RIP Chris
Take the time to stop, look around and realize how precious your time here is.
Tell the ones close to you how much you love and appreciate them and live for the day. Life is way to short. I'm still floored by the passing of Chris Beierling. I truly enjoyed watching the evaluation of his amazing '31 project and was looking forward to his wagon build. He was a talented person who I wish I could have met. RIP my Fellow Cammer!

Didn't know him well but met him at the last couple Hatfield/Pypes shows in Pa, just saw him last summer. He wasn't old, what happened? Poncho Perfection had his pic in the Feb issue racing at Norwalk, was wondering how that car did. RIP

His coupe showed us what a Cammer can be.
Well played Chris.

You got me excited---then I clicked on the ad and realized I would have to sell both kidneys plus a few other body parts.

Hammer price;
Reserve was lifted around 30K. Then they will add 10% onto the buyer, unless some other arrangement was agreed to.

What a cool setup!
Jeff, I agree 100% that life is shorter than most of us think when we're younger. Dont keep putting off seeing friends that you tell "Lets get together sometime". (Usually during the holidays) Then, before you know it, another year has passed by. Thanks Jeff. Lets get together sometime. |
