10:00 Thursday morning a fellow VW enthusiast and his 67 beetle left us. His name was Eric and he was on his way to work .He had the green arrow to turn on to his normal route when a drunk driving a honda CRX ran a red light at 65 mph and nailed the driverside door. He had some faults as we all do but was a good man. I trully enjoyed working with him at the vw shop in my afternoons. Luckly the police said he was killed instantly , otherwise I fear that he would have had to endured more pain than is imagineable. As can probably be assumed, there was nothing but a mangled mess left of his car and he did not fare any better. I have no T-3 content for this posting BUT let this be a reminder that we are indeed fragile beings and if we are to continue enjoying this hobby that we love. And to continue enjoying the company of those we care for ,,,, We must all be more aware of our suroundings when driving our VWs. an impact at 65 would have desrtoyed almost any car and its occupants , but we would fare pretty bad at almost any speed. SO Please be carefull and watch the other driver... We dont need to lose any more of us good folk. -----Bryan Henryvw@ij.net ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
