I'm sorry to see you go, Jim. You are an integral part in making this a great forum.

Stay in touch and look me up if you venture into MA for work. I'd like to buy you a beer.

As long as I have been a member, Jim, you have been here. To me you represented the very soul of BC. As with all things in life, the only constant is change and sometimes you must do what you must do.

I appreciate everything you've done for me, the members and the board itself. Thanks for the great times in the GTA and hopefully we can hook up again in the near future. Take care of the girl and good luck in the future.

Keep the rubber side down, bud.

Whoah!!! You can't leave!!! Sorry to see you cleaned the **** from your stars.
So if I read correctly you drift in and out of BC every so often, but mainly you are just giving up the responsibilities?
I have met Jim in person and can say he is an A-OK, A+, #1 grade, awesome person.
He always is in a jolly mood, and really maintains his composure in the most pressing situations.

Farewell Jim, and always know that you have many, many, many friends here on BC, and if you are ever out for a long drive in that Aurora (or any other car may drive in the future) be sure to stop by and visit the many Minnesotans who you have become such great friends with.
:(

Damn...
Well, like MOS said, even though I've never met you in person, I've gotten used to having you around. I'tll be a little weird not having you around to corral these lunatics.
Over the last year you have several times given me very good advice, cracked me up, and even un-knowingly cheered me up after a bad day(the by-play between you, Will, and MOS is something to behold!).
It'* safe to say that I will miss you around here.
Best of luck in all that you do, and you better visit, or I'm coming over to the Oldies' site and kickin' their butts for not letting you come out and play!

I remember back when you joined, about 6-7 months and 386 members after I did. I finally knew someone else from Ontario. But it was not until a couple years later when we finally had the meets in T.O. that I got to meet you. I was in the Malibu ( bonne was not on the road yet) and you still had RLD. That then grew into meeting up with you every so often on my monthly trips to T.O. for meetings.

At least we can still meet up when I come down for meeting, but I guess no more Arizona'* for us, well not for you, LOL. But I have no problem having dinner with you and your other half, she is probably better company and IS better looking than them ( Arizona'* ) anyhow, LOL.

One good thing is you can come over to OBC ( club for female bonnevilles, LOL) and actually post for a change.


That video you posted looks pretty damn familiar, like the parking lot of the last meet we had.

I look forward to meeting up with you so I can go Rora bashing again and show you what that car is capable of. For those who don't know he drives worse than a grandma, you should see him trying to pull into a parking lot. I had to help clean all the carbon out of it, yeah that'* it cleaning it out, lmfao.

Man, I remember way back when we were just two members with Garnet Red / Silver Metallic Bonnevilles... It'll take me a while to get used to the idea..
