[s-cars] Robbery....LeMans Classic video lost forever!!

[saltinot at alltel.net]

Last Monday I came home from work to find my home vandalized and robbed and I regret to report that my sony camcorder containing my LeMans Classic video was taken.  I hate this.....I hadn't had a chance to finish creating a few more .avi from the trip.  There was a unbelievable parade lap of rare and exotic cars unlike any other I have ever seen.  I have some on another tape so maybe I can use that, but still I hate that it happened.

Another blessing came from the local Audi dealership.  I had called them requesting new dust boots for the ball joints on my control arms on my S4.  They forgot to order them and therefor my S4 sat for one more weekend up on jack stands with the front suspension removed (I'm replacing all the bushings BTW).  Well, it didn't dawn on me until about a week later that the thieves could have stolen my car if it hadn't been disabled.  I started looking for the keys....found them.  But I could find the key to my Mercedes E-class that I never drive.  Well, I found them in the Merc ignition switch still turned to the on position!!  Good thing I took the battery out!!  nanny nanny boo boo thief-boy!!  I'm just very glad that the S4 wasn't drivable or it would have definitely been on the list of items stolen.  Thanks sorry parts guys!! :-)

I hope everyone got a laugh from seeing my eyelids flapping in the wind down the Mulsanne Straight, cause there more than likely won't be any more......darnit!
