JD, sorry for your loss.

Totally understand the therapeutic value of these cars.....been there more than once....

 

Sorry to hear, Beran.

 

That is the problem, not anticipated and there are a lot of unanswered questions. This is hard for me, so thank you to my sort of adopted 928 family. I know there are good people here and that's why I was comfortable to mention this in the first place. I hope to meet some of you in the future. Tried hard to get to "Camp 928", maybe next time

Just seeing this....sorry for your loss JD. I know that feeling too well, and I also understand the quiet 928 drive as therapy.

 

So sorry for your loss.

Deepest condolences.

Brian.

 

Condolences to you and your family. I just watched the Top Gear episode a couple days ago where Clarkson drove a 928 and his memory of a 928 during a family tragedy. Made me think about how these cars can be very therapeutic.

 

I'd forgotten that my car was called Elsie by its previous owner, after his late mother. He bought it with the money she left him, and was clearly reluctant to sell it on, even after 15 years.

Cars are important. Take comfort in anything you can.

 

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but I'm glad your love of this car has brought you some solace, however so slight.

 

Sorry for the loss.

I lost my crazy smart precious metal refining uncle last year, my mom in 2012 and grams (both grandmothers actually) several plus years before that. My one grams had a really funny foul mouth (which I found amusing for mid 90's year of age), but took her grocery shopping every Saturday in Mission Viejo, CA. No problem grams, lets go to market, nursery for flowers and her other miscellaneous errands.

If you don't mind I'll share a pic of me lighting some candles for grams on her birthday! She was great too.




Try to recall the good times.

 

Ah, JD, firstly, so sorry about your Mum.

Both my parents, are into their early 80s, and well 'ish but both have niggly health issues as one may expect.

I thought at first it inappropriate that I should offer my condolences to you as I am on the other side of the world, unknown personally, and heaven forbid a noob...

...Until my Dad said something today when I brought him back home from visiting my mum at the rest home where she is temporarily staying whist he recovers from major surgery, yes he is a fit old b##&a!! and she could be at home with us now, however he wants some space!!! go figure.

Anyway, he said:

"Steve, when the sh$t hits the fan and I am that close to the end, please take me for a quiet drive in your Porsche"

I immediately thought of your thread and reflected on your "drive".

Again, my thoughts are with a Rennlist friend.
