OMG...after couple of minutes i`m still speechless......Rose,guys,sorry for finding out so late.I consider myself one of the first posters on this forum when Mac made the transition from Mirafiori back then.I even remember him asking permission to the mirafiori guys so he can start an X19 only forum worried that it may cause some "damage" to the other forum by taking some of us from mirafiori.So i`m gonna say i knew him,not the way i would have liked to,but i think i did even thou i`m for far away Puerto Rico like some other forum members that i carried over here.Even on early novemember i was at BFI and spended some time explaining another fellow forum member who Ian Macintosh is/was.He didn`t knew and i fell in the oblogation of telling him about our founder and great friend Mac.
I still treasure and still keep Macs Fiat pin collection that he very kindly found for some of us while in UK and that he personally made sure i did get it,never pretending for me to pay him.Thats the way im going to always remember him,the big skinny guy with a big heart.
Im sure we are gonna keep this place running,as a tribute to him and all the new friends we have made here during the yrs.Thanks to this forum i have made new friends and meet personally many of you.
Rose my deepest thoughts are with you and Macs mother Leslie from the bottom of my heart.
Rest in peace Mac and may his legacy live forever between us,lets keep this brotherhood going for good...i know thats what he would have liked us to do.
