Do you ever have a bad day? Well today looks pretty normal - for me-
I couldn't even type my own IQC # properly. The CORRECT ICQ # is 20747587
SORRY

>Hello Listers,

> I have been collating all the information that people sent with regard
>to
>this 'Help List' and thought that I should give you all an up-date on the
>progress so far. Many people have said that they would be happy to have
>their names added to the list, but not included the necessary information,
>so if you haven't already done so, would you please take the time to do so.

> It is my intention to put the information onto my webpage - I should
>point
>out here that I do not maintain that, a friend of my husband's does, so
>changes to it would be at his convenience - but I also mean to keep a
>register on my computer here. As I see it, not everyone has access to the
>internet on their travels, and so a telephone contact number where the
>closest person willing to help could be found would be advantageous. To
>this end I would like to be able to have at least one person per state who
>is willing to have their number given out over the web. This contact person
>would not necessarily be the person giving the help, but finding someone
>close to the locale of the emergency. There may not be one person in each
>state, but we will see, especially as time goes by and enthusiasm for this
>list waxes or wains.

> My husband 'retired' from the restoration and maintenance of British
>marques, and we now work from our home, so I am usually available, either
>by the computer or the telephone, but a telephone call to Texas may not be
>practical.

> I joined ICQ (ICQ ID#20747568), and that provides instant messaging, so
>if we could persuade every contact person to join too, we could have a
>quite impressive respone rate.

> I believe the information we would need - to begin with anyway - would
>be
>as follows:-
>
> Name
> city and state
> distance willing to travel
> telephone number
> e.mail address
> ICQ#
> [I am including their address for those of you who want to look at the

> level of assistance available (this category would be quite voluntary,
>and
> possibly negotiated at each occurence of help given. It could
>range
>from moral support with thermos of coffee to full shop equipment
>and
>towing etc.)
>
>
> I am prepared to _try_ to monitor all requests for emergency help from
>here, but as I said, telephone calls to Texas are not always practical.
>However, if contact can be made through the net that will be of no
>consequence. I have made a list of those of you down under, but it is only
>small to date - amy more takers?
>
> Just as a thought, how about linking up with other LBC helpers lists?
>Does anyone have a problem with that? I have sounded out one or two of the
>others and they don't seem to mind the idea.
>
> I would like to get this project underway as soon as possible, so let me
>have that info please.
