61farnham Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Sorry to hear your news Don, I've enjoyed reading your input on the forum, keep it coming. Best wishes from across the Pond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattimuss Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I too would like to add my wishes for a solid recovery. I agree with 'suntennis', the number of replies indicates just how well you are appreciated here. I remember that you were one of the first to welcome me to this forum and the P.O.C. forum. You took the time to patiently answer my novice [sometimes dumb] questions. I appreciate all the help you have given me with my Gramp's ol' '41. I know it is running due to your assistance. I hope that you will remain an active member/participant on this forum whether you own an old Plymouth or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldSmith Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Don, keep your sense of humor. No, don't keep it to yourself, keep sharing it with us. And you can always tune in to this site for the ridiculous and the sublime, offered in no particular order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 I have no plans to disappear. As long as I have at least one finger in my control I will continue to use it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Hiebert Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Don - I add my best wishes for you to recover as much as you can, and take care of what you can. I remember well the running battle in preparation for the big race "a few" years ago between you and Blueskies. It's one of the main things that drew me into this Forum, and ever since I have benefited from your knowledge and willingness to share it. Which makes me glad that you'll still be active with this Forum, too many have left it simply because they don't have their Plymouths or Dodges any more. Best of luck finding a suitable replacement for the "full race" Plymouth, so you can stay in the hobby! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janan5243 Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 Very sorry to hear that you have health problems. You will be in mine & my wife's prayers . Being a little long in the tooth (72) myself, I've had problems with pain in my legs since a quadruple bypass in 2013. with no relief despite many visits to many different types of Drs. Here's hoping for a happy & healthy solution. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Martin Posted May 9, 2016 Report Share Posted May 9, 2016 $5000 is an unbelieveable price with all that has been done to it. Somebody should jump on that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Luke Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) G'Day Don Mate, sorry to hear you're a bit crook. Getting old is a bugger. My dad's (82) done the same thing for similar reasons. He's retired the 29 Plymouth and got a 59 Triumph Herald convertible. Loads of fun but everything is small enough to handle by himself with his issues. Take care of yourself.

40plyrod Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Sorry to hear Don. Seems this sort of thing is starting to happen with more frequency to the oldtimers and I HATE hearing it. Take care of yourself and glad to hear you're going to stick around the forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlemo Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Don; Seems like many of us are in this "Getting Old Thingy" together; take care of yourselve, I've really enjoyed our "bantering" back and forth over the years.

LAKOTA169 Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Hey, Don. Sorry to hear your having health issues. I would have replied sooner, but I just got out of the hospital yesterday afternoon after a 13 day stay (73 days since last July). I know it's hard to give up something you love to do. Even if your not going to be working on your car, it's good to hear your still going to be around to help mentor the members here. We can always use a good "Mentor" around here (that's "OR" not "AL" after the Ment...) Just remember to take care of yourself and follow doctor's (and wife's) orders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybose Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Don, sorry to hear about your issues. I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to meet you in person when you were working in San Francisco. I too am starting to feel my age, although without the complications that you've experienced. Look forward to hearing from you occasionally. Marty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLK Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I have no plans to disappear. As long as I have at least one finger in my control I will continue to use it.That is great news. Hope you find another car you can love as much as you have that Plymouth over the years. Your advise has been invaluable to so many of us here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48Dodger Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I have met you......but have yet to race you. Maybe its time to find Fort Wayne and settle this matter on a uneven road by flattening it with unbridled horses. Or pancakes is good. 48D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a terrible accident yesterday....but I am doing better now.....Yesterday, I decided to go horseback riding which I've not done for a long time and never done well! I got on the horse and started out slow and then we went a little faster and then we were going just about as fast as the horse would go (and let me tell you, I was so proud of myself)! All of a sudden I fell off and caught my foot in the stirrup and the horse was dragging me around in a circle....It wouldn't stop....just going around and around in a circle.... if it weren't for a quick thinking man (Whom I owe my life), I would probably not have made it......thank goodness the store manager at Wal mart came out and unplugged the machine. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pflaming Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 You made the correct action by getting off that horse, there is an old cowboy adage which goes ". . . when the horse is dead, get off!" PS next time wear cowboy boots, they slip off the foot if your foot gets caught, shoes do NOT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldodge41 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Sorry to read of your issues Don. That Plymouth is going to make someone very happy. I hope you can find some joy too. Oh, and I keep imagining which finger will be the last usable one. Good for typing, and saying it all without saying a word! Seriously, I wish you all the best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonaldSmith Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Speaking of horses, my father told me about the man whose name was Bill Manerr. It sounded too much like Bull Manure, so he went to court to change his name - to Horace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
