Remembrance

[HB Chris]

Hard to believe it has already been one year this Sunday that Murray left us. Beatrice recently gave me a few of his keepsakes including the VIN plate from Blumax and I thought it only appropriate to display them with a photo of Murray in one of his jaunty driving poses. He inspired so many of us here on this forum and his spirit lives on every time we fire up a coupe. So, if you can, take a drive or even start your motor and give it a rev or two this weekend in Murray's honor, I'm sure he's listening and would have a comment or two to share.

And don't forget to give those you love a hug and a kiss, life is too short. And as Shanon likes to remind us, "Keep on Coupin'!"

the blue cloth that Murray sent me is a permanent fixture folded under my e-brake handle, used to tidy up the glass or whatever. can't believe it's been a year.

Here's a photo of Murray at the 2012 Desert Classic Concours, just about two years ago. His health was failing then, but I couldn't have imagined that he only had a year left. Yea, life is fleeting.

We haven't forgotten you Murray

Nice ones.

Not sure if this is the best weekend for taking the coupers out, he might not approve. ;-)
Yes, its finally raining in Northern CA.

RIP

Thank you Chris- I hadn't realized that the time had passed so quickly.

Keep taking the blue roads my friends.

He was a great guy and Coupester. How is Blue Max running without it's VIN?....

 

[HB Chris]

Blumax has one as well.

So Cool

Dear Chris,

This is so nice of you to remember a friend of so many. Im coming into this group a little late to most of you but when I was looking for information about a coupe I saw many "Blue Roads" video's.
