Default Whatever happened to Tom the Roofer?

The guy was near the top of the list (H/C) for a long time (years ago), then he had an MMS 396 put in then disappeared, just wondering if anybody knows what happened to him and the car?

he still posts every once in a blue moon i think. i think i read that the 396 (the original at least) is no more...perhaps a sleeve problem.

Kidnaped and held for ransom.

They are asking for $50 and a Whopper.

Counter offer,$10 and a Happy meal.[Too much in my opinion,I would have offered $5.00 and a broken 941 spring.]

He's around. I think he was having some headgasket problems last I heard. Hopefully he'll surface before winter with some new ET's!
