Default Back from Carlisle

Just want to thank all those that stopped by my tent to say hello. I didn't get around to see much of the show this year but did get to speak to a lot of fellow corvette people. I didn't sell much but that's not why I was there.

Gary, it was a pleasure meeting you face to face finally. It's only taken close to 10 years.

I hope you enjoyed the weekend as much as I did.

Joe..

DB,
Funfest is a long haul for me, probably more then double the drive I have to Carlisle. I'd like to go but doubt I'll make it. One of the things I offered Carlisle in the past was for me to setup some tech classes on site, just hasn't worked out so far. Do they have anything like that at Funfest?

Joe, my pleasure to finally meet you as well. I'm glad I walked over first thing in the am to meet you, as I was under the tent the rest of the day. I did have a good time and met a lot of folks all with a common interest.

Your car and workmanship is outstanding, do you want to open a vette shop! LOL

Damn Gary, I pulled a last minute fly in and did not know you were there. I would have loved to stopped by. We took our Assembly CD's there and were covered up, but I would have enjoyed meeting you!

Yeah I think they do, but you'd have to email them about it or call to get specific details. They have a seminars section on the site but no information yet. I would guess this is where you would come in.

I know there will be Steel Shields on hand and installed during Fun fest, located near the Hooker headers display. Drop be and say hi to Gary.

I keep my title in a lock box at home. Scary taking it on a trip. You will enjoy it much more when you own it. I can't imagine payments on my z06. That's way too much car to finance.
