Time To Pass The Hat

[SHOWHAT9]

Well, folks, it's been two years since I last had to come begging for funds to keep up the site. The 2003 campaign demonstrated the massive generosity of all of our members.

I have just sent off the payment for our hosting service for the invoice due October 31, 2005, which will cover us through October 06 as well as some other site related expenses that occurred over the last two years.

I have stated before and I will state again, if you can't make a donation don't worry about it. Many people have donated many things over the years other than money. Just look at the resource that has been built over the many years we have been around.

People have contributed money, busted knuckles, time and effort. Each one has been a stepping stone that has brought us to where we are now.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Make sure you include your name. We want to acknowledge all who have helped. The amount is guided by your conscience.

If you prefer to use a check, please make it payable to V8SHO.COM and mail it to the following address:

V8SHO.COM
C/O
902 S. Main Street
Washington, IL 61571

We will be only posting the names of those who have contributed. We will not post the amounts. Again, this is totally voluntary. Please, if you have sent a payment, follow the link located on the site at: www.v8sho.com/SHO/Friends.html If after a reasonable period of time you don't see your name posted, usually about a week, please contact me directly off list.

My Thanks to everyone who has supported me during my tenure. It means a lot to me personally.

From this point forward in time, If you are so inclined please just forward your check to Don. We have shut down the PayPal. Paul has a life to, believe it or not. We have been successful enough to keep the site alive for at least the next two years.
V8sho.com is devoted solely to the GIII and there is @ 9 years woth of information on it. This is in no small measure to the the forefathers of the site I have inherited. I will keep it going with all of the kinckle busting, first hand information that comes our way.
This is also a valuable resurce for GIII info. Make sure you throw a few nickels in the bucket to keep this list alive.
[email protected] is dedicated only to the GIII and over the years there have been many find folk who have donanted thire time and expertise to help keep theyse guys running.
Not a ptich - just a statemnt of fact.
You will note that more often than not, the older members of this list refer back to links on the V8SHO site. They just didnt' get there because master Yoda said so.
We will never accept a dime from any "sponsor" that is selling their product. It is a totaly self supporting site. As such we are proud that our members have learned more than the engineers have already forgotten about our cars.
Again Not a pitch for dough, we are good for another two years, however there will come a time where I will draw the line in the sand and say no more out of my pocket.
Think about it.
