Just been chatting to a friend of mine who is making contact with an old friend from OZ next week who is desperate for a picture of our Viper to take back to give to a young lad in OZ.When i enquired a bit more it turns out that this young lads "Best Car in the World" is a Viper!But it also turns out that he has terminal cancer.He sadly knows that he will never live long enough to own one but would love anything,even if its just a photo of your car.So if you do have any old photo or something with a Viper logo i think it would give him a great surprise when his friend(my mates friend over hear from OZ) gets back.I think most of you know my address so if you can help i need photo,s etc by the end of this week,or call me.I hope to speak to Sir Steve .k. later in the week but if anyone is going to be chatting to him sooner than please feel free to let him know as a pic of his GT2 GTS/R would be great.I have great faith that our small but friendly group can help.(I hope to get more detals about the lad later in the week,as all i know is what i,ve told so far).

Many thanks Neil for the Viper bits,i have got until the end of the week before the lads friend flys back to OZ,so these still time to send me a spare pic of your car,Many Thanks to all those who have sent stuff.I have a little more info about the lad,he is 21 and lives in Western OZ,in a wild part of the county,aparently there are on Vipers in that part of the world and the odd pic in a mag is as good as it gets out there.He was told he had 6 months to live almost a year ago but is still fighting it.Im sure the thoughts of the Viper community our with him.Thanks again.TOM

Received word today from Martin,s family.Martin was really thrilled with the Viper photos and other Viper related items that you kindly sent,the Viper was a car he dreamed of and these items really cheared him up when they arrived and lifted his spirit for a while.Sadly he lost his fight against cancer at just 21 years of age a few weeks ago.So it is with sadness that i leave this post.....I,m not to sure what else to say.....just gutted to hear this news,thanks again to all of you who took the time and effort to send something.
