Mackennzie and I had a GREAT time at the rumble - old friends, new friends, beautiful cars, and a great drive. Special thanks to John for organizing the BBQ, to Fred our tour guide for finding such great roads, and to Alan for the great pictures!!! And condolences to Tony - it was painful for all of us to watch.

Here's what is supposed to be a picture of our fearless photog Alan - proof that his work is really appreciated and us amateurs leave a lot to be desired! I'll post more when I have time to resize them.

Rich, thanks for the welcome. Joining this group has been a great experience.

John, you and so many others know more about this car then I. I have yet to find any ghosts in the closet, so I think I made a good purchase. Maybe we will cross paths at the next BAR event.

Hey you're not going anywhere. Your car will be back soon.

Jim, thanks, it was great to see both of you Sat. Say hi to Mckenzie for me.

Hey Zo, your car was very photogenic Saturday. Red Hot!

What's even funnier is that many of us know ALL (3) of the previous owners of the car....LOL...

Holy smokes! That's DJ's former car??!! Yes, curveraider - you have a good one. You can definitely "drove" your car at any event near you because you are all ready to go. I've seen DJ drive this car quite quickly on several occasions. Have fun with it.

Default A Late thanks to all who put this together

You guys are ALL over this board as soon as you get home. It was good to meet a few of the So Cal gang and some others who drove down from No Cal. who I didn't get the chance to meet on our last Big Sur run.

Jim, thanks for the great roads again, It was a blast. Really felt bad about Pong especially since we weren't really pushing it through that section. At least it wasn't Hwy 25. So sorry you missed the BBQ but thanks for hanging out with Brad and others to get Pong and his car home safely.

John, GREAT job for the major event planning and getting all the folks together.

Sounds like everyone from So. Cal also had some great roads to explore. Tony I hope to see you back on the road soon better than ever. I can't imagine how bummed I would have been not being able to DRIVE my baby home.

I have to say I capped it off with a EARLY morning run up Hwy 1 to Laguna and the ALMS race. Not a single car I had to pass going north from Cambria to Big Sur!! WOW what fun, wish some others were along with me.
