Unbelievable weekend. Awesome cars and wonderful people. Between the cars that folks drove to the event and the cars in RUF's showroom and shop....sensory overload.

Terry Adams took me a spin in his 997TT. We stayed under 100, but we got there so quick, I felt brain matter moving to the back of my scull. Terry, that was a once in a lifetime burst of acceleration.

Pong insisted I drive his RUF. Didn't want to hurt his feelings. I was so awed to drive this machine. You TT guys know, but 'boost' gets in your soul. I daydreamed all the way home today of sending my car to RUF for RUF stuff. I'd try and replicate C4Consult's car. Nice one.

Pong, seriously, Thank You.

Tony, thanks for spending time with us, and all the other stuff you did. Greatly appreciated.

Tony's car is perfectly modded and is beatiful. And it sounds OK too.

Saw Patrick's Mondial. A great example. Sounds like a Ferrari too.

Javier picked up his RUF this weekend. You'll just have to see some more pictures of his car. That'll tell the whole story.

Steve's car is a beauty. He and Javier both have center exhaust systems. What a great sound (and look).

Mr. Sullivan is on his 2nd pristine C2S. Nice to meet you Jonathan.

And there were just a whole let more great people and cars....for those of you I met and didn't mention, very nice to meet all of you.

Around 10 of us went to dinner. We lined up our cars at the restaurant. Steve and Javier have some nice shots, I'm sure. Dan and I were allowed to park with the RUF's and TT's. The one thing that I was proud of though is that my car was the lowest of the lot. Of course, it took a flat tire to get there.....

Wow...what an event and what about the cars?! The RUF people were great and it was incredible to see those cars up close and personal. We even had the weather cooperate...this time of year in Dallas can be "interesting".

Later,
Buck

What a great day! I was excited to meet everyone and see some old friends. I wish that I could have gone to dinner - but the leash is tight on the weekends.

There were some fantastic cars there. Marv, thanks for letting me drive the BTR. I cannot get it out of my head!

Leonard,

It was nice meeting you and nice roof shots! Love seeing the bulging fenders on your machine from above. I hope to see you at Porsche Palooza in the fall.

Marvin, great meeting you... finally! Your BTR is pretty sweet, it made a lot of people very envious of the mean exhaust sounds.
