Between both boards this is quite impressive. My kudos to all that pulled this together and who are showing up, wish I was closer to help out.

What a group!! Proud to be a member...

Would be great to get a few local Porsches to this display - if anyone can make it to the Safari Inn today at around 5pm it would be great.

The Ferrari guys are really rolling with this, meeting point, contact info and time can be found in this thread.

This thread has put a serious lump in my throat. It's incredible to watch so many people give of themselves without hesitation to put a smile on this young man's face. I wish I could be there to watch this unfold. I'm sure the smiles this will generate will be priceless. I hope there will be plenty of pics to share afterwards. Good on all of you!

all of you that were involved or responsible for this happening are owed such a huge debt of gratitude from all of us. this having come together like this on such short notice and on tax day of all days shows the timber of the pelican and f-chat membership. what a fantastic gesture for a deserving young man.

fondly,

pcb

Many kudos to the F-car community. Not registered there, so couldn't see their pics...but tip of my hat to all.
