I remember you! You called me at Burlingame Motors to get a set of motor mounts! Where did you finally get them?

Sad News

OP Miguel, known on this forum as Delibes, was in an accident while continuing his journey. The good news is that he is ok. The wagon is a total loss, however.

On the serious side, lets set up a website to collect for him....then he can tell us exactly what he needs to continue his journey. There are so many of us here that if we each contribute a small amount he should be able to do whatever he needs to continue.

I have no clue how to do this but would be happy to help in any way I can.

I have no idea how to do this, but I'm happy to contribute if someone sets something up.
