[DeTomaso] Where is my Profiles?!?!?!?

[WLHPANTERA at aol.com]

Chuck:  Great ideas except that Dave Rudderow died over a year ago  :(
Kind of like Profiles...  
I gave up submitting articles (used to be a regular contributor) I'm not  
volunteering... Don't get me wrong.  We can't complain if we aren't willing  
to contribute.  It's a Catch 22 situation.  Sorry, but with my busy  
schedule, I haven't been able to write articles in the past three years.   Maybe 
some more of the "Retired" folks could help out us poor working  stiffs.  Just 
a thought.
We have transitioned to a real-time web based society & the printed  media 
is obsolete.    The present Detomaso Forum now allows a  quick note & attach 
(linked?) photos.   ... Instantly sent  across the world. Times have 
changed.  Some have suggested a merging of the  Newsletter and Profiles.  Seems to 
make sense considering the current  status of both publications.  
OK, I'm going back to my "lurker" mode.  
See you all at the Fun Rally!

I  suggest that the "feature" article does not have to ONLY be cars that  
have
just finished a complete, full, Wilkinson-style  restoration.

There are many cars with an interesting  story...

The (Pseudo-recent) Gumball Rallye car comes to mind...   (Maybe this was
already published)

The Rod Stewart (one of 3-4)  Pantera...

The Tim Horton Pantera (4557 ???) story...

Kirk Evans  did a major repair on a red Pantera GT5-S that was wrecked.
(Perhaps a  historical article on each of the vendors, still active, and 
long
gone.  

Some low-mileage car that went thru the auctions (supporting  higher
prices...)

The highest mileage car known...

The story  of the crash test cars.  

A story about an original owner, still  owner (like Dave Rudderow
or Ron Wade).

Something covering the  prototypes that didn't get made, like the Pompero,
etc...

I could go  on but you get the idea.

And yes I know it is easy to suggest "work"  that someone else 'should' do,
I get it ALL the time in regards to managing  the  registry.

Chuck
