Looks good!!

Your C5 and my C4 will make a good looking pair running down the highway to FL in June.
These are mostly pictures you already saw from the PO. it's too snowy to get it out and get pictures of my own, but I will at first opportunity.

Yes indeed these two cars will look awesome running down the road together, I can't wait. Sometime as soon as the weather breaks, March most likely, I'm planning a day trip to Rolla so you can check it out.

I know Romie well, he lives about 4 miles from me. We served together in the National Guard. Small World indeed. I have never been on the Power Tour but I did run into a group of participants at the Woodshed resturant as they came through last year. I had planned to join the Tour in past years and I have a 67 Chevelle that was 90% ready and my son had an accident in it. That was over 10 years ago now, I pulled the Chevelle in the garage where it has sat since. One day I will fix and finish it.
Well if you see Romey tell him Mike Hayes says hello. The last I knew he had a Toro dealership I think. But that was years ago. And get that Chevelle fixed!

Cool!

Another thought, maybe meet more in the middle and take the wives to dinner. Around the Lake maybe?
