compelled to hold up their drinks? I've never understood this.

I'm sure if Grady was drinking something with alcohol in it, he'd be holding his up too.

Spoken like a true wanker, as we'd expect nothing less from a MM tool. I added to your quote for you, with the important word in asterisks to make it more accurate.

Gotta appreciate the irony of your comments. Crapping on the enthusiast group of people that MM has done such a fine job of ripping-off all these years is an impressive display of jagoff-edness. Especially on a thread inquiring about a guy who's one of the all-time greats in terms of independent Porsche support & knowledge.

Go ahead and laugh that you got another rise out of a Pelican member, just as your instigating posts are always intended to do. Fact still remains the spots on the MM leopard are the same and these sorts of "discussions" continue to substantiate that fact.

There's a special place in hell for people who run operations like MM. Have fun meeting your maker someday.....

You yahoos gotta love & hate the internet at the same time, eh? The 'net helps you bring in more suckers, but it also helps those in-the-know spread the word how much of a scam MM is. Just another great example of some wankers putting a lot of effort into wronging good honest people, instead of putting that effort into doing business the right way. Kudos to you for being able to sleep at night. I dunno how you do it.

Jerome74911S 04-11-2014 08:45 AM

It's regrettable that a thread about the wellbeing of Grady Clay - one of the most generous people ever to post here - has warped into a tertiary discourse about wankers. I can understand the anger those jerks inspire, though.

How about a special thread on MM wankers, and similar, including a concerted effort to reveal their true identities, whereabouts, bank account numbers, etc.

So what exactly did you "win" - definitely couldn't have been a brain cell as you've obviously still only got two of them bumping together between your ears.

And speaking of predictable, one would think that with all the creativity you show toward alternative, albeit silly and foolish, screen names that you could come up with some new slinging material, but of course, you'd have to figure a way around the ol' two-brain-cells conundrum, wouldn't you.

HE IS SO PREDICTABLE?

Look in the mirror.

Internet trolls and tough guys are impotent little people in real life. Pity them, because they cannot make themselves matter outside of the e-world, they vandalize what they can on the internet.

Grady is obviously a smart guy, and I'm almost positive he recognizes this truth, and can ignore fools and wankers.

However, the moderators will not ignore "Zeb" types if you use that little red triangle underneath each post.

I reported him this morning and hopefully someone else did as well.

Zeb is dead, as are his posts.

When you report, use the term motor-meister wacko. Don't know if it helps but I used a similar expression before and he was snuffed quickly.

Not worth responding to, as Zeb comments we quote remain. Just squeal like a little girl using the spam triangle.

All the best to Grady.
