Greetings from a fellow Pensacolian. I'll give you a big wave if I see you and yours cruising around.

Make sure you have a good relationship with Leo. You will need his expertise sooner or later!

My wife was driving our '80 again today. I reminder her how good it looks on her. It is SO cool when I see a woman driving a C3, and I'm not the only one. At Car Craft Summer Nationals last summer, my wife took our daughter for a cruise around the grounds in our '80. Both my wife and daughter are stereotypical blonde Swedes. As they pulled out, a guy stared, put his hands on his hips, and said, "That's hot!" My wife blipped the throttle a couple of times, winked at him, and took off.

I bugged Leo to death with my questions. He has already been through the car and said it was a "good" grade car with zero rust and just the problems associated with NOT being driven much..dry caliper lip seals, leaking steering control valve and a few minor things. He said he was impressed with the overall condition.

Some things are worth more than $$$$$$$$

Make sure you keep them both.
