Default Lord_Galva's P-car Wreck: Let's convert him to a 928

P-car friends,

A fellow Rennlister, Lord_Galva, was in a serious accident and absolutely demolished his Porsche (fotos below). When he recovers, he'll be buying another P-car. Here's our chance to work on him to buy a 928 instead of a 4-banger. The way his 968 crumpled, a 928 makes sense.

Sustaining serious injuries he was recently released from the hospital and now will have to go back in again for an unknown period of additional reconstructive work and therapy. A driving goal for him is to recover enough to buy and drive a P-car again. The thread with more information on the accident and his condition is at https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...90#post4841190 “I lost my 968”.

Because his address is changing and because of his condition, I’ve volunteered to collect and forward reading materials to him during his recuperation. He loves Porsches and car-related books and magazines. If you would like to put some cheer into the life of fellow Porsche Lover who will likely be hospitalized during the upcoming holidays, you may send materials to me at the following address and I will box them and ship them to him (credit for your donation will be given as you specify):

Harvey Hughett
526 Yale Avenue North
Apt. 103, Union Bay Apts.
Seattle, WA 98109

Or email me at hhughett@hotmail AT .com for additional information or you might wish to contact him directly through Rennlist email (Lord_Galva). I'm not sure what his access to a computer will be during his hospitalizion.

I'm not related to this young man and have never met him but when you read his Rennlist posts, you'll know that he's top notch. Plus, a look at his mangled car and you'll know that he has to have an angel riding on his shoulder.

Thank you,

Harvey

Someone upstairs really looked out for him. There's a reason he's alive.

Amazing that he still is alive seing that wreck, hope he will get fully recovered.
I can not even see that it was a 968 once.
Let's hope he converts to the 928 instead.

Bah....Brian and I can buff that out. We have skillz.

That has to be the most serious Porsche crash to live through. I realize the firefighters probably cut it up to get him out, but there is still more damage than I've ever seen. I read his post recently and it's a miracle that he is alive. The recovery sounds tough, but he has a good attitude and I hope everything works out for him. 968 or 928...either one will put the smile back.

You and Ben don't like to read?

Looks like he pulled a Thaddeus and tried to avoid a deer, left the road and hit a utility pole and then a tree. A live wire from the pole started a fire.

Easier said than done - but you are almost always better off hitting the deer.

Goes to show how well these cars a built, even the 928's little brother.

That 968 is calling for our help.......a couple swings of the paintless dent removal tool & it will be good as new!!!!


I am stunned that anyone could survive that wreck.......Galva is VERY lucky!!
