This is a weekend Rally! Ok, We've done this before. The time is now. I know I can post this here because 914 guys know how to rally around a cause.

I'm going to tell you all why I come here. It would be easy to sell my car and move on to an other project or other interest. But it's the people here that keep me coming back EVERY DAY!

I've never seen a group of people come together for an other person like you all did when Dave needed us.

There are countless numbers of you that have had the benifit of the group coming together to help assemble your car or get you out of a jam, off the freeway, or simply just be here on this BBS when you had a family crisis and just needed someone to listen.

Think about why we have this BBS. This is "B"s brain child. He started it. He is the reason. He is the man. Without his vision we would be spread out everywhere and most of us wouldn't even have these cars anymore.

Now's the time people. It's Brad's turn. I'm calling you out. This time it's for Brad. I want everyone to look inside yourself. I want everyone to think what this place and these people mean to you. I want everyone to thank Brad this weekend.

Post how you feel here. I want feelings people!

I'm here this weekend in the garage. I have my tools with me. I keep them in my hip pocket. I'm reaching into my pocket this weekend and I'm offering my friend my help. Monday morning I want my friend back with me.

Will you help Too?

When I first got into 914s, there were practically no resources available at all. My best guide was the exploded diagrams in the old AA catalog. Then along came the internet with the World Wide Web and I eventually discovered Pelican Parts with their tech articles, and Yahoo Groups, then Rennlist. All of these helped a lot towards getting me going with things.

But when 914World.com got started it REALLY changed things for me. This is a place that is filled with generous, giving folks who have helped me immensely. Chief among these is Brad - whom I have never met in person, but who has helped with advise in addition to all he has done just to get this whole madhouse rolling to begin with.

I donated yesterday, I may be back in again if I can. The value of what I can donate could never match up to the value of Brad or this board that he created.

So if you haven't donated yet, shame on you. "No man is an island" as it's said. We've all gotten where we are with the help of others - it's time for all of us to step up and help Brad when he needs it, and he needs it big time.

Even if you've only posted 1 post to this board just to list a car for sale, you've benefited from Brad's efforts. It's time to pay back and then some.

DONATE NOW! (If you are in Chicago, think of it like voting - Donate early, and often)
