I remember reading Jim's 560SEC/W126 buyers guide shortly after getting my first car nearly 14 years ago and being really inspired by it. He is one of the best members this community has ever had.

Please pass my best wishes on to him. And DON'T GIVE UP KEEP SWINGING. We have had our problems in the past but he still reached out to wish the best for me when I was having health issues.

That's class.

Sorry to hear. I met Jim (along with my wife) last year when he was visiting SoCal - he seemed like a really nice guy. Hope the best for him.

Hey Jim,

I've met you at probably three to four different GTG's, and have always enjoyed your company. We even met for coffee for a brief conversation at the Mathis Brothers furniture store in Ontario, CA when you were rolling through town one day.

I'm sorry you are going through this right now. It must be very scary. But I just want you to know that you have a lot of friends here on this forum (and others) that care about you and will be there for you.

You are not alone.

If you need anything, please feel free to contact me via a PM on the forum.

Take care buddy.

Hey ladies and gents - wanted to give an update... Since Nik, Derek, and I went up to see him about a month ago, his health has started to decline. He's started to slow down, and is more "in and out" of it.

I'm going up there this weekend to say hello, and to hopefully reunite him with his W126 coupe.

You've got one of Jim's cars on loan?? The SEC AMG?

The car looks sad without its owner.
