The Special Day Was Apr. 20 ... Let us All remember next Year :)
« on: April 20, 2016, 11:57:10 »
Hello Joe,

Thanks again for the great time we all had last September at PUB

as I am sure everyone had the years before. Today we all

like to wish you a wonderful day on this your day!

Happy Birthday Joe

PS. I wish I had the skill to change that Licence Plate to ja17 the back end shape sort of looks like your first 190SL Joe Alexander :)

EDIT: changed Subject Line above, since people continued to wish Joe HB that now has long passed ... Let's do it again next year ...

Hi Joe,

Happy Birthday from me as well!! Many thanks for the time you spent making the linkage adjustments on my 280SL at the PUB. While you were doing it I was trying to capture it in video with my iPhone. At some point I will see if I can put the clips together as a sequence that shows you making all the adjustments and explaining them as you made them. If they go together well it might be useful to show to the club if you are OK with it.

Right now I am out of the country, in France until June 3rd, but when I get back, I'll see if I can put together the sequence and let you take a look at it.

Again, Happy Birthday and many thanks,

Thanks Bob for doing this, you properly used a good photo editing program to do this like Photo Shop. I posted a copy on Joe's Facebook page for him to print out and add to one of his "Cool Walls of Memorabilia" in his garage.
 
Thanks,
