Tom - Sorry to fill you inbox. Over the last year I have been on this
wonderful list, you have always come forward as a true Roadster friend to us
all. One day I will have the honor to meet you (maybe at Shasta) and buy
you a beer. Yes your priorities are straight which just reinforces the fact
you are a very good person indeed. Your kids are lucky to have such a roll
model to look up to - especially in today's world. I say these things not
only from my experience through this list, but from others that know you. I
hope work will let up some for you so you can get back to Roadstering this
summer. I do miss your daily inputs.
Happy Roadstering
Phil

Subject: '67 2000 Update & Thanks
Morning All,
Quick update, as I am still on the digest mode. Just too
busy at work at the moment to keep up with the list in real
time.
First: Thanks I have lots of good friend & personally know
a lot of people on the list. When all is said and done it
is not the cars, but the people I have meet that have the
been the best part of owning a roadster.
Second: the car is sold. Not sure if the buyer in on the
list, but all I got was "Brian, plays guitar, and flies
a plane (perhaps for a living?)". He was quite happy to
have found a "low number 2000" so it sounds like he knows
he got a 67 2000, and not a "MG Clone".
Third: It was my ex's property at this point. The buyer got
a heck of a deal, and she got some cash out of it. She had
no attachment to the vehicle, other than to bug me!
I've pointed out before I was quite happy with the outcome
of the settlement. I got the kids, dogs, house. That was
my priority, and that is what I stuck to. True, I still kept
all my garage stuff and the '68 2000. Yes, I still sleep on
an air mattress (which the kids love to loosen the air valve
as a joke on me).
What the heck when all it is all over, the important thing
in life is how many people we can call a friend, not what
is parked in the garage.
Cheers,
Tom Walter
