    I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I know this is a very generous community.

    There is a young man who is losing his battle with MD and his mother is trying to fulfill a dying wish of his before he passes.

    He would really love to see and hear an exotic car. He wouldn't need a ride or to sit in the car, due to wheelchair mobility.

    The thing is, is that this would need to happen over the next 2 days. They have come down from Canada and are staying at a hotel in Burbank, CA.

    So let's try and make something happen for this young man, if you are in the Burbank area and can possibly spare a few minute tomorrow or Friday please contact Susie, her details are below.

    There are more details on this forum page.

    I'm up for this. I don't know if the ol' 308 is enough to give him what he's looking for. Anyone want to join me on this? Luckily I've got the time (unfortunately, it's because I'm not working).

    Thanks so much guys, this is what it's all about at the end of the day, wish I could have been in the area with my old 911 to join the harmony :)

    Let's hope a few more might be able to make it.

    Do let us know how it goes and if the family are ok with it, perhaps you could share a few photos.

    The power of the internet, though a friend of a friend and then from forum to forum and we have success, I'm sure Alexander will be thrilled:)

    We could meet in the parking lot at George Izay park - it's right near my house. Plenty of parking and it's only 1/4 mile from the hotel. (Google the park's name for directions.)

    Hi Kev,

    Sounds OK to me, but I'll be coming down from Ventura, so traffic might dictate my arrival time. I'll PM you with my cell.

    Cool, let's meet in the park around 5pm and wait for everyone to show up (traffic on the 5 is crap at that time).
