If you think this club is about more than just the cars you have Phil to thank for it. He is one of the forefathers that showed us all how to be a community.

A little more info on Phil. The owner of Brumos offered to sell him the silver 916 years ago and he didn't have the money. They wanted 10k or something stupid like that for it.

PM sent..

Hey guys!

Print a couple of pics of your restorations, your engine project, anything and send some snailmail to Phil.

Phil is the true definition of a 914 nut and can use some mail to keep his mind off of things.

Think of the time you "waste" on 914club, and devote 10 minutes of that time and write Phil a letter.

You don't even have to know Phil or have ever met him. Phil doesn't care. He already knows you... he's a 914 maniac like all of us!

Just PM or e-mail Racerbvd for his snail mail address and he'll send it to you.

As far as I understand, Phil isn't on the computer, so you need to break out a pen and paper, or type something in your word processor.

Thanks!

I know Phil will appreciate hearing from the 914 community!

Thanks guys, Phil didn't get any pictures or notes yesterday, and there was a very noticeable difference in his mood, these little notes & pictures really do help him have a better day, his cancer is terminal, he isn't going to get better, so all that we can do is make what time he has left comfortable, so please take a few minutes to write a note about your 914 and send a few pix, this really does help him a lot.

Watched the GP with Phil today and he showed me the pix you guys have been sending, he is very proud of them, and Karl, your project looks a lot like mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) What pinball machine is that?? Please guys, keep the pix & notes coming, you may not relize how much this is helping him. He did have a fall the other night and hurt his back, so your pix are helping take his mind off the pain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Rick, he really is enjoying your pix. Phil love to look at the pix and figure out what parts are what is stock (again Rick, Phil had a great time trying to figure out your engine shot, he called me when he opened your package to have me come up and help him figure out what you are running (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Thanks Again,
Byron

Thanks Racerx7,

Phil isn't doing very well right now, the tumor on his brain may have grown, his memory is really bad now, and the out look doesn't look good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Phil got a few more of your note & pictures today and that did lift his spirits, so please, lets keep these going, and I saw in another threat, that one of our 914 brothers out of Cali has gone to Iraq, we should send him some notes too.

Thanks again guys, this really means alot to Liz & I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad2.gif)
