Default Another Great Wine Gift - Thanks Mike (Arena993) LOTS OF PHOTOS

I had the opportunity to give a fellow Rennlister (Mike, AKA: Arena993) a hand.

There was no doubt that Mike appreciated the help. He took me out to lunch, dinner with my wife at a top notch restaurant, and breakfast the morning of the trial. More than enough. But Mike, being Mike, went one step further and sent me a basket containing numerous tasty treats and best of all, three bottles of great wine!

Very nice Mike, thanks again.

Now, for the record, this is my third wine gift.

I loaned Shawn (SWMIC) my stock mufflers and he sent me three bottles.

I helped Rich (Falcondrivr) with his acquisition of a set of wheels and he sent me a two bottle of wine.

So, I believe this is a sign that I need to set up a wine tasting trip to the Napa Valley in Central California! Thanks guys

Once again, is this a great place or what!

Very cool, and kudos to you for all you did to help him out. I read his post, and I must say, it was most generous of you to open your house to him.

I've never seen such a group of people on a web forum. Gives me hope every day

Excellent!

Oh... and if anyone needs assistance in the Little Rock, AR area, I'm running low on wine. ;-)

That right, we did a steering wheel install. The dog get some donuts, but I was rewarded with a great Porsche travel coffee cup that I still use!

With all the BS going on in the world, I love to come here, where many people still have integrity and moral character. It brightens my day. Thanks you guys!

Chuck, if you ever come up this way to go wine tasting in Napa, please let me know. That would be a great Porsche trip!

LOL... Chuck, that's a great cup... I've used mine for about 4 years now and still looks great and keeps my java warm. I agree with Darrin... it's great to have friends like you and many others here.
