Re: [AMC-list] Metropolitian fire engine, John Mahoney sighting & John O'Quinn's old car collection

["Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been trying to get John Mahoney to rejoin the old amc-list here, as his postings 
usually left one scratching a body part wondering where he came up with comparisons and 
links, always quite thoughtful and yes, many times, riddled with riddles and need a 
thesaurus to figure them out, quite complex. Here was another email he sent me recently, 
we still communicate every now and then:

Time to say "Ciao!" and "Toot-a-loo!"

Whatever you see yourself driving, drive it safely and wear your belts!

========================
on the John O'Quinn comment above, John had a formidable car collection here in Houston, 
and was a really nice guy to talk to...really approachable and loved cars. Also had more 
money than everyone on this list combined will see in lifetimes, even if Shirley McLaine 
with 10 lifetimes. But never let go to head, just a uber rich car guy who you would see at 
Autoramas and sometimes smaller shows around Houston.

He DID have a Nash Healey.....a 1913 & 1965 Rambler, the 65 was a Ambassador, and a Jeep 
or two, but go check out his collection, this was the "known list"

and he died speeding on Allen Parkway about 11 miles from me, it is curvy street running 
next to Buffalo Bayou where you can catch a delicious three headed catfish to cook over a 
hot, open tire under bridge there, quite filling, although glowing. But not a street to do 
40-50mph on, even when dry, so 60mph in rain took him and his lawyer friend out when oak 
tree went thru Surburban on rainy Houston day. Too bad. Was nice guy. I do not know what 
happened to the car collection, but originally his dream was to open a old car museum to 
show off his collection here in Houston.
