Here's the skinny, I spoke with Brad. We have an idea how much the van bill is going to be and it looks like were short. Between now and Sunday night we need everyone to hit the PayPal account as hard as you can. It's easy. Every can afford something. Come monday Brad will contact his benifactors and ask them to make up the balance. I don't want him to have to do that. This was our project together. I want us to finish it. Don't worry about donating too much. There is a 914 Club Event coming up. The balance can be used for that.

I want you to think about how long we have been working to help Dave and his family out. Were at the finish line with fresh tires. We just need to take a shortcut onto pit road for a splash-and-go to to Win. If you never felt Victory now is the time!

Yeah. This is hard for all of us. I HATE asking for anything.. I'm really good at giving, but the time is now. I know we will be short...if we run over.. I can actually send it back to people or dump into a new shirt run "I paid for Daves Van" ...LOL

Help us help Dave.

I promise we will NEVER hold another fund raiser (until I need new race car tires) LOL

b

Alrighty then.

I think I want something tho -- I think I want more pics of the alien 918 that is living at Rich's place!

Even more, I wanna see it running! (yeh, rich will whack me with a fish soon... )

But I'm happy to help push the van to conclusion, tho it better be able to drive up to seattle. (now to run out for some Bud)

kim.

That's what I'm Talkin About! We can Do this.

B

Thanks to all of you so far... I got so used to seeing 5-10$ increments.. I forgot what 50$ looked like..LOL


b

225$


Who the heck is "goflyakite@cox" ?? LOL I recognize most emails but didnt know that one.. pretty funny.

And yes.. I could search the admin area for the email address.. I'm lazy.


B

That would be me.

Oh..

Thanks man.


b

How much are we short? What's the goal here?

275$

We dont know exactly how short we are. We wont know that until Monday. But just from some quick math... WAY short.

I dont want to give any numbers. It doesnt make sense. I have people in the wings to take up the BIG slack.. but I dont want to pull the resource if we dont have too.

Just when I thought we where done with the checks.... LOL I used to spend hours signing checks and making deposits when we first did this with the 5$ stickers. It almost killed me.


B

I'm not that smart. I'll try to figure it out. I'm waiting for my wife to get home so I can do my part. ( can't figure out the paypay either ) I'll have her add the Donation link too..

depending on 'when' the van is done, I could still help get it to him, providing there's
alittle bit of the fund remaining to get me home!

395$

Someone is watching the thread.

RE: getting the thing moved

I can go 7 hrs either way from San Jose. That is, I can find a way down to pick it up and bring it up to God's Country (aka: the Bay Area) or I can take it north from GC for 7 or 8 hrs and leave it with someone and find my way back. (i.e. I'll take a second car either way)

kim.

425$
