>> Subject: [DeTomaso] Great things that have happened because of
>> This
>> List (many moons ago)
>> This morning I posted on Facebook a flashback from 1997 or
> 1998 -
>> see
>> attached photo. It's a picture of my first Pantera parked on
> the
>> streets of Paris with US plates on the back and the Eiffel
> Tower
>> in the
>> background.
>> Thanks to Mike Drew for convincing me to have an adventure in
> my
>> Pantera and ship it, as this decision opened up a whole world
> to
>> me and
>> helped define my philosophy for the next decades... The number
> of
>> adventures I've had since then in a Pantera...
>> At the time, I had recently been transferred to France, and
> flew
>> back
>> to the US to put my former '72 Pantera on a boat to ship it
> over
>> (See
>> article in 1999 POCA Profiles about shipping a Pantera to
> France
>> for
>> what was supposed to be a 6-month assignment...)
>> While driving the car from Collector's Choice in Wisconsin to
> NY
>> and
>> the ship, it developed an engine problem. I was stranded on
> the
>> NYS
>> Thruway and ended up having the car towed to my parents' house
> in
>> Syracuse, NY. Long story made short - I already had my return
>> airline
>> ticket, and had to leave the car behind. A local garage found
>> that the
>> problem was the dreaded distributor shear pin that had, well,
>> sheared,
>> and left me stranded.
>> Forest Majors - who I had never met (and still haven't!) but
> had
>> gotten
>> to know thanks to the e-mail fA^3rum sent me a note out of the
>> blue
>> asking how he could help. I had a friend drive my car shipped
> to
>> his
>> house in CT, where Forest was kind enough to fix some minor
>> things that
>> he noticed along the way that were quite helpful, and stored
> the
>> car
>> for me until it could be delivered to the port. If I remember
>> correctly, he even pulled a few parts off a spare Pantera he
> had
>> to
>> help me be on my way.
>> People I had never met in person - Mike Drew and Forest Majors
> -
>> who
>> each did a good deed for someone they didn't know personally
>> either but
>> had come to "know" virtually, asking for nothing in return.
>> I still see a lot of that spirit on this list today, which is
> no
>> doubt
>> one reason for its success. Thanks to all who make it so!
