Ah, ok. Thanks. I've heard they put on some event every year, or maybe more than one, I don't really know. I'll check it out. Effingham isn't far from me.

Nice ride Johnny Dee, congratulations!

On another subject a dirty 2003 50th Anniversary convertible with 88K miles was being offered for $23,995. I passed on that.
