Hello fellow listers,
I'm new at being the spokesperson but Barrie is a good friend and has
helped me a lot during the restoration of my car so bare with me. ;)
As you know one of our own lost EVERYTHING, including his roadster in
the San Diego firestorm. In fact, both he and his wife diane were only
able to escape with a flashlight and cell phone. Thank god they were
not hurt!
Many of you had the opportunity of not only meeting Barrie but seeing
and even judging his beautiful red 66 2000 custom at the misc, car
shows here in So Cal. For those that had not, you will just have to
believe it from us, his car was cooooool!
I spoke with him today and was amazed by how well he handling this
whole thing. I also mentioned that Les from Classic Datsun
Motorsports is having a gathering of sorts on Nov 8th and he said he
would be delighted to go, so, he will be my co-pilot up there on that
Sat.
I thought it would be great if he got there and had a flood of support
from our community. So... For those of you that would like to send
your condolences PLEASE SEND THEM TO:
Barrie & Diane Strachan
In care of :
Les Cannaday
Classic Datsun Motorsports
345 Olive Ave
Vista, CA 92083
For those of you that can make it, DO SO!
As for getting another car, he is still unsure, especially since he has
no garage tools. I would like to see that change and I hope by the
flood of support from all of us he will be again ready to "enjoy the
ride!"
Both he & I look forward to seeing you there!
Paul (heyace) Gabriel
