Just saw a familiar name…….Fred Link…I see him once in awhile…Has a shop in Bethel, Ct……..Real good guy… 🙂 And of course I spent many hours with Dick and Hank at Performance….. 🙂 My family had a home on Round Hill Rd. at the Greenwich / Armonk border so I was on the area alot…….
I knew Malcolm Pray very well….He lived about 2 miles from me and my mom was very good friends with him…I too had a small stint with the Pray dealerships in the 80’s……….Don..
Don, we have a lot in common. I was an Audi mechanic at Pray from 73 to 79. I then moved to the left coast and worked for Vasek Polak. I have had an Audi repair shop in Hermosa Beach Ca.for 30 years, Precision Motorsport inc. check it out on Yelp. My brother in law, Bob Jorgensen, Was a friend of Bobby Ingles back in the Sunoco days, ” Special Formula”. Maybe you knew him, he had a blue/green 68 roadrunner. We used to be able to hear Bobby I. ” testing ” on Saturday nights from my driveway in Valhalla. The sound would really carry across the Kensico Reservoir. That started it for me, as I can’t stop, I still bracket race a 70 Challenger out here at Bakersfield as often as I can. By the way, Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your service to our Country. I was at the recruiters office Thursday night signing for my son who enlisted in the United States Marine Corps.delayed entry program. Semper Fi. I look forward to meeting you some day. Bob Hoffman.
Hey Bob…So nice to wake up to good news and your post.. 🙂 …I remember Bob and the green Road runner…I think he was from the Thornwood area…..I was working with Bob Ingles in the late 60’s for a few years…I’ve been doing VW and Audi work for many years including a couple with Pray VW….I had a shop in White Plains and Mt. Kisco for years and a small towing business but gave it up and moved to Ct..Went to work for Audi in 1999 and I’m still at it….69 years old and I don’t see myself stopping……Give me a shout sometime, I’d love to talk to you….Cell# 203 947 0154…I too am very proud of you son…God Bless….. 🙂 ……..Don Kauer
