Re: IML: Negativity on the IML needs to go

["Rob van der Es" <r.vdes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the lesson Kenyon!

With shame I must admit that I have posted some negative comment about the
custom car on Ebay.
Its just because these cars are getting so seldom these days that I wrote
with emotion instead of common sense, but I assure you that I would think
twice with regard to my future posts.

Ofcourse we (still..) live in a free world and everyone must be able to
make his own choices when it comes to how to restore a classic car.

Sorry once again if I hurt anybodys feelings, like Kenyon said it was an
emotion driven reply only based on a personal opinion.
And hey, after all it is still a real 1960 Imperial that is on sale now on
Ebay. A car that we as IML members have to love because it was designed by
a genius, namely mr. Virgil Exner !
I hope the car will go to someone that take good care of it and put a lot
of TLC in it!
