Ok, I guess pretty much everybody already knows about it, but we've finally put a "event webpage" up...

www.ssimotorsports.com/swapmeet2

Check it out, and please spread the word (and link) !!!

cheers,

Jeroen

Got a denial letter from Medicare yesterday. Figures Fuckin Gov't...

I also talked w/ the supplier. Chair was ordered without reply from Medicare simply because I need it, whether they pay or not. Thank God I got friends in high places.
Just an update.

Brad, PM me to figure some details out...

My Tee shirt auction has closed at $405. I just got conformation that it was paid for via the Paypal link at the top. I will be doing a sweatshirt with a nicely modified tail dragger targa. I'll post a pic here when it's done. It will require me to do a few additional sketches first, so it will be awhile.

I hope this auction/ donation helps in some way.

Ok you guys who lost that auction - get over to this one and bid it up!


Shifter Auction

AAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!
The humiliation

j/k, that's one amazing amount!
Good job!

cheers,

Jeroen

I wondered where the 405$ came from... I saw who it was... LOL

I still need to get 5-6 checks into the bank on Monday.

We should be at 6k dollars. I havent had time to add everything up.

B

this is great! am very pleased to be part of this group!

This is pretty fucking incredible! $6k in what less than 3 weeks. Pretty amazing and it shows how great 914 guys are.
Geoff

James, will this shifter work in an '86 Carrera? If so I am going to jump in the bidding.

Kurt - yes.

Hello All,

I am new to this forum and am pleased at what I see. What a great use of technology!

For us newbies, could someone in the know please repost where to make paypal payments to?

Thanks,

Hey - the shifter auction got Dave another $222.50! (Plus a shifter).

The money will be delivered to you (Brad) at the swap meet.

I ma uploading pics of the complete shifter to my site today if you guys want to see it. The one shown is the one that will go to Dave.

Looks awesome, Thanks James
Do you need my core? Can I get the 18% shortened throw?

Yes, I could use your core. You want 18%? No problemo.

Just need an address

sent you mail...

ditto

Brad,

Thanks for the hint on the link. I am a sucker for a good cause. I hope he gets his chair soon. Now if there were just some way to fit it into the teener......



Yeah, I am a quick study when it comes to geek things like this. I just found this site and found a lot of helpful info in a short amount of time, so I might be sticking around a while

I think its too far away... Unless its super solid. We'll see

I recieved the 230$ today for the shifter from WEVO.

I have a lot of cash to ad up and a bank account that I need to look at... I'll have a total by Tuesday. I'm going to need Monday to recover from the swap meet.

B

mmmmm meat

Hows about an update guys! Any luck with the chair yet? How about the van!

I got a POS loaner chair. Medicare denied claim, twice. Van is still up in the air. My aunt has a lawyer looking into the denials...

Jamie, aren't you in Vancouver? If so, check this THREADout. Maybe you can see if its a rust bucket.

Your boys are adorable!!

Jen

Thanks

Ok OK.. I will know by Saturday our exact total to date. I deposited 12 checks from various people and a couple hundred in cash from sticker sales.

When all the checks clear.. we are golden.

Dave.. stop playing with the pics.. it makes your kid look like he has a skin disease or something.


B

at least his kids wont grow up and look like this!

His hair is STILL green.

Damn, I've got pics somewhere....

I'm new to 914world.com, I did have had the honor of meeting Dave and his family before. Outstanding people. They didn't know me from Adam and allowed me to participate in a very special family event.

Dave, you let me know if there is anything I can do for you down here in the Bayou State!!!! I just added a little more to the pot!

Brad, I think the problem is that old pos camera he uses. I have used it a couple of times and its an old digital one. Course, its better than no camera!
Geoff

Geoff, can you get Daves address for me. Need to send him ..... well, it's a surprise my MIL got him.
bruce

Yeah, I'll have to drive over there to get it.

Hey Brad,

I just put a check for $40 in the mail to you today for the wheelchair fund.
This is money that was raised (after expenses) from the few 914 license
plates that I sold to 914world.com members on my thread a few weeks ago.
I trust that you will see that this donation gets to the proper account.

Thanks,
John

Cool.. NO problem.

I need to post a total.. but money is still trickling in.

B

I had talked about my aunt and her boss (a lawyer) fighting the Medicare denial before. My aunt doesn't want jinx anything, so she hasn't confirmed it. Meaning... all or most of the donations will be going towards an accessible vehicle.

The chair I have know sucks @$$... I cant wait. Really.

We went to the Mariner's game yesterday. I rode in the loaner chair, and we rode the bus downtown. Keone loved every second. My brother and wife also had a great time. Seeing them happy makes me happy, although uncomfortable b/c of the shitty chair. When I get my real chair and van, I might just be able to thank everyone IN PERSON

I love being mobile, again

BTW thats how Keone rides w/ me...

Thats his favorite toy in his mouth. A skateboard.

Makes me proud

Great pics..

I hadnt seen you post in awhile and wondered what was up ..

I know we have a little over 11k right now.


B

those white shoes are blinding me.

keone looks happy ridding shotgun.

I saw this on ebay! Not sure if you've found a van yet?
Van

WOW! good find Jamie. And it's right in his area too
bruce

We found a Eurovan on eBay. I sniped it last night. I am doing a new web page right now, to show and tell. Brads workin' on the details...

More to come.

It needs some 16" fuchs.

so do I !!!!! lol, nice van- how much did the ziggy marley van sell for?

Kewl euro. I can't wait to see it slammed with like 20" wheels and fat colored tires. Red is great for a two tone or tribal graphics. If it's lowered the lift won't have to raise as far.

slam it to the ground.. use airbag suspension to lift the chair!
then all you need is a pair of fly-ass dubs!

Van is purchased and a deposit has been made on the lift. Now to get the van to the lift place and get it installed.
