Lars gave me a very gracious personal response for which I thank him.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Lars for speedy recovery. He and others on this forum like him, have made it possible for many of us rookie rebuilders to get the job done!

I too had asked Lars for advice regarding a new Holley carburetor. He was forthwith his knowledge and in laymans terms. As I relate to Lars, I thought of the defination of 'sharing' and I define him as such.

Sharing: "The keeper of the knowledge who will unselfishly pass onto to someone to enjoy or benefit".

Knowledge is power, to keep secrets away from others is control. Lars did nothing of that and only provided solutions to make this forum better.

Speedy recovery Lars.

Dano,

A couple of us Aussies had the pleasure of meeting and staying with Lars and his family at the end of the 50th anniversary celebrations. A gentleman, kind soul, and wicked drinker.
Our thoughts are with him for a fast recovery.

Speedy recovery Lars, and many thanks for your papers and e-mails.
Truly an unselfish man, I miss his being on the forums, as I always read his posts, and learned something.

We should have a Lar's Fest when he's up to it, I'd be happy to host it this summer.

Give me your thoughts on this everyone!

Lars,

I am so sorry to hear of your temporary disablement and wish you all the best for a speedy recovery. I was in the States TWICE last year and did not ring you, sorry about that. My thoughts are with you and the girls.

Get well mate, and I hope to have a margarita with you later this year.

Best Wishes from Down Under.

It should go without saying that he be advised to read all of the positive wishes being posted here (as I believe he doesn't visit this forum any more).

A truely GREAT man!

Lars with his portable dyno, exhaust pipes pointing out of the Viking Bar, sending exhaust rumbles for all the neighbors on the court to hear.

To show his dedication to detail, I just ask him to come over and help me change my oil, and this is where we ended up.
Ralph.
