cookie Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 former pres of GM and inventor of the GTO and the Delorean car. When the Delorean Motor company was hard up for funds the FBI ran a sting on him offering him coke sales to fund his company. I am in San Carlos Ca in the building that used to be Eureka bank who helped to fund Delorean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hondasucks Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 ahhh ok I got it now.. I used to want one of those until I found out what engine they used. Peugeot V6.. The oil pump uses STEEL gears, but the housing the gears ride in, is cast into the aluminum block... Score the pump, and you scrap the block... Also found in Peugeots with the V6, and the Volvo 760... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NV Zeno Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Wasn't John arreasted in L.A.? The bank location is right, wasn't that the branch on ElCamino Real? My grandma had a bunch of money in there at one time, during the years (way back) she lived in Belmont, couple blocks off Ralston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted February 18, 2004 Author Share Posted February 18, 2004 at 1250 San Carlos Ave, about a block from El Camino. If you ever see the video on the History channel that was shot up stairs. The building is much the same in that area. SamTrans bought it as headquarters for pennies on the dollar when Eureka Bank lost your grandma's money.

NV Zeno Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 Nah, her money's safe, pulled out when she moved to Sunnyvale. When I was in that neighborhood a couple of years ago, a lot of the buildings looked the same as when she moved there, in the early 60's. Hey, is the Lariat Bar still there? On El Camino, west side, between Ralston and Holly (closer to Ralston)? Grampa's hangout;) . (edit) IIRC, real close to Harbor(St., Blvd., whatever).
