Jas has pulled out the most generous offer in the way of a matched donation to our member on hard times.

He has offered to match the forums donations dollar for dollar up to $2000... yes thats right but it ends Friday the 22nd at 5pm.

So far we have raised $1130 which is brilliant but the clutch alone is about $900 at a discounted price.

I will come clean and tell you it was never my intention to just fix a few things... there are so many other small things that I wanted to help with including bold tyres and so on.

How much we can do depends on you....... Please help!!!!

So if you can help out we could end up with a very healthy budget to see this car right for years to come.

I am looking into contacting some suppliers and magazines to maybe get some more exposure.

So many big hearted people have already donated (some more than I expected) so please can you help out even if it is the smallest amount..

One member who is broke is donating a gift card worth $100 which we will use to buy food and grog for our meet up at Andy's on the 6th (still working out these details).

I have done this sort of thing many years ago for a friend and his motorbike and know what is involved and how stressful it can be so know what I am up for.

So please for those that have read the other thread and thought not much of it dig in and give us a hand.....

You can Paypal me at jpgpz at bigpond.com or send to ....

$900 for the clutch is that right? Must be a lot more expensive on the 3L or does that include labour?

If you're happy and you know it tap a post!

Email just sent through to confirm.......

G’day Jonathan. Please find my contact details below. As this has really hit home for me I’d like to give you my mobile number as well as my office number so if you have any queries at all and I’m out I can help you as best I can (*********). It truly makes me so happy to hear of honest blokes like you who want nothing more than to help a bloke who needs it. You’re an absolute legend and I respect and admire your efforts for this bloke. I’ll get the ball rolling this afternoon and personally have a meeting with Brenno the editor to work out what we can do and how we go about it. As I said I unfortunately can’t promise anything but we in some way will help your mate out.

Cheers,

Josh Leonard.

Editorial Assistant.

chest pain can be a lot of things and thankfully not always the heart - I see it everyday and work and my brother is a cardiologist but i'm glad you did not ignore it and went hospital.. just follow up with what ever advice they give you! Hope you feel better soon and it was not heart related..

I would not know what heart burn or indigestion feels like.

I feel fine but must wait for 2 lots of blood tests.

I just want those donations to come in and 4wd action to call.

My phone is almost flat???

21st March 2013, 05:41 PM

Hey BA - how's the tally going? Remember everyone you have until 5pm my time tomorrow and I will match the donations dollar for dollar up to $2k. If you haven't dipped in yet - get to it! And mate - take it easy hey mate. There are a heap of people willing to help out as well!

Jas

billy bleed

21st March 2013, 05:45 PM

again it could be many things but best wait and have your Troponin test as this will let you know all is good.. sit back, relax, watch the donations come in, and don't forget to tie your gown up when you go toilet.. and if they say they want a second opinion when giving you a PR just decline with a smile!
