im in and ill send an email out to all our members about it, i'm sure some will show up and go.

 

Thanks Jason..

I am looking forward to meet some of the EVO guys as well.

 

Sounds like a great reason to drive... I will try and make it

 

My heart goes out to you for this cause. I encourage all our NTEC members to participate if possible. I will not be in town that weekend, but I will make sure Jason drives twice as fast for me.

 

I appreciate it
Please try to come along for the donation twisties drive..

 

If I get the 240sx before then, I would be very interested.

 

Salaki,

My heart goes out to you and I hope that any relatives back in Indonesia are safe. I cannot be at the meet due to being in Houston and having too much on my plate. If you provide your paypal address I will send a donation in name of the EvoM community and I hope that others do the same.

I spent a considerable amount of time in the asian island nations, Phillipenes (still cant spell it) and Bali, and I have an idea of what they are going through and it is heartbreaking. Such simple lifes destroyed. Let me know and Ill get some cash off to you.

Mike

 

Mike,

Thank You so much for your reply.

My family / relatives are fine in Jakarta.

Thank God that the epicenter did not originate in the east side of Sumatra . Otherwise Kuala Lumpur, Singapore & Jakarta would be under water and that would be a much much much worse disaster.

You've been to Bali?
Been there 6 times all my life and I miss it very very much.

It's been few years I have not gone home.
Probably sometime next summer if work allows

My paypal e-mail address is david_salaki@hotmail.com

 

Damn and I leave the 14th.

I would love to do that drive. Can someone e-mail the map of where ya'll are going so I can drive it sometime by myself? Thanks.

 

I'm in! That's sad man........

 

word up ill try and make it

 

Glad to hear that your family is all ok. Bali was a vacation destination. Learned to dive there and fell in love with the laid back, day to day, traditional lifestyle. And everyone is so happy just to be alive. Good luck on the drive and bump for a good cause. I hope that everyone on this board does something to help this tragic act of mother nature.

 

Bump..

Just updated the final meet place after the drive

 

Guys,

Thanks for all the participation.

For those who haven't received the map, please e-mail me:
david_salaki@hotmail.com


I do accept goods donation.
Most likely I will have these shipped via Hyundai Cargo as they are accepting free shipment of donation to any port in suffering countries.

For those who work @ companies who will match donation, I highly encourage you to do so cause the donation will be doubled.

Looking forward to meet you all next week.

Thanks again,
David
