Re: [VintageLambo] Snail Mail, Manuals, Jim K

Hi Steve, Those are all good ideas. In the 400 GT rebuild manual I wrote, the front cover has a note to the effect: "Reprints of the Workshop Manual for the Espada 400GT are available from Jim Kaminski of the Lamborghini Owner’s Club. That manual contains priceless information on the V12 engine – the same engine is used in the 400 GT. Also, order the Illustrated Parts Manual from Jim while you are at it. It contains some outstanding line drawings of mechanical parts that perfectly complement the Workshop Manual." The other idea about promoting the rest of his line is also a good one. Thanks for the inputs. Jack Steven Rood wrote: Jack, i do believe there is a way to have him involved, even if he isn"t interested in getting online at any level. Maybe we can give himfree advertising for his clothing line, books, etc. Maybe we can print out hard copies of the information we learn and gather here and give it to him for his hard copy newsletter that he sends to his immence list. That way he can sift through and incorporate this wealth of information here and get it to those who aren"t online or part of this news group.

Like Steve Rood said, he just prefers the "cut and paste" method of creating a newsletter and gives no particular reason for avoiding the web. I think he just has an aversion to computers like a lot of us did back when we started using them.I still nag him every year when he comes to San Diego in Octoberbut so far, to no avail. I have been thinking about the points made with regard to the manuals and posting them. I know Jim gets some income from the manuals he sells and I am reluctant to be the one who pulls that rug out, considering our long friendship and his very large contribution to Lamborghini owners over the years. So Fred and I are trying to come up with a way to help our VLG list members without depriving Jim of a source of income. There has to be a diplomatic solution and I am sure we have the talent on this list to find it. Meantime, we will continue to add to the database in other areas. Thanks, Jack
