I dont actually know where to start.

First off I want to thank everyone for their relentless support and constributions to my "fund". I never thought I would see the day that we would have to "use" the clubsite to raise money for my bail or lawyer fees. It makes me want to puke each time I think about it.

I want to single out and personally thank a few people that where directly involved with the process. I will address the club people in another post later this week. I wanted to post and thank these few first.

1. Birgit. She watched me get loaded into a unmarked car in cuffs. She could have easily ignored the whole thing and gone back to her life and stayed out of this whole mess. Instead she dove in head first rounding up the troops, and contacted people to help with my bail. She was the frist person to visit me in San Mateo and the first person to help me get my projects organized for completion while I was "away". She has given up 100's of hours of her time to help someone she didnt have to help. For this I am greatful. Birgit, you are a great friend. Everyone should have a friend like you. I am forever in debt to you for your help and dedication to this matter.

2. Britain Smith. Britain took over all aspects of my small shop handling rent/clients/parts (without being asked to do this) Having Britain as a friend (over 10+ years now) has proved to be a great value. Very very smart young man. I have no idea why he still continues to help me after all these years. Thank you Britain. It really means a lot to me.

3.Lyressa. She could have easily turned her back on me and chose not too. Birgit and Lyressa drove down in my truck to bail me out of Joshua Tree. I never expected for her to speak to me again. Our relationship has been on the outs for several years. She chose to follow her heart. I will always hold a special place in my heart for her. I'm sorry I have put her through "car hell" all these years. 24/7 car stuff...

4.Dad. He coordinated with the "girls" and gave them a place to stay semi close to the courthouse. It reminds me of how important "family" is and how sometimes we let business/jobs/cars get in the way of "family". Dad took care of us the whole time we where in the LA area. Even took us to the Pomona swap meet on Sunday. It was a good feeling knowing that I had a home close by. Thanks dad. I owe you.

5.Richard Linsdall. I have NO idea why you are behind me and support me in this, but it is good to know I have you as a friend. Seeing you in court with my family/friends really helped relax me during that very stressfull time. Seeing people that live 7-8 hours away show up for a court date out in the middle of knowhere proved to me that I have some very strong friendships that i didnt know about. Thanks Richard. I know you beleive in me. We have been through a lot of business CRAP. Thanks again for being "there" in my time of need.

Ok. I need some time to myself to get a grasp on what is happening in my life right now. Please be patient with me. This is all I can ask. My cell phone is ringing off the hook with people wanting to know what is going on. I will NOT discuss anything over the phone. My next court dates are set for March 16+17th after those dates I willl know more about my future. Up until those dates I'm busy gathering all of my info for the lawyers.

I'm emotionally overwhelmed by the outpouring of support. I never knew so many people could support a pain in the ass like me.

Don't worry about it...Just keep your head up, and keep being a 'pain in the ass'. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

"This Too, Shall Pass" gets me through a LOT of stuff...just keep saying it to yourself. I can relate to wanting to puke while thinking of troubling stuff...Let's you know you are on the RIGHT side of the argument. People who don't care sleep fine at night. I don't assume you are getting much good sleep these days.

I hope it all works out for you Brad. I am glad you are out and able to gather up your defenses. I don't know all the details, but I hope you come out on top. Best wishes and continued support.

Yes, but you are our pain in the ass!


Hang in there - it really speaks loudly what this 'club' has been able to do. I sincerely hope everyone is listening.

Just let us know what if anything we can do to help.

Good news that you are out Brad. I havent been here in some time, and came to post a For Sale add for my 914. Since you and everyone here have been so helpful in the past I will donate 10% of the selling price towards your legal fund if it goes to a board member.

I hope all works out well for you and let me know if there is anything I can do.


Damn the man!

Thanks for the kind words. It pisses "the man" off more and more each time someone shows their support. They cannot figure out why someone "like me" has so much support. They choose to ignore everything I have done "right" in my past.

It's great to hear from you. Like everyone else I'm glad you are out.

We believe in you and your statement above proves that your heart is in the right spot.

No one wants to experience tough times but tough times bring what's important into focus. It sounds like you will appreciate and enjoy your family and friends all the more.

Behind you all the Way

What a nightmare brother! I may be a pain in your ass, but I'd never wish something like this on you. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

What 'the man' doesn't understand is that you REALLY CARE about the 914 community!

I hope things get straightened out for you soon.

Hey Sir Bradholio!

Good to see you posting. You're a humble man and don't deserve this crap. You DO deserve all of the support you are getting because if it weren't for you, many of us wouldn't know what to do with our cars. The 914 community OWES YOU. It's the least we can do to support you in your time of need.

Keep a positive attitude. What goes around, comes around. The a-hole that started this will hopefully get what he deserves!

Regards,

Qarl

Brad...

Don't forget Jeroen, Andy, & Lawrence for keeping us informed with just enough info so as not to be detrimental to your case, keeping the rumors under control, and helping to coordinate the bail fund here in 914club.

Now.... go have a beer...

Regards,

I would never turn my back on someone I've put up with for 15 years... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I could definitely give you a few extra kicks in the ass, however... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/alfred.gif)

I, too, want to thank Birgit for spearheading this whole thing. We would all have been in a world of hurt without her dedication. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif)
