anyone who pledges support for the HWFM effort at Le Mans will also receive a free 2-year Rennlist Membership.

Well, if that timing isnt just great.

Count me in for $60.00 will Paypal tonight.

So what are your particular skills and interests?

Stolen from Gone in 60 Seconds and edited to fit my liking

Benji's name is Matt and he can order a mean pizza :>)

Well, people gotta eat, right??

BTW, Mike, I would love to meet up when we have some free time.

Lastly, I second the desire for a HWFM team sticker, will look great on the quarter window of my non-moving, never ending project 951.

Wow, its a 993 invasion! Nice to have you guys over! Won;t you stay for tea? I saw this post yesterday, and went on to figuring out how I can drop any money your way, for at the moment, I am, in the team fashion, slowly saving every penny I earn for the head work I am going to get done. the head is off the car, and I haven't driven her for nearly 2 months due to consecutive problems. (turbo destroying itself, oil pressure issues, broke a tap in the head) anyhow, I am dying to donate the 60 bucks, but it just can't happen. I really shouldnt be giving anyone anything, but I love HWFM, and i want to see the team on the TRG car, so can I offer a meager 10 bucks at least? I don't expect any benefits such as the 2 year membership, or the drawings or what not, but at least I can pitch in, be it a small amount, and be proud of the team!
what say you?

I also like the idea of mini-turtle decals--would look sweet on the 3/4 window--reminds me of Mopars old "scat -pack" bumblebee.

yes, the HWFR decals are nice, the reason i havent gotten one yes it because of the white background. its a sticker as well. if there was a transparent, smaller sized window sticker, I'd be all over that. and a larger window sticker for the track!

And just to vent a little, I really HATE it when LeMans is on the same weekend as the Canadian GP!!
I never get to watch LeMans anymore!

I'm in.

I like stickers.


My particular skills and interests?

I'm probably the closest thing to a redneck on this board. I've got three dogs, two 4x4's, a boat, and a real purty wife. I don't have a gun rack in the back window, but believe me, they're in there. Every male member of my family for the past three generations served in the military, except for one. He was in prison.

I can do a lot with my hands, and what I can't do I'll lie about and tell you I can. I've got more pride than is good for me, and a temper that rivals Matt H's. I have a John Deere riding lawnmower, and I can pop a wheelie with it. (The wife damn near peed her pants laughing the first time I did it).

I'm also electrically challenged. I usually find hot wires the hard way. In fact I learn all my lessons the hard way. One of my more entertaining stories from childhood involves home-made explosives...

Hey, I resemble that comment :>)

I do not have a temper, I dont, I dont, I dont.

$60 sent!

Now, John, try to figure out how you plan on extending my life 2 years...



Either that, or shoot me an email on how I can go about giving the two years to a non member (I'd prefer the former... )

First off, John, sent you the money paypal, Second off, Mike, I like the legal clerk title, but as I was lying awake last night trying to think of a title that would rival "grid girl procuror" I thought perhaps my study of politics would allow me to be the Team's "Spin" Doctor and Campaign Manager because I feel it really holds true to all the principles the team stands for (spinning) (that is if you dont have one already). Anyways, I will of course do whatever the Big Turtle commands. Now if I can only find that teenage mutant ninja turtle costume I wore for haloween back when I was 7.....
