[TR] [Fot] Michael D. Porter

[David P]

Gents,

  This is sad news indeed. I don't want to sound or be insensitive at 
this early date. It seems that Michael recently posted about the doors 
on his GT6 if I recall.. I sent him a message then that should he have 
interest in the future of selling the GT that (being relatively close) I 
was interested. Point being, I still am. Do any of you closer to Michael 
have any idea of it's disposition? I've been on the hunt for a GT for 
some time now... Dave P Albuquerque NM
