Jim, never met or talked to you, however your posts were most informative and funny at times.
Remember: One door closes another opens.
Good Luck.

I don't know...but is this truly a sign of the apocalypse?......does this mean we are losing a 928 supplier?...Do we have to use other means to get our parts now?...all these pages and no closure?...

thank the gods you are at least still around!

let me know when you are going up this way, I owe you more than a few beers for all the great help you've been over the years. in fact, if it wasn't for you, 928 intl and a couple of others - my shark ownership would have ended years ago.

does this mean you'll have more time to cruise rennlist and help work on sharks? hmmmm... this might not be so bad ya know, going w/out a check can be a bit unsettling. if you need something to do, I'm sure we can drum up some work for you know how to fix 928 electrical gremlins? hahaha

and best wishes,
rvr

Talk about being blind sided!

Jim, you are a cornerstone of the 928 community and always will be no matter where life takes you. Just be sure to keep your nose on RL as we all need your advice and enjoy your stories and sage words of wisdom regarding life and our cars.

Gawwd forbid...dont ever give out your cell or home number!

Tony (and Darien) stranded and then saved by Jim on the side of the road 30 NW of Vegas...not a relay...but a fuse, fuse, fuse!


friend!

I think Mark owes us all an EXPLIANATION. There are hundreds of places to get 928 parts and advice. This sould be very good for the other suppliers. What will Mark do when his phones stop ringing.

Yes REALLY...... A 928 part is a 928 part and thats all. The person that sells it to you is what makes the difference.

I don't think Mark OWES us anything, the reasons are between Jim and Mark.

I am sorry to see Jim go.

You are correct about the person making the difference. So it's a good thing most of us consider Mark Anderson a good friend as well as Jim.
I have no idea who you are, but your comments towards Mark are very uncalled for.

Mark Anderson has done countless things over the years to support the 928 community. It's too bad you are not aware of this.


Not to mention DR, Carl, Roger, the boys in Utah.......just to name a few others so it doesn't look like I'm playing favorites

You should visit OT. Many people over their think people owe them things too. You would get along great.

That's the best idea I've read in this whole thread. Jim, if you make it up to Santa Barbara let me know.

Floored.

Like everyone else, I sit with the deer in the headlight look.

I think we can all celebrate the service that Jim has given to the community over the years. There just may not be enough good things to say about the man...I've tried.

I do trust that whatever decision you have made Jim (or have been dealt), it is the right one.

I wish you all of the best that I have to offer and I do hope you do not stray too far from the ones that love you here.
