Jim,
This REALLY blows! Good luck with your litigation. Non illegitima carborundum
(don't let the bastards grind you down)!

PREDICTION - Jim will be back next year with an outlaw coupe . . . .
This goes out to my Brutha from that different mutha, that Pineapple head, let me take a video of it first partner that never lets anyone eat alone or drink for that matter... The man who I think can run for mayor of SOC-ville, the honest, low glide man himself Jimbo MUSBJIM partner to Ginny... Dude are you kidding me! Between your lawsuit and my job searches I believe we are probably related somewhere down the road Bro... LOL.. Bottom line you know and I know that this too will pass and we'll see you on the road again in whatever car you choose to drive, because you know it was never just about the car/s... That crap is just fiberglass and badges... that don't matter and it never did and it never will when talking about YOU as a person and man.. Ginny is blessed to have you as you are with her. I am a better person for knowing you and I've always enjoyed our time together too! Now Vince is another concern... Well I guess he's cool as long as he brings the Oban! Hope to see you in Morro Bro, we'll see how things work out over the next two weeks...
Stop it, I'm getting all weepy....
Its a bummer, but s**t happens. The way I look at it, the car was just a buy-in to join the crazy group of knuckleheads....I mean friends I've met on here. Thanks guys, but it will all work out.
Like my buddy Vince says...'Don't pet the sweaty things'!

Sorry to hear that Jim. You really loved that car.
If it's any comfort, I had two partners that ripped me off too. Both are dead at an early age ( natural causes for both- from excessive lifestyles on what they stole from others). I didn't shed a single tear for either of them and have outlived them by 20 years.

I must agree with Jim on this, even after I sold my VS i didn't let it separate me from the group. The ghia was just the ugly duckling for a while....This group of misfits is the bomb....
Jim, I hope your legal battle goes your way and you get top dollar for your Speedster. I'm sure we'll see you back behind the wheel of a 356 replica in the not-to-distant future.

Vince, stop it. I'm getting teary-eyed. ;)
Jim, I see a Spyder in your future. Merklin's got one. It's probably going to be for sale 'bout the time you kick that guy's a** -- legally.

David said "you know it was never just about the car/s... That crap is just fiberglass and badges... "
Some of us don't have badges, some of us do, but we all gots the fiberglass. ;)
(couldn't resist)

We like badges!!! Lots of 'em.
Its funny how the guys on this site that I've known only a few years, are truer friends than people I've known for 4-5 or 6 times that length.
Consider;
1. Had our sailboat at the same slip in the marina for 15+ years. Not ONCE, did anybody EVER say "Hey Jim, while your boat is in dry-dock repair, you're welcome to take ours out for a sail".
2. Had 25+ years membership in Porsche clubs (PCA, POC). Not ONCE did anybody EVER say "Hey Jim, while your engine is being rebuilt, you're welcome to borrow our Porsche".
THAT difference, my friends, is what makes the guys/gals this site waaaaaay better that the others!

Sooo true Mickey... Besides if I lend Jimbo my ride it is sure to be returned with a full tank of cheap gas and Low-rider blasting on the radio! how can you go wrong with that...
Last time I loaned Jimbo my speedster, it came back with dingle balls all around the windshield...and a Sarape covering the back seat....Oh the humanity...
I say we start a new thread where we all help Jim with his new speedster, the one he'll be driving after he sells this one, wins his legal battle and gets back to being Jim.
OK, i'll go start in Events because as we've seen in the past, it is an EVENT when these things happen.

Mickey,
Why don't we all chip in and buy Jim's current speedster and hold on to it until he's back in the black.
SOC Pawn Shop...

Great idea, then Jim would be buying us all egg sammachs ("vig" sammaches?) for years!
Jim, how's the sale going? Any nibbles?
Jim WTF???? on so many levels. I am speechless.
You can drive mine in Carlisle, and anytime you are in upstate NY.

ooops...gotta stop smoking crack when I'm on the computer...
I haven't really pushed the 'sale' thus far. I'm working on a couple of other 'angles' to fund my legal expenses. I'm also waiting to see if the defendant(s) replies with a settlement offer to avoid getting 'posterized' in a jury trial. Keeping in mind that 'what's right' is a different world from 'what's law'.
Peace - Out!
Peace - Out!
Jimbo---man, you got that one right.
I was once told by a lawyer "we don't practice justice, we practise law!" Damned sad but true.
Sounds like you have a "plan B" working----good to hear.

Jack, How come????
Doctors practice medicine and lawyers practice law. Don't you think they should have to know what they're doing before they take money for it?
When they're done practicing and turn pro then they could get paid
Jim, good luck with the future "BIG Fight"

Jim.....Parting with that car is going to create one hell of a vacuum...... Of course you already know this as the whole situation SUCKS!!!! Onward and upward good budy.
Do NOT get me started on lawyers. In my work as a Business Broker I have seen it all. Is there a profession other than law where one deliberately twists and distorts facts to make chicken salad out of chicken s**t?
From Chicago (the movie) "are you gonna believe me or your own eyes?"
This is why I hope Jim works his issue out rather than having to deal with some shyster lawyers.

I sure hate to see you sell the car, but I understand the situation. Maybe it's time for a coupe or Spyder? Anyway, I know you said the car would not be available until after Morro Bay, but if you have to let it go early to make a deal, you can use mine for the Saturday wine tour. I will drive my Jeep to take the pictures on the first leg. I may have to pull off early anyway to pick up my friend at the airport, so all this may work out just fine. I drive those roads all the time living here in the area, so I wouldn't miss much. There are just less than 380 wineries in the area and Karen and I haven't even begun to get to all of them. All this is just a thought for a Plan B.

Warren - thanks for your most generous offer of a Plan 'B'. The car sale is on hold for a short time and will be determined by the legal course I must take within the next few weeks to resolve this matter. I will send you a PM this evening regarding the photo-shoot we talked about.
I believe that I am VERY fortunate and VERY lucky to have the friends I have (aside from Vince and Gerd), much more so than the possessions I've accumulated!! 8-)
Peace - Out!

Sounds to me like Warren is turning into a regular Wino....
although there is nothing "regular" about him...
Can't wait to bust open this bottle of OBAN...

Jim, I haven't received an e-mail from you. You may have gotten my address wrong. My email is in my profile.
It sure sounds like the group AND you would be the worse for the loss of YOU! I hope it doesn't come to that.
Let me know if and when you need to take this financial step.

WTF, Man! I haven't been in here lately due to some family issues, but then I get back and, GEEZ!
Well, hope someone steps up and buys that fine Speedy to help you out AND make them happy, too. What a lousy way to have to sell it, though.
Best of luck selling it. Ain't no way you could get, like, a Gumint subsidy to junk the Rover, or sumthin instead? I think Vince is on to something......or maybe just on sumthin.....whatever.

Jim,
I'm sure prayin' for you to keep the car. I know it is very painful to be speedsterless. I hope it all works out quickly.

WoW! Just chiming in late. Jim, thought I'd never hear of this. However, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! Good luck in whatever happens.
Please contact if you must sell. Guerdon@silcom.com 805 569 3818, thanks, Guerdon.
