Patrick,
Did you have the RUF when we met at RUF? Is this the same car that was previously on Ebay?

Yes, Javier it is the same car. But there was more to the story. Sent you a PM.

Plan to detail the car a bit this weekend. I will take some pics and post up a new thread.

Thanks Chuck. How about that for a happy ending! See you on the Pig Trail in November!

That's why I conluded by saying I am blessed. It take all the stars to align to do a trip of this nature: friends, Rufs, time (and like you folks, to me family ALWAYS comes first as well), the right season (summers and winters are out), and the right weather (for pictures and driving safety).

I do hope that you folks can replicate our epic trip though. The experience and memories will last a life time.

I don't know if I can wait for Tony, Patrick, and Jonathan to retire and for their children to grow up.

At least it may allow me enough time to upgrade to a Ruf, or at least a TT.

Wow... where is that, Javier?

BTW, I had several neighbors asked if I had a Porsche Convention last weekend? They said they heard the rumbling of the exhausts... it had to be your beast and RUFUS singing.
