I was just driving along in my 61 Chevy when the engine fell right out of it. I hate it when that happens.

Anyone have any info on "Helga" and its owner who used to post here? I forget the guys' name. He had to sell her because his gout had gotten worse and he couldn't handle pressing the clutch. He sold it to a guy who was gonna take her back to the original... uh... lime green (don't know the official name of that color).

The rider hit her arm and shoulder behind the cardboard sign....knocking him into the rider next to him. The gal fell back into the ditch.

The owners name was Art. Lives in Michigan. He’s not posted in a long time and I have no idea what happened to Helga.
