Mt. Everest: RMI Expedition Ends
Posted by: Dave Hahn, JJ Justman, Billy Nugent, Mark Tucker | April 23, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Everest
Elevation: 17,575'
We began the day with hope that we might be getting closer to resuming climbing. Billy and JJ took the climbers hiking while Mark Tucker and I met with a number of other climb leaders and Sherpa sirdars. Those meetings convinced us that the right course was to give up on Mount Everest for Spring 2014. In future dispatches, we'll try to quantify the reasons for such a decision. But for now, suffice to say that the risks outweigh the possibility of success.
This week has been a roller coaster of emotion for many of us, from the horror that came with the avalanche of April 18, to the confusion that followed it regarding the right course to take for balancing respect for the dead, concern for team safety and summit ambitions. Following the accident, our list of serious obstacles to an Everest summit was always significant, but we believed it worthwhile to continue looking for some way forward. Our climbers, Sherpas, guides, and outfitters had put too much into the planning and execution of this trip to let go of the goal with less than our best effort. We've given that now.
We'll start heading for home soon.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn

RMI guides make great decisions. Dave, Billy, JJ. This is why I've climbed a number of summits with RMI—you literally are trusting them with your life to make good decisions.
While I'm sure this was an extremely difficult decision, I believe it was the right one. Sometimes you have to listen to what the mountain (and circumstances) are telling you.
Safe travels home.
Posted by: Dan on 4/25/2014 at 6:38 am
So sorry for the loss and for the tough situation it put you all. I'm glad you are safe and coming home. JJ—you'll have many, many more climbs….
Posted by: Randy Christofferson on 4/25/2014 at 4:23 am
A very tough decision to make I am sure - but the best one in light of the previous days events.
Safe travels to all….
Posted by: Jeff Hall on 4/24/2014 at 4:59 pm
Nicole and team, I am so sorry. This is history in the making and you were there to bear witness to this tragedy. Pray for the lives lost. Come home safely. Sandy
Posted by: Sandy Murray on 4/24/2014 at 4:35 pm
Dr. Choo
We just wanted to say we are sorry the trip has to come to an end but know it is the best decision for everyone. Our hearts go out to everyone lost and their families. Have safe trip home. Also Chuck says hi.
Posted by: Jessica & Brenda on 4/24/2014 at 2:34 pm
Mostly glad you are safe. Wish you were able to attempt a summit, but this was not the year. Things are going well at the office. My son Michael is planning a trip to Everest basee camp in May. Is this wise?
Posted by: Joe Browder on 4/24/2014 at 1:28 pm
I just returned from New Zealand where I visited my son, and am now hearing about the awful event and situation. So so sad.
Now I want to wish you and the others with you a safe trip back to your homes and loved ones.
No question about it ... what has occurred is absolutely terrible. As time provides distance, I hope all who are qualified objectively analyze and consider what has happened, what factors may have contributed, and what may be appropriately done in the future to successfully influence any of the controllable factors. I am confident, because of RMI's experience, sensitivity and caring, it will provide helpful and nurturing suggestions and leadership.
I want to personally thank Dave and his leadership team for helping you and the others right now. Their assessment of the situation and sound decisions is very much appreciated.
I want to encourage all of you now to take care and support each other. And please, consider seeking additional emotional help as needed upon your returns.
My warm regards,
Fred K

As always Dave Hahn makes the right decisions at the right time. It is an understatement to say you can trust your life with Dave because he has proven to be the man you want and need if you have a problem on Mt. Everest.
Posted by: Chris Reither on 4/24/2014 at 8:43 am
'Luke' needs to give his head a shake. His statements are exactly what is wrong with a said percentage of the climbing culture today. 'Honoring the dead' as he describes amounts to an excuse to act selfishly in resuming one's personal pursuit. The Sherpa people are the workhorses of any commercial expedition and its arguably our desire to climb that creates their required employ. We essentially provide the reason for them to even tempt fate year in year out - because its a lucrative offering that sustains their livelihood. This incident was historically the worst ever by numbers and witnessed by many. Unless any of us were there, one cannot even fathom the effects of such a loss. It was tragic at all levels, an objective danger materialized and many a life was lost. If you know anything about the Sherpa, respect and loyalty then you know the mountain has spoken…and equally you know it will always be there. A very difficult but respectful and classy decision by RMI and all those who follow suit. A respect for humanity trumps everything, and sadly its something current society is losing sight of. RMI has shown great courage and respect in this decision and I wish you safe travels home.

Kara and team
Be proud of what you have accomplished
Safe travels home and prayers to those whose lives were lost.
Posted by: Tonya on 4/24/2014 at 6:42 am
People die on Everest Every year, yet climbing continues. In 1996, Ed Viesturs put it best when he said the best way to honor the dead is to climb the mountain. I think it's stupid to quit the trip. I'll be anxious to read the dispatches in the coming days to hear "why" this trip was cancelled.
Posted by: Luke on 4/24/2014 at 6:11 am
James, JJ and Kara and team: So sorry for the sherpa losses and my prayers for the families continue…Sorry too for your disappointment…Your respectful and courageous decision will be rewarded… Godspeed on your return…Thank you for demonstrating the best of the brotherhood / sisterhood of the rope…Walter
Posted by: walter glover on 4/24/2014 at 4:40 am
Very wise decision. Safe travels to you all on your journey down and home.
Posted by: Patti Tebo on 4/24/2014 at 3:31 am
Dear Dave and team,
My heart dropped when I heard about the avalanche and loss of so many lives last week. Thank you for the updates each day, and the thoughtfulness of your words and actions. Thank you for your bravery, compassion, and wisdom navigating this deeply sad and challenging time on the Mountain. Safe travels. ~Andrea
Posted by: Andrea Sparks on 4/24/2014 at 2:40 am
Although very sad to hear the news of your decision not to continue, it is also reassuring to know that you continue to embrace with respect the relationship you have with your Sherpa climbing family. Sometimes where there is great loss, there ae also great lessons to be learned. I have no doubt you have done the right thing. Safe travels, everyone.
Posted by: Josephine on 4/24/2014 at 2:17 am
Kara and Team,
I agree with what everyone has said. You are part of history, and I can tell my son that his Aunt Kara was there to witness this tragedy. I have no doubt that you will be there again next year to finish what you started. Thanks for the great communication, RMI. We all appreciate it more than you realize! See you soon! Love, Dixie
Posted by: Dixie Trunko on 4/24/2014 at 2:09 am
Thanks for calling this evening James. Hardly imagine what you and team have experienced on Mt. Everest. Please focus on returning home safely in good health. SC
Posted by: Soonja Choo on 4/23/2014 at 8:45 pm
Where does one even begin to express their deep sorrow for all everyone has endured at Everest during this climbing season. My prayers go out to everyone touched by this incident. I have so much respect for your team and I know the Sherpas and their families will respect your decision for years to come. Your decision to cancel your expedition is trully honorable and says a lot about your integrity as a team and company!! I wish for you all a safe return home to your loved ones!
Posted by: Tammy Doppenberg on 4/23/2014 at 8:39 pm
Tough decision but clearly the right and honorable one. Billy, I can't imagine what you and everyone are feeling right now. Please know that you and everyone have 100% of our support. Safe travels home kiddo and see you soon. Love from this cuz and all the rest…
Posted by: Margaret Wenzel on 4/23/2014 at 8:02 pm
A tough decision like this is what has made RMI, Dave and Mark successful and the only outfit I climb with. God speed and prayers for the families of those lost.
Posted by: Jeff Olson on 4/23/2014 at 8:00 pm
Close call for you on the day before. Great call for you to make that thoughtful decision on behalf of your many
Nepalese friends. Congratulations!
Posted by: Chuck Roberts on 4/23/2014 at 7:51 pm
Tough call guys but the right one. RMI Rocks.
Safe travels back home Dave. Maybe see you up on Wheeler soon.
Posted by: Phillip on 4/23/2014 at 7:44 pm
Safe travels on your way down.
Posted by: Todd McPencow on 4/23/2014 at 7:36 pm
Hi Im just wondering for future reference if you give any refund ,partial or in full, or nothing at all ? Is there an option for an insurance to cover losses in this type of cacellations? Thanks
Posted by: adrian on 4/23/2014 at 7:30 pm
Dave and Mark, I'm sure it took tremendous courage to make this decision. What a terrible situation. You are doing the right thing, though, and lots of love and best wishes to all.
Posted by: Sandra Cook on 4/23/2014 at 7:28 pm
Thoughts and prayers to all on the mountain! Can't even begin to understand what everyone has been through. Safe travels home!
Posted by: Cindy Dell on 4/23/2014 at 6:52 pm
Greetings Team -
As much as I have tried to imagine what it has been like over there the last 5 days, I know that I'm not even close to feeling some of the emotions: anxiety, sadness, uncertainty, fear, loss. I wish I had been there to experience this unprecedented event with all of you. Saying farewell to the mountain now is the logical,wise, spiritual and reverent decision that must be made. The Sherpa people need to grieve as they wish. Have a safe journey home.
-Larry Seaton
Posted by: Larry Seaton on 4/23/2014 at 6:41 pm
Very tough decision. I am sure it was a hard call. Be safe coming home.
Posted by: Ryan Foss on 4/23/2014 at 6:14 pm
My heart goes out to those families who lost loved ones. The impact is impossible to comprehend. Those men were fathers, husbands, sons, brothers and the primary support for their families. The families will be suffering from the impact of this tragedy for a life time.
Showing your respect by retreating is good form. The loss of a climb and the loss of money is nothing compared to the loss those Sherpa families are experiencing.
I wish you all safe travels back home to your own loved ones.
Posted by: Mike Renz on 4/23/2014 at 5:49 pm
We are thinking of all of you and those who were lost. I am so proud of the RMI guides and Sherpas who helped in the rescue and recovery effort despite the risks. It must have been very hard for the past few days for everyone on the mountain and I am so sorry to hear the quest this year has come to an end as I know how much effort went into the preparation for this expedition. Let's remember those who were lost and be grateful for those who are still here. Send you love and support! Safe travels. - FX
Posted by: FX on 4/23/2014 at 5:35 pm
Will continue to pray for you all…for strength, wisdom and courage. Incredibly tough but wise decision. Safe travels home.
Posted by: Susan on 4/23/2014 at 4:53 pm
Honorable and thoughtful! As a client of yours, i thank you.
Posted by: David Smith on 4/23/2014 at 4:17 pm
Your RMI team once told me "The Mt. will always be there to climb another day" and I'm sure you're going to be there to. I'm honored to say I have climbed with your guides… Safe travels!
Posted by: Joseph Del Grosso on 4/23/2014 at 4:11 pm
I was totally knocked over with the decision. I thought things work out with time and mediation, but it didn't. I know the right decision was made with the issues you were facing and, as you can see, we all support this difficult decision y'all had to make following the tragic event on April 18. Safe travels.
Posted by: Mary C on 4/23/2014 at 4:06 pm
Highest regards to you and your team- a most honorable and thoughtful decision!! Thank you for being so caring and selfless! Strong human beings!!

Posted by: Jodi Justman on 4/23/2014 at 3:39 pm
Mountains are no respecter of persons. The lives tragically lost are a reminder to all of how great this mountain is - all the more to tread wisely and reverently. May all of you affected by the past week's event be comforted by friends and family.
Posted by: michelle on 4/23/2014 at 3:26 pm
This was the tough but right choice. It shows stregnth and respect for the living and the dead. Karma is a very real and important thing. The Sherpa will value your respect.
Posted by: Robin Miller on 4/23/2014 at 3:14 pm
It is very hard to go so far and not get a crack at the mountain but this decision is very admirable and respectful to those brave men who lost their lives. I hope the team has a safe trip home.

I bought this before my son was born so I was prepared. However, I ended up not using it until he was six months old. Sadly, it didn't work properly so can't use it.
Controls seem flaky.
Would not recommend. Disappointed I wasted all that money on a faulty item.

I had to buy two of these as we are expecting twins but I've seen Ewan at work at my nephew's house and they are amazing! So well worth the expense of two!

My 7 week old wouldn't settle when being put down after his feed. Purchased Ewan and have been using the 'womb/heartbeat' sound. He's much better and settles now (he's 10 weeks). The only thing I would change is for the sound to last a bit longer than 20 minutes before going off. Well worth the buy

Fast delivery. Ewan the sheep is helpful but not as useful as how others found it.

Great purchase, very effective at settling our baby to sleep in his Moses basket. Wouldn't be without Ewan now.

We love Ewan! He has a little Velcro tail so that he can be easily attached to cot/crib or Moses basket. He's easy to use, his chest glows red to remind baby of the womb and he plays a variety of white noise/heartbeat sounds by touching his feet. Plus he's doubles as a cuddly toy for a baby. Great product!

We bought this for our month old boy to help him self settle at night as he was getting used to sleeping on us and wasn't a fan of his Moses basket. It worked wonderfully, with all of the settings (harp, rain, hoover and womb) working in sending him off to sleep. The glow also helped me see his face in the dark which was nice when I just wanted to check on him but didn't want to turn all the lights on. It even helps me drift off to sleep, and think I might borrow it after he's done using it! Highly recommended, brilliant price.

Excellent product, sounds real.

Ewan has been a great friend to our now 12 week old daughter. We have had him from newborn and the white noise is very soothing and helps her get to and stay asleep. My only complaint is that two of the legs have stopped working! Thankfully not her favourites but disappointing all the same.

Bought this as a gift for a friend who's expecting. We had something similar when my daughter was a newborn and it really helped settle her to sleep. Incredibly valuable in the early weeks!

This is a great product, highly recommended! Service from Jojo was brilliant - arrived well packaged and very quickly.

Love Ewan the sheep - it is helping me and the new addition to our family sleep! Really relaxing, we love it.

Fantastic product - never fails to help get my son to sleep

Bought for friends baby. Seems good although I can't believe you have to buy the battery's seperately especially as this is not a cheap toy. Slightly disappointed with the delivery packaging as came in a bag so it got very squashed!

I purchased Ewan the Sheep as a gift for a friend, having already bought one for my baby son. I can honestly say it is in one of my top 10 items for a newborn. It's is soft and cute so looks like a cuddly toy at first glance but it is so much more. It has a soft glow which acts like a night light and has 4 white noise settings that replicate lullabies, heartbeats and the mother's womb. It genuinely supports baby to sleep and in the nights of colic and reflux was a God send!

Love this. Helps my son soothe himself to sleep at night and sleeps more soundly because of the womb or harp sounds.

Very poor quality - also made in China. Disappointed.

We bought Ewan the dream sheep as a new baby gift as we were bought one on the birth of our son. I was very sceptical at first, but it is fantastic. The noises are very soothing (to us as well as the baby) and we think it really did help our son to settle in the early days. He is one now and Ewan is still put on every night.

I bought this for my new grandchild who will not be born until July but my friend has twin grandchildren and she bought Ewan The Sheep and he has been an absolute godsend
on Tuesday, April 08, 2014
After having Ewan for two weeks our sons' sleep and self-soothing has improved greatly. He loves the harp music with heartbeat. It seems sleep has improved for us with big thanks to Ewan (we wished we'd known about him sooner!). A definite recommended gift for a newborn or baby with difficulties sleeping
on Saturday, March 22, 2014
Amazing! Love him!

Our absolute saviour! :)

I bought Ewan the Sheep as a present for a 4 month old baby boy. He absolutely loves it. Not only the sounds it makes seem southing to him, but he loves to cuddle it and looks for minutes in Ewan's bright eyes.
on Monday, December 02, 2013
Bought for my forthcoming birth of my first grandchild?Cute.
on Monday, October 28, 2013
This is a lovely gift item, the sounds do sound soothing. We had something similar with our first baby and it definitely helped him get himself back to sleep if he woke in the night, so hopefully this will do the same!
on Saturday, October 26, 2013
I bought this for my great nephew, he was six weeks old when we gave it to him. he is now twelve weeks old. It really does what it is meant to do, It sends him off to sleep as soon as it is next to him. He loves it, now he tries to cuddle it himself. My niece is very pleased with it too. I recommend Ewan and I will be buying another for any more babies I need to buy for.

Very pleased. One very satisfied and happy baby.

This is really a magic sheep. My mum purchased this for my daughter at 8 weeks old and it helps her go straight to sleep. It goes everywhere with us and I always have a supply of AAA batteries just in case! Now at 5 months she grabs the sheep and somehow sets the noises off herself! Best buy ever for a baby!!

We love Ewan! This is the best gadget we've bought for our son, and wish we had him in our lives sooner. Ewan soothes him to sleep for his afternoon naps and after his night feeds, we struggled to settle him before so he's really helped us all.
on Tuesday, September 10, 2013
This is the first thing I've bought for our new arrival because the Mumsnet reviews were amazing and Ewan looks like a cuddly and calming friend. Learning to get to sleep is a great skill (for all of us!) and I think Ewan will help.

My 10 week old loves this it really helps to settle her in her big cot, she looks at him especially likes his glow. There are 4 different tunes on his legs she likes the two white noise ones best. It is good that you can stop it when you want to otherwise it is on for 20 mins.
Mrs D
on Sunday, June 23, 2013
Ewan is one of the best things we bought our daughter, its soothing music or sounds calms her (and us!) and its lovely glowing belly is now something she reaches out to stroke. We have used this since the day she was born and it has become part of our bedtime routine. I love Ewan!

My grandson loves this item. He is only 2 weeks old and has used it from birth. His parents find that he settles really well using the womb and heartbeat sounds, and stirs when it turns off, so it must be comforting to him. Would recommend it!!

text: After four years of being rode hard and put away damp, this Mitsu's OEM suspension components were tuckered. Symptoms included an extreme case of body roll and a tendency to push headfirst through corners. The tapped-out Bilstein shocks, lamer than a Yanni concert, were incapable of lifting the inner wheel mid-turn—a characteristic Evos are notorious for. To find a solution, we called on Robi Spec Race Suspensions of Hesperia, California. Owner Robert Fuller is a wizard in the dark art of suspension tuning; he's prepped countless winning time-attack machines. With his work cut out for him, Robi took my Evo under the knife. The result? Maximum-adhesion cornering!

Proud mom sends wrong message
Last Sunday, we published our seasonal Playmakers sports photos by Chieftain photographer Bryan Kelsen, two pages of sensational photos showcasing high school athletes in the various spring sports.
The athletes selected are not always the best in their sports. Sometimes they are, but sometimes we select them because there's something else special about them. For example, the impact they have on their teammates and the community.
We publish these photos to showcase the talents of these young people, and also Kelsen's talent. We do it to support high school sports, because we believe high school sports (and other levels, too) are wonderful for youngsters.
Having been a competitive athlete my entire life — I'm on IR at the moment, though — I know how sports teaches the value of hard work and preparation, determination, teamwork and most importantly, sportsmanship.

Arraignment for the Fernandez family will be on Tuesday November 1, 2011 at 4 p.m. on 205 E 5th Ave., Amarillo.
Amy Fernandez is being charged for the purpose of evading the reporting requirements and the regulations issued thereunder, structured, attempt to structure, and attempted to assist in structuring currency transactions with one or more domestic financial institutions, by purchasing 39 cashiers checks with United States currency in amounts of $3000 or less. Jose Fernandez, Jr., Francisco Fernandez, Aaron Fernandez, and Thomas Joseph Salazar were charged with knowingly and intentionally possessing with the intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and/or five kilograms or more of cocaine in the Randall, Potter, and Hutchinson County areas. The five were taken into custody on October 27, 2011 and incarcerated in Randall County Jail.
Ok so one says she's guilty of covering up for dirty money, and the rest say they are not guilty of making dirty money.. hmmm?
Yes I do agree that it was about time that these individuals were removed from our streets. Just one question what took so long. I will tell you why because there are some citizens of our town that protected these people just like they continue to other drugs dealers. Some of these drug dealers are connected to some of our more prominent citizens of our town. People hide behind a facade of honesty and integrity while financially backing these drug dealers. This will continue until we stand up tell them no. No to there criminal activities. Everybody knows that there is a meth and crack dealer that lives over in the golf course addition, the sheriff's department has not raided his house not even once. Why not, maybe is because he is being protected by special interest here in Borger.
Every week in Hutchinson County, addicts plea guilty to various (generally nonviolent) crimes and go to the pen. To see these people deteriorate both physically and mentally is heartbreaking. Children are abused and neglected by addict parents and removed from their homes. If they are lucky, they will go to grandparent or other relative. If they aren't lucky, a group shelter or foster home with strangers. Can these addicts get clean and change their lives? Yes, of course. But it is the exception, not the rule. And it is a battle more difficult than most of us can even imagine.
ANYONE, be it rich business owner or street dealer, who profits from poisoning our fellow citizens should be punished to the full extent of the law.
I'm a firm believer in "innocent until proven guilty", and we don't have any convictions yet. Wonder if the chatter will change once the guilty pleas start rolling in...
It really makes me mad when people throw around scriptures out of the bible like (KJV) Luke 6:37..."Judge not, and ye shall not be judged." What did Jesus mean when he said, "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged"? (KJV Luke 6:37). He said this as a part of teaching about love and forgiveness. He tells us to love everyone, including our enemies, and that we should not judge them. We should forgive them.
First, we need to note that Jesus is talking about our personal relationships with other people. Our one-to-one relationships.
Second, we need read the entire BIble, not just one verse. Note that in the above verse Jesus is talking about loving and forgiving other people. He does not say we should love what they are doing (or saying). In the Bible there is a distinction between people, and their behavior.
The Bible also tells us there are things that we are supposed to hate -- sins.
Sins are behaviours and thoughts that separate us from God.
1 Corinthians 6:1-20
1Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
5I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather [suffer yourselves to] be defrauded?
8Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that [your] brethren.
9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
12All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body [is] not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
14And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make [them] the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
As Christians we are to love the sinner, but hate the sin.
This means Christians are to be tolerant of others, but intolerant of sin. We are to love other people, and treat all other people with love, but that does not mean that we accept their sinful behavior. On the contrary, we are to detest and hate all sinful behavior and thoughts.
Judge behavior, not people: We now see that Jesus is telling us to not judge other people. This makes sense, we have no way to know someone else's thoughts or motives.
However, we do need to judge the behavior and speech of others.
For example: 2 Corinthians 6:14 tells us that we should not marry a non-Christian: "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers". How can we tell if someone is a believer or unbeliever? We judge their behavior. James 2:14-26 shows us that we see another's faith through their behavior.
Another example: 1 Corinthians 5:1-8 tells us that if someone is an unrepentant sinner, that person should be "turned over to Satan" by excluding the sinner from Christian fellowship.
We should judge other's behavior: Throughout the Bible we see that we are to judge the behavior of others.
We should not punish: However, we are not--as Christans--to punish them. Punishment is to be left to the proper authorities (government) and God.
We should not support sin: On the other hand we should not support sinful behavior, nor should we protect people from the consequences of unrepentant sinful behavior.
Really ppl this is crazy!!!!! Known fact they drug dealers. they have hurt meny of ppl. we have two carpet places in town Franks and Carsons. One is fighting to keep the doors open and the other just a blooming...one drives an old pick up and the other driven hummers...hummmmm lets see in todays market and with todays economy...millions out of work...cant buy food for the table but can buy carpet?????? really..my house has been broken into by druggies to support there habbits... fact.. gun was stolen... fact... gun found in drug raid...fact...are they the big fish no...they just the middle guys....look for the 78 year old with dimonds on all fingers....are they guilty YES...do i know for fact YES...do i have right to judge YES...Should they rot in hell..NO..cuz hell would be to good for them after what they have done to my two sons...YES i know for fact what they are ...what they do...Stand behind them all you want i just wish i could stand in the front row of a firring squad to end there evil ways...judge me not till you have had to live with what they had done to my children.
30 something checks,within a month, three different banks, bought with money brought into the bank in gallon sized plastic bags, smelling of chemicals, with said statement "make sure to keep this under the reporting amount" i.e. 3000$ is not legit to me in any way shape form or fashion (no pun intended).....if she wasn't hiding something....why didn't she do it the "legal" way? I have owned a business.....i didn't do business like that....so....really you can say what you want but i'm going with the facts stated in the report and that was def. not legal.
Someone needs to have the Borger Police Department and county officials looked into after knowing this kind of activity was going on. Why in the world did they let it go on for a year. It looks like to me, if you had enough of a case a year ago... it should have been rendered sooner. SO GLAD I dont live in this nasty town anymore!
I agree with you. However, this has been going on for WAY more then a year. I also want to say that I still do live in Borger, and most of the residents are good people. I would rather live here then in a nastier big city.
About time! Bottom line.... they broke the law, and you have to pay for what you do! What lies in the dark always come to the light. As far as Amy, she is one of the snottiest, rudest people I ever meet. This totally justifies when you make your bed, you must lay in it!! What comes around goes around.... Pretty sad you think you have to have money to be someone in stinky Borger TX! by frying peoples brains!!!the great thing is it took a major drug operation out of the panhandle from these pathetic, GREEDY low lives.
The definition of a news paper is the publication, usually issued daily or weekly, containing current news, editorials, feature articles, and usually advertising. The Fernandez family Drug Bust fits into this description. It is news, so the local news paper is doing their job. Even if they were not it is plastered all over the news on TV. I am super excited that they finally got busted. Anything done in excess will come to light. It just took longer for the Fernandez family to get caught than most. I rather not have drug money infusing back into the community. The Fernandez lived a very lavish lifestyle & became way too greedy. They affected a lot of life's both negatively & positively. I am so thankful that they got caught before they ruined my grandchildren lives. I know for a fact that there are a lot of addicts around, because of their selfishness & greed. If found guilty which I don't know how they would not be, since they are not in Hutchinson County I hope they rot in jail. I am blown away that anyone would take up for them except for those who they where supplying one way or another.
The affected a lot of people positively? Really? The only thing this family did was destroy their community. They ruined many many lives. That is was cocaine and meth do. They dealt death to some, and addiction to others. And, maybe even worse, while they sucked money illegally from the community, they simply didn't care about the lives they destroyed.
Although I do not personaly know this family, I do not CONDEMN them. It is not your place nor mine to say these things against them. Look up anyone in Borger, in one way or another, we all have dirt on us. EVEN YOU! The way I see it, there will always be crack heads and meth heads, so there will always be drug dealers. Thesepeople put alot of money back into Borger so kudos to them. Go ahead, get mad, say what you will about me. Some one is going to make the money, but not all will put back into their community. JUDGE NOT, LEST YE BE JUDGED.
After reading all of the comments on the News Herald website and all over facebook, it seems to be that everyone only posts how great it is that they got caught or how sad it is that they did. Not one comment that I have read has gone to the extent as to be rational and understand both points. Yes, we all have known for a long time what has been going on but it is not our place to air someone's dirty laundry. If it was such an inconvenience when it was going on then someone should have said something then, not now, and especially not over a public forum. Even though the Fernandez family has done all of this and it has been posted for all to see doesn't mean that us as citizens have any reason to say they are guilty. If that is your opinion, that is absolutely fine, but you do have to realize that nobody will effect the courts decisions in finding them guilty or not. Anyone who commits a crime knows the consequences of their actions, and shouldn't be so naive when it's time to pay for it. Sure, they've had a "good run" but obviously it was not going to last forever. Yes, the children and the innocent or wrongly accused are going to suffer from this. That is their mom, dad, uncle, brother, and family....How would you feel? All of the family and friends knew everything that was happening so to say that it is a shame or try to keep it covered as long as they can is actually pretty ridiculous. You know what you were doing and you knew the consequences so stop trying to act like you did nothing wrong. But like I said....It is always smart to realize that there are two sides to this and you should discuss it adequately and rationally instead of blaming or criticizing, or even trying to cover up what has already been proven by the evidence, now all there is to do is wait for the trials and let the people see for themselves.
Nice job! It's good to see someone making a statement that isn't attacking Amy or anyone involved! Let the courts do their job!!!
I don't normally comment on things, but this is really getting out of hand. What happened to Innocent until proven Guilty? I'm not saying they are guilty or innocent, just let the legal system try these people. If they are guilty =, they deserve to be punished to the full extent of the law, but all the comments are crazy, You could be hurting innocent people. How many innocent people are arrested? They could support their livestyle with a legal business. There is a HUGE mark up in the carpets and tiles they sold. They also worked all over the Panhandle, not just in Borger. So come on people get real. Let the legal system try them, YOU DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT!
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!!!!! I also have the right to live in a town that is free of drug dealers and rapists.....i have the right to know what is going on in my home town, and with the people that have also come into my home and installed carpet....i have the right to say whatever i want.....read the court documents released.....they have evidence. Had they been doing it legally then explain the 30something cashiers checks Amy got in a month....and then sent her son in to do it too?????? To pay off a debt that the carpet company owed???? doesn't seem to me anyone was making it legally but hey thats my opinion, and i have a right to MY opinion.....
Our four fathers build a foundation for this counrty. A very stronge one but it has come to the attention of meny that this foundation has not been supported over the meny of years...Part of this foundation is what is called the constitution.In the constitution is the ammendments of the Bill Of Rights. In the bill of rights it state.. We have the right to freedom of the press, freedom of speach,freedom to a speedy trial And the right to have a jury of of peers.
As i have been reading all the comments written here i see that none of you know your Constitution or your Bill Of Rights..
The Borger News Herald has the right to put the DRUG BUST on the front page of the paper. They have the right to report the news of this town. To the people of this town
You have the Right of Freedom of speach to give your oppinion if it is possitive or negative it does not matter.
The people invovled have the Right to a speedy trail. So that would mean that the Borger PD and the other goverment agencies had taken the time to get all the information to properly charge these people so they could have a speedy trial. And in the Bill of Rights the have the right to a jury of there peers. And untill they choose or not choose to have a jury trial cant really say much on that.
I am very happy the BORGER NEWS HERALD reported this news and will continue to do such, on this familey and others involved. I stand behind you Borger News Herald... Keep up with the great work.
I personally only wish that the Borger News Herald would have put pictures of all nine charged so i could watch for them in my area so I could keep my home and familey and neighbors safe from these people.
Well maybe on the next drug bust in borger this is something they could do to keep in mind of.. i knew out of the nine 3 by name and two of witch didnt have a pitcure. I knew two by the pictures.. just something to think about for the news paper...Again thank you Borger News Paper for keeping us informed
I have seen and heard the evidence too. Those thirty something cashiers checks went where? That seems like a legit business expense to me. Just ask anyone that has a business no matter how big or small.
Do you normally pay your business expenses with tons of small cashiers checks? If so you are probably guilty of something (you dont want people to know where you got the money to pay your debt), or are a fool who needs a decent accountant.
I am not a bit surprised by any of this, i feel awful for the children involved and other family members that are innocent. I liked all in the family but Amy and must say i am a bit giddy everytime i see her mugshot......my daughter went into her store one day with enough money to buy herself three pairs of miss me jeans and some tops, and Amy quickly screamed at her "this is not for kids......GET OUT OF HERE"....she used to be quite the snob...however now most know her booboo don't smell like roses! Maybe some time among her kind will humble her a little......:)
What is pathetic is that this has gone on so long and nothing has been done about it. I can definitely understand how this all this media might upset someone, especially when it effects the drug addicts and small time drug dealers. This is the the biggest news Borger has seen in a while. Go look at the headlines on big city newspapers, they air out the same dirty laundry. The only difference is, you probably don't know those criminals personally. Check out the real world one day. Not every city keeps things so hush hush like we are all used to in Borger. *Real Talk*
The negativity Comments are amusing. Y'all actually think that of all the Fernandez's? Do yourselves a favor and just don't even bother commenting. Arguing nor agreeing with this situation isn't helping and it sure is not any of yalls business. Since y'all wanna state yalls opinion.. Well here's mine. I think Its ridiculous for the News herald to have this situation posted front page. Especially for when, where their court day is? Ha wow.. That definitely proves right there that this town is full of haters. Even if it were someone else's situation.. I still would not JUDGE nor CRITICIZE. This shows yalls true colors. Y'all are all behind a keyboard talking trash? Lol. You are all so mature!
this town has always been full of haterz......but it is the news and it is public information....AND most of us that have web access and have read the documents released the other day do know some FACTS soooo, call it what you want, i don't want my name plastered all over the news....so i don't deal dope....keep yourself legal and you don't have to worry about it....borger news isn't the only paper talking about this....amarillo is too....it's not just some small time thing here, this was a BIG bust.
It definitely is everybody's business what goes in in their home town. We are the ones who are effected by it. We have the right to know if our neighbor is a sex offender. We have the right to know if we live in a town with a murderer. And we have a right to know if our local carpet man employees drugs users whom we allow into our home to install carpet. We have a right to know that these dishonest criminals may have had our credit cards run through their businesses. This is our city....this is our business.
Personally, I am happy about the bust. BPD spends too much manpower trying to catch the users when the big time drug suppliers are right there on MAIN STREET! I hope this bust has a positive impact on the city of Borger by possibly gaining some productive citizens. Maybe if they can't find drugs, they will look for a job.
I am curious what other illegal activities will be discovered in this investigation. It is a known fact that the Fernandez family used their money to lure young (adult) girls into engaging in (sometimes forced) sex acts and/or pornography. They were very loose about who they would approach for these things. I understand that prostitution work both ways, but the Fernandez family and their drug money aided to these acts in a sufficient way. I suppose this is what happens when fast money lands in the hands of people who were born without common morals.
You're pathetic..
Unfourtnatly theres another business on main street that does the same thing(sell drugs) I wont name names here but I hope it doesnt take as long to bust them as it did Franks and yes these men offered many of my friends money for sex they thougth they were untouchable but luckly someone other the borgers finest got involved
Someone commented earlier on the "rumor mill". Where you err, sir or madam, is assuming that nobody has any facts here. Well, with most every rumor comes a little bit of fact. You (and the Borger PD) would have to be fools (or paid off) to not see what they were doing. I for one am glad the scumbags are in jail. Jealousy, as you suggested, has nothing to do with it. I am not jealous of possessions paid for with ill gotten gains. I personally lost a friend to meth. Nobody held a gun to his head and made him take it, so he is not guilt free. However, the people how deal in drugs to make this scenario possible can rot in hell or jail whichever comes first.
In response to the first comment on this story,it is common knowledge that this family has done this for years and if you dont want to admit it you are very naive, yes many of us have seen it and the sad thing is there are still others donig same thing and have been for a while, why Borger P D lets it happen is just not right Amy Frenadez was always a snob and I for one am happy the finaly got busted
No one has been convicted of any crime! Amy and Frank are great people and have helped mul folks in that area. I know you have to report the news but please get the facts straight!!!
And to you others who think you know them...just by what you have heard!!!! It is amazing to me that you people that talk crap for you own enjoyment. Please get a freaking life!!! And to thatt Judy woman..who the are you to say the gossip you are spreading!!! Do u know the facts???? Have you seen it with your own eyes??? I don't think so. Were you not taught by your parents not teach you not to judge or if nothing nice to say don't say it at all. Do you not think that this is someone's daughter, sister, brother, mother, ect...how would you feel if you were in their shoes or their family's shoes!!
For the folks standing by and supporting the family thank you!!! You have no idea how much it means to the family. There are not enough words to express what it means to this family!!!
This case won't go to trial...the investigation occurred over a one year period, involving undercover agents and wire taps. It won't be hard to show that the "books" for their businesses were used as fronts to launder money in attempt to account for the income they spent on their lifestyles. The Fernandez's have already turned on each other, as well as extended family members and associates, and each will seek a plea bargain! They lived the "high life", but didn't get there by honest means! Hey, there should be some nice cars and real estate available for auction once these cases adjudicated! :)
It is amazing to me that you are so naive,they have done this for years ,its how he got his seed money for carpet store anyone in the hispanic community can tell you that.And honey its not what i heard its what ive seen they have been dealers for years its common knowledge if you refuse to see it than you are very blind yes this is someones daugther ,son ect but they made there choice years ago to do this,Amy has been a snob for years ,just walk in to her store and she looks down on you if she thinks you cant afford her store, she had money but drug money dont make you any better than anyone Im glad they got busted I only feel for the kids
I agree wholeheartedly. It is blasphemous and downright repulsive that the Borger News Herald would report this kind of news. To report that these god-fearing Borger residents were allegedly in possession of 50+ grams of methamphetamine and/or 5+ kilograms (yes, kilograms) is just plain rude. I mean, who hasn't been tagged for packing a few bricks in the trunk from time to time? Give 'em a break, people. It's all a big misunderstanding.
Well I can honestly say I have never been tagged with any bricks of anything so I disagree with your comments and opinions. If they really were God fearing people they wouldn't have went against God and did what they did. I also don't appreciate people like you even using God in your words and sentences because your just another person claiming to be for God when apparently like you said you have been tagged with bricks of drugs and a Christian wouldn't have any such thing!!!!
People like you make me sick. "Get the facts straight!!" ? How about "Stop supporting these drug dealers whole are destroying our community!!!" Frank and his brothers have been poisoning our streets for years while idiots like you stood by and watched. How can you sit there and try to defend these thugs? Did they buy you off too? The only ones I feel sorry for are their kids. The rest can rot in hell for all I care.

As Managing Editor of MotorMavens, I get to see a lot of really cool videos, images, etc from all around the world but, rarely does one just jump right into my lap like this one did. Through the miracle of modern technology, and the Facebook chat feature (thank you Mark Zuckerberg!), Adam Crellin contacted me from Sydney in New South Wales, nearly 10,000 miles (and 15 time zones!) away, to drop this drag racing gem from his team (Deno's Racing) on me. Adam shot this video at the Sydney Dragway and at the Perth Motorplex at Kwinana Beach and it was his first time shooting a video. Ever. So, of course, I'm dropping it on you!
Now, I could probably list a million stats about these 3500hp (Yes. Thirty Five HUNDRED horsepower!), all carbon-fiber bodied, 1967 Camaro-based drag demons. I could tell you that they both have 17″ wide rear tires, 521 cubic inch Brad Anderson engines, three-speed air shifted Lenco gearboxes, PSI superchargers, and Murray Anderson chassis modified by Deno's Racing and SCF Racecars. I could tell you that their team has one of the first "door cars" in Australia to break the five second barrier. In fact, these cars go from 0-200 in four seconds and they ran a 5.95 @ 246 mph in the quarter. I should also probably tell you that a "door car" is a racecar with functioning doors (unlike Top Fuel or Funny Cars) and they're popularly referred to as "doorslammers." (more…)Tweet

Comments about
Dog Leg Chisels, Set of 3
Good design (although not exactly a new concept)but low quality in execution. Had to lap the bottoms flat and, no matter how much I tried, I could not get a sharp edge on them (and I'd rate myself as fairly proficient, but not expert, at sharpening my gouges and chisels).
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Not so sturdy
Magnolia, Tx
Got the 3-piece set as a gift. Used the left skewed chisel on western red cedar, a very soft wood, and the chisel broke at the thinnest part as the blade turns up at the dogleg. And no, I wasnt putting too much pressure on the tool. Have used these type chisel before on numerous occasions without problems but it was a set bought several years ago. Perhaps quality has changed. Even for a budget tool, it should not have broken so easily.
Handy for small motrises
Pensacola, FL
I really liked the idea of these chisels for their size, they are helpful in small fine work like mortising small box hinges. They were fairly sharp as recieved, but before I could use them to their maximum potential, they had to be lapped flat, not unusual on chisels of any kind. but something to be aware of. Once tuned, they work great. The ferrules are cheap thin steel, and the handle generic stained hardwood is reasonably comfortable. Not fine chisels, but they do the job. Price to value, not too bad.
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Writer. Speaker. Veteran. Military aviator. Adventurer. Ruralite. Artist in Residence. Guest Faculty. Lover of chocolate and red wine. Mom.
In junior high school, I wrote "writer, artist," on my dreams and plans list, and the rest is history, as they say, though not really, not if you consider history some kind of a linear path. During high school I flirted with law and veterinary science, returned to English literature as a major in college (along with art history), and went off to fly Apache helicopters in the Army for the rest of my twenties. In the midst of school and flying came skydiving, big-mountain climbing and long-course triathlons. To turn all that into something practical, I went to business school, and worked in the corporate jungle for a few years with some excellent people. Then I started an MDiv (part-time), and decided not to pursue it. I'm sure I've missed something, but that's mostly it.
I came back to writing for a few reasons, in part to set an example for the children we hoped to have, wanting them to live lives true to whomever they might turn out to be, and in part because I understood suddenly that life was short and I wanted to wrestle with life by way of words and find its beauty. I went back for an MFA.
Returning to writing, I was crushed by Annie Dillard's recommendations to young writers not to go to Nepal, but to go instead to the library and write, and refreshed to read later (as I believe, because I must) that the Hemingway mystique of experience first, write later was back in vogue. Because it was too late for me not to go to Nepal: I'd been in Bosnia and Korea, Arctic Alaska and the hot tarmac of the southern US, and I wouldn't do it any differently all over again.
Either way, I speak about courage and transformation, and I write about the difficulties of navigating borders, borders between life and death, between reality and dreams, between self and other. Terry Tempest Williams points out this is the "ecotone," that place between ecosystems, the place where change occurs. The important things in life turn out to happen in those liminal places on the borders, the margins, the fringes, the shores, and I'll be forever trying to figure them out. "Where is an edge," asks Annie Dillard in The Writing Life, "--a dangerous edge--and where is the trail to the edge and the strength to climb it?" I've started with creative non-fiction, but sometimes wonder if truth isn't easier to tell in fiction and harder but most important in poetry, so hope my keyboard will lead me down those windy paths one of these days.
When I'm not writing, I work as an artist-in-residence with Methow Arts and as occasional guest faculty in writing programs. Occasionally I procrastinate by reading, painting, playing piano or heading out in the mountains cycling, skiing or backpacking with my family.

Fangio's 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196 sells for record $29.65 million
Mercedes-Benz W196R 00006/54. Photos courtesy Bonhams.
Until Friday, July 12, the most expensive car ever sold at auction was a 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa Prototype, sold by Gooding & Company at its 2011 Monterey auction for $16.4 million (at the time, about 10 million British pounds). That now seems like a relative bargain compared to the $29.65 million (19,601,500 British pounds, including premiums) realized by Bonhams at its Goodwood sale for the Mercedes-Benz W196
R that helped legendary F1 driver Juan Manuel Fangio achieve his second Formula 1 championship in 1954.
The sum more than doubles the previous record for a German automobile sold at auction, which was the $11.77 million that a 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540 K Special Roadster sold for at Gooding & Company's Pebble Beach 2012 sale. Still, there is good reason for Mercedes-Benz W196
R chassis number 00006/54 achieving the staggering number it did: Not only was it driven by Fangio himself to two grand prix race wins, but it is the only W196 in private hands.
Even without the direct link to Fangio, calling the car historically significant is a bit of an understatement. Following Fangio's time behind the wheel, the car was driven by Hans Hermann and later by Karl Kling. Upon its retirement from racing, 00006/54 was restored and displayed in the Mercedes-Benz museum (and later shown throughout Europe) before later being pressed into service for tire development and testing. It was also the favorite "testing car" of the legendary Mercedes-Benz engineer, Rudolf Uhlenhaut, who in late 1969 had it reserved at all times for his personal use.
Perhaps adding to the car's value (and certainly to the new buyer's peace of mind), the car was authenticated by Mercedes-Benz Classic prior to being offered for sale by Bonhams. Per M-B Classic's written evaluation of the car:
Based on the extensive original documentation in the Mercedes-Benz Classic Archives and an inspection of the vehicle by the Mercedes-Benz Classic specialists, we were able to decisively ascertain that the vehicle in question is in fact the original vehicle from the 1954/1955 racing season. The engine fitted in the vehicle, which was able to be identified by means of the identification number stamped on it as well as a number of other markings, was found to be the M 196 R engine model variant with which the vehicle in question retired on 9 December 1955 from a successful racing season. The identification numbers stamped on the front and rear axles, the transmission and the steering gear clearly indicate that these are components which were also fitted in the vehicle bearing the vehicle identification number 0006/54 at the end of the 1955 season.
While a substantial amount, the price paid for the Mercedes-Benz does not surpass the highest known price paid for a car; that record goes to the 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO that sold last May in a private transaction for $35 million.
We will include full results from the Bonhams Goodwood sale after its conclusion.

So was it Mercedes-Benz that put the car up for auction? If so, I'm surpised they let it go. How many W196Rs are in existence? If there were only two left, and I were Mercedes-Benz, I'd want to hold on to both.
I can't believe someone would buy a car for that much money. I won't even get close to making that much in my life, crazy.
……."well bought, sir", as the auctioneers say when flattering a buyer………in spite of the stratospheric price, it's quite possible that the seller is having second thoughts about the transaction, this was no batmobile………..one thing for sure, the auction house is smiling all the way to the bank, they just made more on one sale than some smaller houses do in a year of activity and hundreds of transactions.
Ray, you are correct sir, this is not a Batmobile.
This is a appreciable item.
I am sure the new owner is as proud as a new papa this morning.
The only person who would be upset is the backup bidder.
The reason some auction houses get great cars and some get junk………….. it all comes down to results.
This buyer just bought history. We can make all the jokes we want but if the buyer is able to preserve it then it was worth every dime.
What a car, what an auction!
This is great.
I hope the new owner leaves it in its original, unrestored state. I'd like to see this thing charging up the hill at Goodwood, but now it's so valuable, I wonder if it will ever roll again under its own power.
……at this price it suggests a new owner who can have it both ways…….having it vintage raced by paid name drivers, and going "on the lawn" at concours d'elegances worldwide……..maintenance and shunt damage won't scare this guy.
Can anyone say who bought it?
Wow, that's a lot of money for a car. But if there was a car that was worth it, this might be it.
Love the patina. Hope to see it out at more vintage events, hopefully where there is little risk of damage.
Being driven
Tony, thanks for sharing the video, I really enjoyed it.
I've been studying pics of this car for about 45 minutes. It has drive shafts in the front – but those are for the inboard drums, right? Where the heck is the drive shaft to the rear diff? The seat seems flat and low. And where's the diff? Hmm…
Power is taken off the crank in the MIDDLE of the engine via gears, not off the rear of the crank. The better to reduce uneven stress on the LONG crank!
Beautiful Car – Beautiful Price !!
If the buyer has a wife I wonder if he told her yet?
I doubt any insurance company would insure it, so maybe four or five really mean dogs to guard it 24/7
I'm 99% positive that the new owner paid cash for this car and probably doesn't have to worry about it too much. It's not like me accidentally buying a car on a certain online auction site once.. oops..
Maybe we'll see this car show up on one of the 30,302,056 car insurance commercials that are on every day.
(I really don't watch TV as much as my 2 posts here lead a person to believe!)
Buyer also has Herreshoff classic racing yacht rumor has it !
What a colossal waste of $. This car means something in the minds of about 10 people.
Well, F1 is like Soccer. The other 96% of the world's population loves it. That being said, I'll agree that only about 10 people worldwide could afford it at that price. To whoever bought it, it's Fangio's Merc, and that means a lot. There's more of us (worldwide) than you'd think who'd spend that kind of coin on it if we had it.
Personally, at my age, I'd rather have Senna's MP4/4..but I don't think that one's leaving Woking anytime soon. For me, Fangio was history..but I actually *saw* Senna race.
thousands of people could have afforded that car… it's a question of 'Who'….?
…but… I think it's a SI Valley venture cap-dude… lol…
This shouldn't be thought of as a car. It's a piece of history and a work of art. To me, it seems it should be worth more than ANY painting. The buyer got a bargain, assuming he/she/it can afford it.
Those were the days. I remember so well waiting each month for the new Road & Track magazine with the GP results, Fangio, Moss, Kling. Who won where. And Bresson's photography was so good.
The cars had character too, no ads! When they became billboards I lost interest. Now the drivers are covered with visual litter also.
I wonder who could have afforded to pay that much for a car….?
If I were a detective looking for this car…………..I would start in a certain garage in Davos, Switzerland! I have seen other cars of that caliber in that custom built storage facility!
…omG… hmm… The garage is getting too much press…
What on earth do you do with it once you get it ? We can only hope that this car will continue to be seen and used. I suspect that whoever insures it will be reluctant to do either….
Dear new owner of this . . .(can't allmost find
really worthwile adjectives…) . . . overwhelming,
breathtaking jewel of car-, racing- and Benzhistory: My sincere congratulations.
you can afford it !
Luck and take care,
Heidger Schumann
from Mannheim, home of the first motorcar(Benz), home of the first tractor(Lanz) and home of the first bike(Drais)
I'm going with John Luma on this one… what a waste.
The car is described as a W196R. In its day it was always referred to as a W196 – without the 'R'. The engine may be an M196R, but that doesn't make the car a W196R. Just as a W154 did not become a W163 in 1939, when an M163 engine was installed in it.. That mistake took more than 40 years before it was rectified. I hope history is not repeating itself..
If I was a billionaire I would have bid on it. I was a fan of Fangio during his racing days and later saw him vintage drive at Long Beach. Fangio was in my opinion the greatest driver ever, and he started racing F1 when he was 40 years old! I saw a W196 run at a vintage race and they sound fantastic. Buying this was a once in a lifetime opportunity and that's what dictated the price.
I saw Fangio drive that car in the early 70,s, exhibition laps at Sandown race track, Melbourne , Australia ,, you never forget things like that .
A piece of automobile history without any doubt. Was it ever restored or is this how it was when it was retired from racing ?
Whoever bought it is a lucky person indeed and hope they bring it out to play often.
As for price,its just money !!!
This car will appreciate more in value than any other investment on earth.
No comment, I'm still trying to get back on to my chair….
At least curious to see the same page one winning Mercedes Benz, which was guided by the legendary Fangio, sold for 30 million dollars, alongside an ad for a Ford Mercury Mot Clair coupe, on sale for an affordable $ 500.
How many of these car were made
I think it's absolutely ridiculous, I believe if you've worked hard you should be able to spend a little money on yourself but 30 million for a car? You could have bought brand new homes for 200 people or more, I just don't get it!
Has anyone else seen the W196R at the Winton Races in Australia recently ? Its' story was reported in the Chrysler Club club newsletter dated 13 November 2002

Not an obituary ...
Eric had exactly what Manning found so reprehensible in Newman; the old Anglican Oxford Patristic tone. It was a style of theological Anglican Catholicism which read and remembered; which argued and did Divinity in accordance with the rules of evidence and of logic; which was deeply marked by the continuities of the Anglican Catholic tradition and its rootedness in parish church as well as in Cathedral and library.
Sadly, Eric was a man out of his age. His gentle gifts of erudition and rational discourse seemed naked before the mechanised onslaught of the panzer divisions of Liberalism and feminism. It was under Eric's leadership of the Catholic Movement that, uneasily, we gradually became aware that we were winning every argument but losing the war. It took some time to realise it, but eventually we identified the strengths our enemies possessed. Their idea of 'discussion' or 'dialogue' meant shouting abuse until their foes fell silent. They would never engage in argument rationally because they already knew every answer. To disagree with them was but to manifest one's own psychological problems -one's phobias and hang-ups and prejudices. What defences had the methods by which Divinity was done on the banks of the Isis against this ruthless totalitarianism and its readiness to exterminate?
Only God knows if the Ordinariate game will work out in practice. If it does, this would be the best possible memorial to Eric: the old Oxford Patristic Tone - the Divinity of Pusey and Keble and Liddon and Kemp and and Carpenter and Farrer and Mascall and Chadwick and Cross and Kilpatrick and so many others - as a living and thriving reality in a broader Christendom. We owe it to them to ensure that the Anglican Patrimony is not just seen as needlework and anthems at Evensong.

Perhaps someone could one day write something like brief biographical notes about all these men who worked so hard to make anglo-catholicism survive.
It would be something wonderful and a "must-read" for all members of the Anglican Ordinariates in communion with Rome.
(I'll never be a member, being a cradle Catholic from Argentina, but there's no doubt I would do my best to get a copy of that book).
Well, just a thought...
May he rest in peace.

IIRC, the late great Eric Mascall was a Cambridge man (Pembroke, I believe) who did most of his teaching in London; Henry Chadwick (like his brother Owen, who is still with us to remind us of a more civilised age) also graduated from the establishment in the Fens.

Your third paragraph in particular deserves to be widely read as a brief but telling analysis of what has happened to the Catholic movement in the C of E. But I have one question: when you write (inter alia) "Their idea of 'discussion' or 'dialogue' meant shouting abuse until their foes fell silent", was this a new phenomenon, or had we simply forgotten how to counter it? (Or did we still know, in principle, how to counter it, but were no longer sufficiently confident in our theological and ecclesiological presumptions to do so?)

Deeply concerned by this headline and article:
http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/articles/a0000695.shtml which includes this quote from Archbishop Nichols:
"The Apostolic Constitution gives us the end game but not the process. It is up to us, working with the Church of England, to look at the process."
In other words, how can we make this process as difficult and humiliating as possible?

In response to Steve:
I seem to recall that, whilst under the Measure bishops had the right to make their dioceses no-go areas, as part of the deal that led to the Act of Synod those bishops who would have exercised this right agreed to waive it.
The choice they were faced with was between:
a. Keeping women ministers out of a handful of dioceses (and only whilst the incumbent bishop remained in office -thereafter the diocesan's right to exclude them would lapse).
b. The provision of a system of "extended episcopal care" for traditionalists throughout the provinces of Canterbury and York.
As it happened they judged that sacrificing a. was a price worth paying for b.

Andrew: Thank you very much for the link.
I guess I'll have to read it along with Wikipedia, since Father William is speaking for people who knows much more than me about anglo-catholicism.
But we (non English Roman Catholics) need this kind of material, because the Holy father has been "crystal clear" that we need your gifts.
The first thing I think I'm going to read is "John Keble's sermon on the National Apostasy" if I find it.
"National Apostasy"... sadly I know a lot about it.

In partial answer to my question above, I cannot resist quoting the following from C S Lewis' 1941 essay "Bulverism":
You must show that a man is wrong before you start explaining why he is wrong. The modern method is to assume without discussion that he is wrong and then distract his attention from this (the only real issue) by busily explaining how he became so silly. In the course of the last fifteen years I have found this vice so common that I have had to invent a name for it. I call it "Bulverism". Some day I am going to write the biography of its imaginary inventor, Ezekiel Bulver, whose destiny was determined at the age of five when he heard his mother say to his father — who had been maintaining that two sides of a triangle were together greater than a third — "Oh, you say that because you are a man." "At that moment", E. Bulver assures us, "there flashed across my opening mind the great truth that refutation is no necessary part of argument. Assume that your opponent is wrong, and the world will be at your feet. Attempt to prove that he is wrong or (worse still) try to find out whether he is wrong or right, and the national dynamism of our age will thrust you to the wall." That is how Bulver became one of the makers of the Twentieth Century.
Refutation is no necessary part of argument – the perfect motto for the proponents of the New Church Agenda.

It was his choice, but only in the rather limited sense that it's your "choice" to take poison, if the only alternatives I offer you are that or being hanged.
