Hey Dan, can you post an update to the email list? I won't be able to get an email to it today.

Thanks!

Sure! Done..
cross posting here as well..

Here is a recent post from the KCWS board.
Jim, Call me tomorrow!!
Dan

---------------------------------------------------

Lin just heard from Scott! The car has been delivered! Said Jim took it for a drive, came back smiling from ear to ear, commenting about the pickup, how smooth the engine ran, and how good the car looks!

Joel, go ahead and post photos here and on Rennlist as soon as possible.

Jim was so touched, health permitting, he hopes to drive to RennTreffen this year!!! He had just received treatments, and we are optimistic about how things are going.

Scott is taking a circuitous route back to KC.

-----------------------------

Here are some pictures that were posted to the KCWS.org board.
For you that don't have access to the board, I'll post the pictures here.

I have a lot of large size pics but no server to host them on. Is there some way I can get these to an admin to post on our behalf?

You can either email them to me or if you have an FTP program we may be able to set you up with access.

I just saw you are a rennlist member, You can upload them to the rennlist picture site. Probably the best place for them.

I can't log into the Rennlist gallery - says my username is not valid. So I made on on KCWS and made it public so I hope everyone can see. There's some 50 photos.

There was some very definite attention to detail. The dash photo is the one where first noticed it. But, actually it's that way on every part of the project.





I just spoke to Jim and he is thrilled. The car is just amazing.

Thanks for posting the pictures. Hope you don't mind me reposting a couple of them here.

Lisa and I just pullled in.... man, are we beat! It was great to see Jim be able to take a drive in the car, and you could tell they were pretty excited by the fact that they filmed us pulling up! lol

I'll post more tomorrow, but I really need to crash now...

Okay, I am finally coming back to life! Last I heard, Jim and Candy were still thrilled with how the car was running and looked, so I think its time we call this one a "project" and unsticky it from the top. Its been a pleasure to have been involved with such fine folks across the board, and be able to do something that REALLY matters for another person in our community!

Y'all are the greatest!

Here's a couple of pics of Jim and Candy with their car during the delivery... (I'll try to edit for size in a bit)

Jim has passed on.

Too much to say, not able too at the moment.

Godspeed Jim, you were a true friend.

Sorry to hear. We never met, but I will always remember "Der Cupmeister" for his many amusing and memorable contributions to these Porsche email lists and forums. God bless.
