Schon irgend etwas unternommen wegen der Seite von Max?

Habe heute folgende email bekommen von ihm, die er an Gale und mich geschickt hat:

Hi guys...

Just though I'd pass on the news that the E32 has departed the garage
here, gone to a good (hopefully) home along with lots of spares & the
obligatory Bentleys (the new owners' fathers comment was "wow, I've got
one of those for my Studebaker!!"). Basically, it was getting to be too
much of a drain on the family - just got refused town planning for a
replacement double garage, and also the gas prices here in NZ have gone
up almost 60% in the last year - not the best when it's just me doing a
solo suburban commute in the 735i.

A few parting comments of interest for you both:

- the banjo bolts never did go in, Don, but you'll be happy to know
they're going into a well-loved M5 E28 of a friend; show you the times,
he was **given** the car, just had to solder up the ECU.

- The clips for the accelerator cable are now obsoleted by the cable
having a fixed steel tube at both ends, directing the cable & retaining
it very positively. Had to get the cable replaced as mine was fraying
(just before I sold it, but WTH, it was a safety issue). Also, BMW NZ
could get the clip ex Germany, but the clips/cable recall was US-only.

OK, pass on all my best to the rest of the guys that knew me, if they're
really desperate they can always try to get hold of me, still got the
ETK, ETM & TIS here, but just no more car... I thought I'd pass this on
in private email, as most of the new Raodfly crowd don't know me anyway.
I have gotten another BMW though, a 96 K1100RS two-wheeler, so there is
still one in the family (back where I started before the 735!)

Good luck with all the vehicles, it's been a pleasure being involved
with the E32 crowd & yourselves in particular; Erich - take care with
all those highlines, maybe you can make a scaled-up version as a
campervan someday; Don - good luck with the Alfa, get your son in on the
ground floor & he'll enjoy the wrenching for life. Take care, if you're
ever heading down NZ way, drop me a line.

Habe ihn aber noch einmal angeschrieben, ob datt so o.k ist der Ordnung halber. Aber kannst ruhig schon mal aendern.

Und noch eins aaendern, Knuffel: Unter Teile/parts der Link zu Hendrik geht nicht mehr, nimm den hier
 http://www.gebrauchtee32teile.de/

Johan: bleibt das Fenster immer auf jetzt bei Dir auf dem Server mit dem Link?

[Johan735]

Erich, I haven't asked Max his permission but if he is OK with it I can leave the site there aslong as Sean & my website remains on this server.

I just have received following email from Max:

Erich:

Still got the site & all the rest (~400Mb) archived here to CD... I'll
go through it & check what state the stuff is in - should be OK to use
straight from file, but I do want to check it over for specific vehicle
identifications etc since i don't own that car any longer (use of images
should be OK, just don't want to imply any further connection!).

I'm probably OK with the hosting, as long as I can

(1) have absolute right of removal (not that likely, but it could always
be for reasons outside of my control)
(2) get in to finish off some areas -eg points I've got pics for, but
never bothered writing up pages for

Being honest, in the end it got to be a little bit love-hate with the
amount of maintenance - guilt from (a) was it really necessary stuff or
just me being a perfectionist or (b) even if necessary, was i
shortchanging my family time on a still-aging, money-pit (being
realistic) car? Definitely a bit of burn-out, sadly. Anyway, if I give
you the site, you can put it up as-is immediately, and I can
update/change as I want to & time allows - that way, even if I never
get around to it, the existing info isn't lost (and Johan can't review
the site & groan/moan about the pop-ups like he did the freeyellow site!)

So... how big an email attachment can I send you? Site itself is about
4Mb zipped....
