This just came down through the Fiat pipeline. I don't have any more information than this... Let's keep him and his loved ones in our prayers.

"James Montebello had something break inside his head
yesterday evening. He is in a coma in Mills and
it don't look too good. Seems like brain stem damage..

I'm not sure how many of you know him, but he is one
of the good people of the world, so put all your powers
into helping him here."

Does anyone else here have more information?

This is terrible. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I remember conversing with him on a number of occasions. Damn...am I bummed out to hear this. All my positive thoughts and energy is sent his way. Let's hope for a dramatic recovery! I've seen miracles happen before...

I just had a few emails with James on Mini mokes. He is a great resource.
I am really sorry to read this. I feel like I really know him.

I don't remember feeling this much for a man I have never met...

He is in Gods hands now....

No matter the end result...

Thanks lapuwali for all you have given me and to all the people you have touched
