I'll address this to the list for people like Jim & Susan...
For the most part, people have been very supportive of my decision to sell
my car, a few have not. For some reason, the few who did not seem to want to
publicly humiliate me because I discussed how much the car cost me in terms
of work and money. I never quite understood that, but it seemed to be
important to them. So I will address this one time publicly and be done done
with it.
For the most part, roadster peplpe are like Jim & Susan. Nice people who
truly enjoy the cars. There are others I have met- Fergus O'Farrell is
perhaps the nicest person I have met, along with his wife and future super
model beautiful girls. The baumans, Vic Laury, Howard Rosenfeld- good and
fun people.
Then there are the people who seem to think my life revolves around bragging
about how much money I spent on my car. For the record: Yes, I spent a lot
of money on the car and also I worked very hard for it. Both of the people
that have responded in this manner have never met me and are making their
judgements of me based on their own perceptions. That is their choice.
I love my roadster. I do not want to sell but must. Most of you realize that
whatever the reason for selling the car is my business and no one else;s. I
am not trying to manipulate anyone and just want a fair price for the
vehicle. I will leave it off ebay for two weeks and then will try that
avenue.
No matter what you may think of me personally, you know that the car is a
beautiful car and would be a wonderful car for anyone.
Good bye and good luck,
Anderw Murphy
