Jo-- Welcome to town! I'll be looking for your Mini & bright shoes.

F-cars: I toured an Enzo. Immediate respect for the owner: I noticed the poorly-matching touchup-paint on the nose, & then the clearbra cut by human hand. It's his daily driver -- mileage already up to the the mid-20s. Very cool

On the highway enroute to the Laguna Seca Raceways paddock yesterday, I passed an opposite-direction 356 Speedster yesterday, & was more transfixed on it than the traffic light in front of me. Had I bent sheetmetal, I would've said, "But officer, you don't see those in the wild very often. A 356 Speedster; nearly as cool as JoAnne's ol' Outlaw. Surely you understand." To which he would've hauled me off to jail, simply for calling him Shirley.

If you see 'em, ask prominent PCAers Bruce Anderson & Prescott Kelly. According to this thorough & very useful schedule, they're both judging.

Holding out for a deal or as the DeadHeads would have said "I NEED A MIRACLE".


I'm sitting in our room right now and all I can here are the sounds of Porsches and Ferrari's. The boys are in town! Lots of 993's parked on the streets of Carmel tonight. FINALLY!
