RE: IML: Collectible Automobile Magazine

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

Hello again Jamie,

Thank you for forwarding this email!
So you live in Mexico at the moment, now I understand why your car is
sitting. I hope you can bring it back to its former glory!

Any news from your brother yet about the current state of your car, and
any new pics yet?

Best wishes,

Robert
