We had about 8 guys gathered at Mosport this month, and this was certainly a topic of discussion. Mike Galloway is in very poor health at the moment, and barely able to get about. It was great to talk with him when we were at Mark Henry's shop that weekend. Mark himself is trying to recover from hernia surgery and other ailments as well. Both Mark and Mike are trying to scale back from doing repairs. None of us are young anymore and most are about 70 give or take. We talked about a few shops the guys knew of, but none that we could take our cars to at this time. I will poll the guys, and see if we can come up with a shop that can take our work.
I am open to emails on the subject. Dave |

There must be some young guys looking to take over Myself I am in the 4th quarter and on my 4th 914 restoration, and running my small business 50+ hours and not ready to slow down, but I might be one of the lucky ones. Add 6 local grand kids and it makes for not a boring life Located in Buffalo, right over the border, but probably have very little time available except for a consult or two over a beer |
