Post Noticed "Bigs" is no longer around

I lived on The List for awhile but life got in the way and I havent been around much in the last few years. One of the 929 owners that was always around was a Dr. named Bigs that always had good insight no matter what the topic.
What became of him?

He sold his 928 a few years ago but he's still around daily in the OT section.

We don't see him much here anymore.

I think he sold his GTS few years ago and didn't buy another Porsche.

I liked everything he wrote here too.

He's still the voice of reason over in the land of wild things.

He sold his GTS about 4 years ago, bought a MB SL55 AMG, which he sold to me about 20 months ago. He's fine, just not involved in toy cars much right now. I communicate with him via direct e-mail on occasion.

He was surprised to hear about WhiteFox. He didn't know until I sent him a PM about that thread here.

Yes... but 'he's dead Jim...'

It was always going to end badly.

Howdy guys! I'm doing fine. I sold my GTS a few years back, and without a Porsche, I haven't been around this technical forum much. I miss you guys too! I just don't have a whole lot of technical knowledge to contribute here. As mentioned above, I still make a nuisance of myself on the OT forum most days.

I thought I'd be retired by now, but my hospital came after me to serve as the Chief Medical Officer for 7 hospitals in my region, and in a fit of insanity, I agreed!

So now I'm back to working full time - and then when I get home in the evening, it's time to check the eleventy million e-mails I got during the day!

I dunno... Instead of retiring, they may just have to carry me out on a plank!

Much better than the alternative! A person needs to stay engaged to stay alive!
