I have an idea to help new member Mary Shortridge, People within driving distance of Garden City KS read up Options

[rick 918-S]

Any local World people who are driving distance to Garden City KS and can assist this new member I would appreciate it.

With Mary's permission I suggest a cruise day to her location. As part of this cruise I would suggest the locals inventory the parts she has and help her get what she needs to complete the work on her brothers car.

If you haven't read this you need to.

I hope I haven't over stepped my bounds by suggesting this Mary. But I really think you need a good start here. This is a very helpful group. Don't be shy and we will help.

I've got set of new 1.7 Bosch plug wires I'll send. I'll check further and see if I've got anything else.

Hi Marc,

That would be great - thanks!

[Mary Shortridge]

I just found out about this thread from Mike, and again, I sit here at my computer, speechless. Your generosity is overwhelming. I have never heard of anything like this...
I say "Thank You" from the bottom of my heart. This little car is the beginning of something REALLY BIG.
I am racking my brain, trying to come up with something I can post that would let you know a bit about who my brother was. He was a lot like all of you, generous to others. He would be VERY pleased at how far Buttercup has come.
I am VERY pleased to reimburse you for shipping expenses.
Again, a BIG THANK YOU to all of you at 914World.
~Mary & family

Mary,

Let me explain something that is unusual in the world today. 914 owners are a bit tribal. We take care of our own. Your brother was our "lost" brother, and we feel the loss of him strongly because we never got to know him. These little cars do weird things to people, maybe it is all the rust getting under your skin or something. But we want the car complete so we can honor our "Lost Brother".

If you have some pictures of him, with and without his 914, please post them. We would love to see them.

And if you have time, please join some of us in Arkansas at the MUSR. You can see a bunch of crazy car folks. If you want info about the event, contact me.


Thank you for letting us help.

Clay,

Thanks for so eloquently putting in words how I know I feel - and how I know 914 World feels.

It's a 914 thing...

Cheers!
